@Vladonian hello!

I don't know if I'll perform tomorrow because I'm very low on energy. But I know that just by going to algorhythms I'm going to charge my battery and get some good feels. It's such a sweet community and I'm thankful for it!

I hit the fourth and final ending in Citizen Sleeper and I'm so in love with the game. Can't wait to start the sequel, although perhaps I need a little time to heal from the gut-wrenching decisions I had to make.
Incredible mis-en-scene and beautiful writing. I'm so inspired by it!

BUT WAIT. THERE'S MORE.
I was late to the last Bitsy Jam but it was a good motivator to make this one.
"I fell off my ship". On the meaning of nothingness.

What's this? Oh looks like I made another Bitsy???
"Sol 2134" or how intrinsic motivation makes the same repetitive tasks enjoyable.
Featuring... SOME MARS ROCKS

I've been playing #bitsy games regularly again. Honestly, 9 out of 10 times they are incredibly good: innovative, meaningful, emotional, memorable.
Here's two that I played recently and loved:

I had an idea for #hydra that didn't quite get there but I had lots of fun.
I wanted to make cells that seem to continuously divide by using a camera trick (zoom+scale). Instead, these divide and merge.
LMK if you have a solution!

It was a pleasure to have Chris at our AGM. I love how he frames the state of the games industry as an outrageous power imbalance and that he sees unionising as the best and only way to fix it.
Regardless of ideology, if you're an employee at the games industry, you're in a class struggle and the best way to defend and improve your livelihood is through collective action.
Must watch!

This is how trade unions do democracy: we share and learn about our collective power, discuss and vote motions, elect the Committee, and have a jolly good time together!
This year's AGM of the Game Workers is on June 8th, 1 to 3 pm in several locations.
Register here! :ablobfoxbongo:

So proud of this flyer we made at Game Workers for the Guildford Games Festival. Folks didn't know about the union, but were very happy to learn more :blobfoxhappy:
Also... the headlines on the left show how bad this industry can be, and on the right, how workers are taking collective action. That dynamic is so hard on us! We must unionise to prevent the abuse, not just react to it after the damage is done.
