Since I haven't done a round of #introductions lately:

Hi! I'm Cidney. I used to be a web developer, then I decided that #gamedev was more fun and more ethical. I primarily work with Unity these days, but in my past lives I did interactive fiction.

Right now I work for Corey and Lori Cole, the creators of Quest for Glory. During the project I was diagnosed with #EDS and suffered a spinal cord injury after a car accident. I can walk again, so it's an invisible #disability.

GamaSutra published a #postmortem I wrote about the 5-year development process for Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption. It's been a long and tiring journey. :)

Has someone made this a gamejam theme yet?

Creators: what are the pros and cons of posting *opinions* on social media, vs. letting your work speak for itself?

Cool interview about the game I'm working on with @MoeGamer@twitter.com.

The #SummerDazeGame Kickstarter finished this week and was funded, including two stretch goals (and likely a third!). I'm floored and relieved. Thanks to everyone here who supported it!

Summer Daze Kickstarter funded! It closes in an hour; we're $5000 away from the third stretch goal (professional voice direction).

I haven't been talking much about this, but the game I've been working on, Summer Daze at Hero-U, is nearing the end of its Kickstarter, and very close to the voice acting stretch goal!

Working on an action-y game after spending so much time on narrative/adventure games feels oddly refreshing.

I used to think that @krita just for drawing and painting. Turns out it's also incredibly useful for graphic design, including those pesky Steam capsule images. #gamedev #artwithopensource

Quest for Glory: Shadows of Darkness livestream with the designers starts in an hour.

My SO and I were delegates to the Florida Democratic Convention a couple weeks ago and the way resolutions were handled was... bad.

(Plus the price gauging from the convention center and the way delegates who could not afford rooms were treated.)

This take is fairly relatable.

Prototyping something a bit different than usual. #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

...I have never been a fan of Valve, but the poor tools/documentation needed to upload builds to Steam is just unfair.
