I am thrilled to announce that UX and UI designer @menica is joining us to improve Godot and gamedev education!
The expertise of UX designers is unfortunately still often undervalued, so we will try to share her work and show you all the things an experienced designer sees that we often miss or don't even think about.
She will work on making educational content more accessible, interactive, and interesting.

ARTIST FRIENDS and FRIENDS OF ARTISTS:
I'm strongly against AI-art, and a SF zine who is publishing one of my stories has a need for HUMAN MADE ART (this is a paying gig), but the deadline is very tight on this. So I'm putting out my feelers to anyone who is an artist or knows someone interested in doing cover art for a SF magazine (deadline: May 28th).
Email me (susankayeq@gmail.com) for details. Thanks for sharing!
