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?

The main trend we noticed was beards:

Rob of Retro Remakes

Rohan Harris

And stubble...

Jayenkai from A Game A Week
