Haven’t finished it yet; but I really enjoyed my time with Shadowhand awhile back; highly recommended if you like card games, and at this price great opportunity to give it a try!

Looking to chat with a few individuals in education about game jams and game jam technology. Grounding in instructional design, learning theories, or learning science would be great/preferred. #edtech #gamejam #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #highered

#gamedev you know how on TVs and 4k monitors gamers complain about not being able to read your text?
increasing font sizes is great.
another trick is to use Hyperlegible, a new font DESIGNED to be readable when too small! #accessibility

I was hacked a week ago on Discord, I was convinced by the scam. Thinking it was legit.
I want to share my experience and raise awareness for Discord users and game devs alike.
SCAM: "Can you try out my game?" (Advanced level)

Want to support #indiegames and their developers in a great way for free? Write a Steam review on the games you already own and like.
It helps so much.

I know most of you aren't game developers, but for smaller indie games there is no greater gift you can give a developer (apart from buying their game!) than leaving a positive review on Steam. If you liked a game, drop a positive review. It adds up. #gamedev #indiedev

Happy Holidays! For anyone that hasn't gotten a chance to play it, Culina is currently 50% off for the Steam Holiday Sale! store.steampowered.com/app/3…
This is the lowest price the game has ever been so would be a great time to grab it. ;-)
