Game developer Robin Hunicke is appearing as a guest judge on Bravo’s “Project Runway” next week, she confirmed on twitter recently.

“Cat’s out of the bag!” she said in response to a games editor who posted about her appearance. “Next week, I will appear on @BravoTV as a guest judge on the fabulous #ProjectRunway — with a couple of other amazing ladies of gaming to boot!”
