Most Wanted!? What could be coming...⬇️ Ope...I can't say just yet! What our marketing team has told me I can say is "we're thrilled to announce that we'll be part of the PC Gaming Showcase on December 5th." Lame. I guess you'll only know by watching the show in two weeks.

Huge thank you to Ben Kvalo and Wisconsin Games Alliance for putting on a massive MDEV this year. What a crazy amount of growth in one year. The highest of high fives to the Midwest Games team for showcasing Floor is…What!? at their booth near the main stage! I’m looking at you Chris Klimecky, Jennifer Corbett, Kristen Lambert, Jasmine Sanghani, Ryan Greenberg, and Rebecca Denney 🔜 MDEV! Also, thank you for not making me do any TikTok dances for social media Jas 😆 Hat tap to Patrick Jesseman and his sons for creating some awesome graphic and motion packages to showcase sponsors and games throughout the venue and on the main stage. We had an amazing turnout for our UI/UX panel; almost a full room! Time flew by. Thank you to my amazing co-stars Kat Craig 🔜 MDEV, Forest S., Nick Heindl , and our glorious moderator Brian Pelletier 🙏 I finally had the opportunity to meet Whitney Kluttz in person too! We worked together on Floor is…What!? for 8 months earlier this year. 🔥 So glad you could make it and hope you made some great connections! It was great to see some familiar faces from last year and to meet digital friends IRL (hey Greg Posner 👋). If I didn’t get a chance to say hello or you have UI/UX questions from the talk, or want to chat in general, reach out any time. Seriously. I already have an idea for a new talk… See you next year 🫡
#mdev and networking are a fantastic combo! getting to meet podcast guests in person and seeing what they are building is an awesome experience! much love to Patrick Jesseman and Joshua Garity 🔜 MDEV for sharing their stories and everything they do! be sure to check out The floor is what and 217!

🎮 How do you localize a musical universe? The Lullaby of Life shows us how! Even with minimal text, the game brought together players from across the globe. Thoughtful localization—like the transcreation of titles and adaptation of key elements—allowed this melodic adventure to resonate with players the world over. If all this sounds fascinating to you, dive into our blog to learn more! https://lnkd.in/dE-kGBUD #GameLocalization #TheLullabyOfLife #Transcreation #GlobalGaming
