Support Resources for Challenging Times
20 Jan 2021While we were all excited to leave the troubles and conflicts from 2020 behind us, 2021 has not started so smoothly. Not only have we seen COVID-19 cases rise, but also great political turmoil within the United States.
Many game developers, both within the US and from countries across the world, have expressed feeling anxiety, stress, anger, and other negative feelings.
It’s okay to not be okay.
And we have gathered some resources for you to help you through these challenging times.
