The best of #whatdoesagamedesignerlooklike

At 9:45 PM last night, Eastern Standard Time, the game developer Robin Hunicke – she of Journey fame – tweeted a picture of herself with the query: what does a game designer look like? You know the rest: a hashtag was born and a flood of game designers started snapping selfshots! So, what DO game designers look like?

The main trend we noticed was beards:

Rob of Retro Remakes

Rohan Harris

And stubble…

Jayenkai from A Game A Week

And sideburns…

Also, disguises:
