I'm going to be leaving for the foreseeable future. This was meant to be my prof games industry account, but since I'm not there right now it isn't worth being in this...muck. Account will stay active to keep the tag, just no responses. Discord is the best way to contact me👋

Ultimately, a Pokemon game is like executing mini projects for fun. You guide your project team of 6 Pokemon to victory. You plan, you path, you pivot, you succeed.

And I just think that's rad. (7/7)

[Colby Harrison @TesttingGames_]

Over the past 6 months, I've been competing in competitive Pokemon. As it's wrapping up now, I want to chat about how this journey this year has helped me professionally. [I'm gonna recap how I've grown personally on my personal account @testting_ ] (1/7)

[Colby Harrison @TesttingGames_]

This scenario could leave artists without meaningful work, could duplicate work, or could restrict how designers and engineers make a prototype. There's also outside factors such as budget or time that could change your project plan mid project. (6/7)

@bexbassell Congrats!!!!

Wow what a "flash" from the past...hehe...

This Is The Only Level was high up there as one of my favorite flash games. Really excited to see these games remastered!

We heard you missed a certain blue elephant... 🐘

Say helloaphant to The Elephant Collection–@jmtb02's series of classic elephant-themed Flash games, lovingly remastered for PC with an overarching metagame you're sure to love a ton!

After 60 hours, I have finally beaten a run of @WildfrostGame.

Overall, really enjoying the game. From a dev perspective, the discourse around the "unbalanced" and "unforgiving" game is fascinating. I'm gonna talk about this in more length on my website (stay tuned!)

[Colby Harrison @TesttingGames_]

Hi folks! Over the course of this month, this account will become my professional account. It'll focus on game production, industry topics, and debuting my own website.

My new account @testting_ will be about me and my interests. Mutuals can request a follow!

Sexual violence is a problem everywhere, especially in the games industry, and it needs to end. Full stop. Help support the effort to end sexual violence while celebrating the power of writing and stories.

[Colby Harrison @TesttingGames_]

For mutuals who are active writers, my former colleague @KF_Johnson is hosting the 10th annual #WritersForHope auction raising money for charities that support survivors of sexual violence. You can get work critiques, consultation calls, or even a signed CD from Carole King.

[Writers For Hope @writersforhope]

Bidding on the Tenth Annual #WritersForHope Auction is now OPEN!!

Here's the picture of the standings! Only 40 spots away from day 2. Also feels surreal being next to legendary names like @CarsonConfer and @AnimusVGC .

[Colby Harrison @TesttingGames_]

I ended up 6-3 and got 87th place! This is best I've ever done at a regional. It means so much that I'm getting better at this game, besides getting wins. VGC helps me work on my self confidence, self trust, and my ability to be a better person and friend.

Next up Hartford!

GDC I'm sure is beneficial, and I'll get there one day, but the barrier for entry is a lot. Games are for everyone, whether you make them or play them.

This is a long way of saying thank you mutuals for sharing your resources and stories.

[Colby Harrison @TesttingGames_]

I was going to go to #GDC in 2020. As a newcomer, I thought it was one of the few ways to "make it".

Three years later, I'm discovering there are plenty of other ways to "make it" that don't break the bank. Seeing mutual devs who haven't gone achieve their goals is reassuring.
