Why don’t we teach psychology undergrads to code, the way we teach physics undergrads to code? http://neuroplausible.com/programming?

Congratulations to Nikki Fried! Florida managed to preserve its "one Democrat in a statewide office" exception.

Andrew Gillum, Nikki Fried, and Bill Nelson are all within the margin needed for a recount.

“Florida Senate race between Nelson, Scott headed toward recount.”

More good news: Florida Amendment 4 passed.

Good news: Kenny Johnson, 27-year-old Democrat running for City Council, just won! He totally deserves this.

Um, no, GoG, whether or not trans people have the right to exist is not “ongoing social debate”. Not okay.

Now is a great time to pick up a copy of my game! We’re running a 35% off sale on GoG all week. It’s the spiritual sequel to Quest for Glory, with shades of Harry Potter and school simulation.

Animated movie where Laika (the first dog in space) survives and goes on and has adventures. Totally ahistorical and adorable. Watch the trailer here

“There’s not enough videogames; everyone should be encouraged to make them (or, videogames are just art).”

Probably not going to import all of my old posts from Mastodon; just enough to test out links and images.

WIP of the School Store for the upcoming visual novel prequel to Hero-U. This room is soooo much lighter and prettier in 2D than it was in 3D.

The second patch for Hero-U is currently available in the beta channel for Steam players:

Ink just published a new writing tutorial aimed at writers rather than programmers! The programmer-oriented one is still on Github.

Reminder that there’s a GoFundMe for Patricia Pizer (game developer at Infocom, Turbine, Harmonix, Disney) for medical expenses following her assault. She’s doing better, but her spinal fusions were damaged, and this can be really bad news.

Just a reminder that it’s great that the Mastodon community is much less toxic than Twitter, but folks were just as excited when Tumblr was new. There are fascists on Diaspora and Minds.com. Decentralization doesn’t cure hate.

Solid Hero-U review from RPG Codex. And yes, you can attack the gazebo.

Happy that we released on GoG before Steam.
