It's a tug-of-war between irresistible excitement and soft affection.

Obviously, I was at @Official_GDC #altctrlgdc and interviewed the #altctrl #gamedevs there. This will be the next MechBird video. See below JETCola by @yasuhiro_chida / @Tamakotronica as a teaser 👁️👽🕹️
@MakeCtrl made an incredible job, documenting all the games on their account!

由於年初跳過了兩個月的分享會舉辦，因此在 #GDC24 結束當下，我們將 4 月份的分享會提早到 4/7 舉辦（五月後會回到月底）；一起來看看今年 #EGW 跟 #altctrlGDC 的一些作品吧！

1 to this. Last year, we had a jam making alternative controller games, and multiple student teams went to show their creations at AltCtrlGDC. It was a very positive experience for them, and well worth making some accommodations in the affected classes. #GameDev is adaptability!

I’d just like to say as someone who teaches game stuff - in the year 2023 I would 100% tell any of my students to do the Japan thing
