Heart of Neon

A microblog about a movie about a legendary video game designer. And about film in general. And digital culture. And the history of video games. And about other stuff too, probably.

Last call for indiedevs: I'm still looking for a few game developers to participate in the Heart of Neon Video Game Day event. Very low commitment in exchange for an opportunity to promote your work. Message me here if you want to find out more. #indiedev #documentary

2024-06-23 18:23:02

I'm hosting a livestream event on Video Game Day, July 8th 2024, on Youtube (and probably simulcast to Twitch) to celebrate the indiedev community. Jeff Minter's indiedev story is unique, and so are the stories of every indiedev. So let's share a few.
