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
