Proud of Games at Northeastern GSND alumni Nabil Oueida, Srinivas Teja Bhattar and Kito, who've been pouring what they learned into their indie game "The Box is Alive".

Funny to see people being surprised at @AARP being at #GDC23, but the reality is that the 50 year-old market is enormous and eager to play your game. (Yes, that one.)
If that is news to you, you should attend the free AARP Game Summit on 4/18: lnkd.in/eSxV4wq7.

I am not paying to keep my verified status. If that means less spam bots adding me to their spam messages, then that is just the price I will have to pay.
