Knowledge, industry professionals, amazing art! All swimming around in the wonderful world of Game Dev Twitter Putting yourself out there can be really intimidating, especially when you're still building up your work!
But that's WHY you need to put yourself out there

When you start off small it's important to focus on your own personal growth! It's easy being lost in the numbers, but it really effects how you feel
Social media is not a destination, but a journey! Follower counts doesn't equal fulfillment! find your own happiness

Focus on making friends, learning, and making work you are proud of! That will get you farther then any type of numbers game.
I see many accounts throw their work out there without interacting with others, its like an echo chamber!
Caring and engaging is a 2 way street

Now making friends on social media does not mean sliding into devs DMs
You CAN dm devs, but remember were all people! often times very BUSY people
Be kind. be respectful.
Commenting, interacting, its all a choice!
Be sure to engage with content/people you care about.

Alright! Presenting your Art/Work!!
PLEASE
MAKE A PINNED TWEET
Make sure it includes your PORTFOLIO, your EMAIL, and of course your work as an IMAGE/GIF.
Displaying your work clearly and making links easy makes it that much easier for employers to contact YOU

It's okay to want the twitter cropping to look good! half the time I use my private twitter to just test how the art looks!
Presentation matters a LOT on social media, I've always believed a good aesthetic will take you far! ANY post could snowball!
Gifs are MAJOR

I'll FIGHT ALL OF YOU about... PORTFOLIO DAY
portfolio day is not NEW ART DAY!! Its a day to share your work with the community!
A lot of us experience NDA, burnout, we have our own lives, our own reasons for our pace. So NEVER be ashamed of how 'quickly' make art.

I also mega recommend engaging in tags!! Both posting and looking at others work!
You never know how it will go, Some do incredible?? some do poorly. which is OKAY! Always shoot your shot!
Which includes retweeting your own art
but Courtney isn't that scummy?

Please be sure to ask for critique on pieces, especially specific crit!
A lot of times we can experience no response, but when specifying on maybe just the hair, or the colors, or having people vote! you can garner a lot more constructive feedback

MENTAL HEALTH!
Have fun with it!! Social Media is something to enjoy 1st, and a tool 2nd.
It can be very damaging if your self worth is tied to your following.
Remember your worth as a person, an artist is far greater then twitter. Take things at your own pace

Some stream, some post about AC, some just wanna engage with friends, some sh*t post! (especially folks with NDA)
Post art when you want to, NOT because you feel like you have to! We're all humans and especially now, we are all facing challenges outside of our control.

STOP PUTTING YOUR ART DOWN
Alls good and well in finding motivation in others work, but not at the cost of your own confidence in yours!
2017->2020
This isn't a race! there's no 'end' to your art journey
Be proud of how far you've come, Be excited for where you'll go

Remember you only have so much energy
I've gotten burned out on trying to be attentive to ALL my socials
SET LIMITS, you don't have to answer every dm/reply THAT minute
I'd rather have a genuine conversation then TY reply to every nice comment I got! so I take my time
