My black and white outfits for the Game Developers Conference aka GDC 2025! Let me know if you spotted me this year!
What a week it’s been! I’ve made a lot of new friends and finally got to meet internet buddies in person, and got to talk to a lot of people I've admired from afar. So many people complimented Sugarplum Cafe’s art when I showed them, and I even got some people to playtest Sugarplum Cafe, including some of the Among Us devs?? Who recognized me from my high fashion Among Us fanart and said they couldn’t stop playing my game????? Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

A practical look at how we run our studio KO_OP Mode at our current scale. Caveat: KO_OP is still a legally a corporation structured as a co
KO_OP's studio director Saleem Dabbous recently shared his presentation about game making cooperatives for the Game Developers Conference (GDC).
Here's my GDC presentation on how @KOOPMode is structured and operated as a ~20 person cooperative! Please let me know if you have any thoughts or questions [x]
if you check this out and think "wow that seems insanely risky fuck that" let me introduce you to every company ever. nothing about the coop structure is more risky than a normal company but a lot of it is more equitable. [x]
coops don't inherently solve any of the risk or privilege required to survive in capitalism. They are another tool to empower workers to own their labour and be more directly in control of their work and to share in the profits of that✌️ [x]
Bandai Japan Heads to GDC2023 for ‘Tamagotchi Classic Game Postmortem’ Session
You heard that right! Bandai will be making a splash at the GDC2023, which is the Game Developer Conference. The Game Developers Conference (GDC) brings the game development community together to exchange ideas, solve problems, and shape the future of the industry. Attendees include programmers, artists, producers, game designers, audio professionals, and business leaders.
Bandai will be attending the first ever “postmortem session” titled “Classic Game Postmortem: Tamagotchi”, a session that will walk through the history of Tamagotchi with Nobuhiko Momoi, the Director and CTO (Chief Tamagotchi Officer) at Bandai, sharing the core of the original virtual pet's success and what's been done to keep the toy relevant for almost three decades. Nobuhiko Momoi may even share where Tamagotchi is heading into the future.
“In this session, take a walk through history and learn about what was at the core of the original virtual pet’s success, what Bandai has changed about Tamagotchi to keep it fresh and relevant, and what has been kept the same to maintain brand awareness. You may even get an insight into where Tamagotchi is heading into the future.”
Attendees will uncover insights into what the Tamagotchi development team focused on to turn a piece of hardware that was designed to sit in the palm of your hand, into a real living pet that captured the heart of its owners.
GDC says this is a must-see session and is available for All Access Pass, and Core Pass attendees. GDC 2023 tickets are still available on their website if you’re looking to attend. Hosted at the iconic Moscone Center in San Francisco, California from March 20th, through March 24th, 2023. How amazing would it be to meet the Chief Tamagotchi Officer?
Professor Mike Sellers, 29 June 1961 - 27 June 2022
We have been so touched by the outpouring of love and sympathy in the days since Mike Sellers’s passing. As we deal with the immediate needs and plan for a memorial service in the coming months, we want to ask that, instead of sending flowers or cards, all of you who knew and loved Mike please email any photos and/or stories you have of him to [email protected] so that we can collect as many memories of him as possible. All photos of Mike are welcome, on his own or with others, and the stories may be humorous, uplifting, or meaningful in any way. If possible, please include date and location info, as well as any other context. We are planning to include these at the upcoming memorial so that we can truly celebrate the fullness of Mike’s life, but if you would like your stories or photos to be kept private or be presented anonymously, please let us know.
In honor of his many years of teaching and leadership, the Sellers family has established the Mike Sellers Memorial Fund through the IU Foundation, to benefit the students of the Game Design program Mike helped found at Indiana University. The endowment will assist in sending IU students to the Game Developers Conference every year, continuing Mike's tradition of mentoring the next generation of game creators.
To help us reach the goal of raising $25,000, donations can be made by sending a check to the IU Foundation with "Media School/Mike Sellers Memorial Fund" in the memo line, or by making an online gift here: https://www.myiu.org/one-time-gift?sc=AG21GANIUFO1GNWETF25M and noting "Media School/Mike Sellers Memorial Fund" in the "write in gift area" box. Donations of any size are welcome. Please share the information about the Memorial Fund with all those who knew and loved Mike.
