Hi folks, my name is Pedro and i am trying to change my role as UX designer to pursue ma passion and focus on Game Design. Im really passionate about the subject and started to release some articles in my medium, this is the first one:

I hope you like it and feel free to contact me so we can collaborate, talk about, be friends, etc... Have a nice week!

https://pedrovdesign.medium.com/game-patterns-emerging-challenges-and-biased-thoughts-2e0c8a95d0d0


Ps: Sorry if this is not the proper place for doin this.

If you've set yourself as both a player and game developer, it's possible to make blog posts, and then place links to those posts on your profile page.

In this case, you can post your writing on medium as the link.

Try https://itch.io/user/settings 

And yes, you can absolutely customise it with CSS. But you'll need permission from the itch moderation team to do so.


As for your writing, I'm not too sure I actually understood your intent.


Thank you for sharing this information! It's good to know that I can write blog posts and link them to my itch.io profile page. I am using Medium as a platform to host these posts.

Also thank you very much for reading the text. The main purpose was talk about patterns and using people biases to build challenge in games, while making a parallel between the real life and the fictional world of games. 

It got a little too verbose and too big, gotta be honest. I'll try to be more concise in the next ones. 

It does sound like you have a lot of passion about design!

I have some interest in it too. Well, enough to know why the font Hellvetica is a massive trolling.

If I'd give some advice about writing topics, it might be to focus on a situation or problem that you see others suffering with and focus solely on that for that piece. Talking about and even mixing the various flavours of attributes and components of the problem domain.

It's aways good to meet other designers that share the same passion. I love your tips, gotta be honest, it's not easy to know the topics other designers are suffering, specially when you dont know the community so well (wich is my case). But people like you that take time to answer to poor mortals like me are the ones that make the difference!

And yeah, helvetica is aways there for us to know what not to do! hahahah! 

Have a wonderful weekend.

I do love it when people get together and share what inspires them!

Also for the record,  I wasn't refering to Helvetica (which is good enough of a font). I was meaning the following 'delightful' kerning gift to the world: https://web.archive.org/web/20200113233016/https://hellveticafont.com/ (Sourced from archive dot org because the website has been taken over by a malicious scammer)

Sorry, i've confused myself with Comic Sans. Helvetica is indeed a good family.

Hello! I'm Ryan, I'm looking to organize some talent for an upcoming jam or two. The goal for me is to establish a solid team willing to embark on an indie passion project. I like your article and writing voice, so if you're interested let's connect! I'd love to hear about what stories or designs you're cooking up. Thanks!
