If you're in the game industry and use LinkedIn, please do me a favor and share my post about Sentona Games screwing me out of money I'm owed. Thank you

my studio’s game is still in a weird limbo
state of needing a lot of foundational work while also resonating extremely hard with everyone i show it to and i can’t wait to get it to match my own expectations

i’m more a β€œthrow the clean clothes on top of my drawer into a suitcase and call it a day” type but i don’t think one or the other is normal, they’re just ways of being

In 2019, I created #WhatAGameDevLooksLike after I was stopped by security 3(!!) times while picking up my speaker badge. I’m a small Asian woman with pink hair, and I guess I didn’t visually meet their expectations of a speaker.

Ironically, I was at GDC to speak about inclusive studio cultures. 🫠

this is all so some rich asshole can profit from rebuilding the shit they bomb. the incentives only exist because they need the number to keep going up at all costs. they’ve rejected their humanity at the altar of capital and innocent people die for their hubris. just awful.

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

Creepy interior of a grungy, dark convenience store with a fluorescent light above. There is a red and green checkerboard pattern on the floor and red and green stripes across the ceiling. A creepy man in a black suit wearing a hat stands waiting at a window in front of the store. There are shelves on either side, and a cash register and clock in the front.

The back of the store, with a toilet, a machine labeled "incinerator" and a computer screen. There is a door locked with 3 large bars.

Close up of the front of the store. There is a man with no skin waiting at the window. On the counter is a bell with a red button. On the wall is a clock that reads 00:00, on the wall next to it is a poster that says "DO NOT SERVE" with a picture of a creepy monster with a large mouth and many teeth.

remember: Rich freaks invented every single problem we have

- Climate crisis despite available green energy
- Companies shuttered despite making profit and everyone doing good work
- Immigrants deported despite laws and decency
- Trans people persecuted despite never doing a god damn thing

Title: Game Funding: Lessons from Outersloth
Description: What's it like funding games? This talk will go over the stats, learnings, and reflections on starting and running Outersloth, an indie game fund created from the success of the game Among Us. Starting in 2022, it has successfully funded 20+ games of varying genres. See what happens behind-the-scenes when you submit a game, insight into self-publishing, and a call for more game funds to exist (or at least, for publishers to give better support.) This is NOT a talk about how to perfectly pitch a game or self-publish as an indie - it is a transparent reveal of the journey behind running a games fund, insights we've gained from submissions, and why self-publishing has become more important than ever.
