As we usher in the holidays, let's indulge on a few games, shall we? Playing games can have various psychological effects on individuals. Here are some common effects: 1. Enhanced Cognitive Abilities: Many games require players to use strategic thinking, problem-solving skills, and quick decision-making. Regular engagement in such activities can contribute to cognitive development, including improved attention, memory, and spatial reasoning. 2. Social Connection: Multiplayer and online games facilitate social interactions, even in virtual environments. This can lead to a sense of community and social connection, reducing feelings of isolation and loneliness. 3. Learning and Skill Development: Educational games and simulation games can contribute to learning and skill development. Players may acquire new information, problem-solving techniques, or practical skills through interactive gameplay. So here's 9 words to puzzle your mind on everything in the digital assets space. 🦚 Whoever gets them all right, wins the game. 🕹 Bonus if you can give us the definitions. 😼 Let us know if what else you'd like us to feature for a game. #gaming #gamingcommunity #digitalassets

Well, what can I say about this topic? Officially, I have been in the #languageindustry for about 7 years. By "officially," I mean after finishing my bachelor's degree because before that, I was already doing small translations for peanuts (yes, it's true, sorry) on hiring platforms. After completing my studies, I decided to specialize in video game and SEO localization, which is pretty much what I have been doing all these years. However, more recently, I have been thinking about the article's topic a lot. I have been doing numerous searches on the topic and even considered making a degree in video game development (who knows). If you find yourself in the same boat, I recommend you take a look at this article written by the experienced Caio Tessarolo Uliana, who has written this masterpiece that brings us into a game development perspective. Don't expect to learn how to work with Unreal or how to design a level, sorry for that. However, you can expect to understand how the mechanisms work, which is crucial for building the base of your video game and, most importantly, for your community. Happy reading!

QA/LQA Analyst | Programmer | Game Designer | Localization Specialist | Unity C# | Unreal Blueprint & C | Indie Game Developer |
When Helder Costa and Wordfoxes asked me to write an article for aspiring #gamedevs, I took some time to consider the state of our industry. I was honoured that, after many years developing indie projects, I could talk about some of the rocky mind-roads I've been proudly hiking. Then I remembered recent great GDC talks, where indie legends discussed the importance of discoverability. It made me realize we're not hiking alone. We may be entering an era of discoverability and community, perhaps for all artforms. And we will also need a common vocabulary to share our experiences and find new ones. As of now, we rely on genres and tags, dispersed across multiple storefronts. But, even when these giant datapoints are thoroughly analysed, we see new trends emerging. New coop fads, board game mechanics rising and falling, roguelikes, cozy experiences. 💡 If I were starting off today as a game developer, I would definitely look at those classifications the industry calls "genres" to find my community and fellow enthusiasts of the gaming experience. And then, obviously, I would assess my own capacities to design and develop games that enrich the life of this community. Although I'm specializing in technical design and development feasibility (a newly found passion that merges creativity and practicality), I know our gaming community has greater aspirations and more dreams than I could fathom. So I hope that we can engage in this new age of discoverability, where players are able to find their preferred genres and experiences, sharing and discussing their favourites. And indie developers may have a headstart, as long as we keep innovative, agile, authorial and authentic!
