I'm looking for a streamer who is open to recording a Let's Play style video of my indie roguelike game which I can use in marketing (paid although I do not have much money!). Where do I find somebody like that? (pls 📈📈📈boost📈📈📈 so this little post can find streamers!)

I turned my apartment into an escape room that only my friends can play. It ended up being an important lesson in art, creativity, and companionship. 

The video on YouTube breaks down the idea, process and technology, gameplay and narrative, and lessons learned. Please share! youtu.be/ISbamI5ODNQ

I think it is important to understand that while the regime is very dangerous, you must always, always, always keep in mind that they are also incredibly bad at their jobs. Like wildly, inestimably bad at them.

My tepid take for the day: There aren't nearly enough puppets/animatronics/practical effects being used in media nowadays.

constantly thinking about this ominous sticky note drawing i saw in a boba shop

I’m also seeing a big swing towards investors seeking out promising solo developers in this time. Even if you find your unicorn, the idea that a single person (who has probably never shipped a game before) is going to produce your product reliably and on time, by themselves, is a WILD concept.

Greeted my hotel roomie @marymck.bsky.social this morning by running out of the bathroom while shouting “HEY WHATS UP I’M JOHNNY KNOXVILLE AND THIS IS INSATIONABLE CUCLE”

What could be better for a Monday morning than a marketing talk? Come hang with us tomorrow and learn about marketing/game festivals! I’m not usually a morning person (or a Monday person) so it could get… interesting.

Publisher bizdev people at events like GDC and Dice trying to sign "the next balatro" should realize that, statistically, the developer of "the next Balatro" you need to be talking to isn't at GDC or Dice talking to bizdev guys seeking 2m+ in funding

SECRET PROJECT REVEAL! Introducing my latest project, "Play With Your Own Junk" — a collection of earth-friendly party games that you can play with stuff you already own. Think of it sort of like a recipe website, but for games. playwithyourownjunk.com

As someone who runs this brand of indie studio and managed to ship a console game, it’s possible but you will pay with time what you can’t pay in money. And sustaining any sort of team over that period of time with little to no resources takes a larger emotional toll than most people realize

It’s 2025, I have no patience for people mindlessly fearposting. I’m not keeping my head in the sand, I’m staying aware enough to act when I need to, and I also don’t have the nervous system leeway to let a random “we’re fucked” tweet send me into an anxiety spiral. Take that elsewhere.

btw if you've never read Roger Ebert's review of The Mummy it's so good it changed me as a person

I have slots for Pax Unplugged! If you're a newbie game designer looking for insight into Mass Market publishers, need a playtester, need advice on breaking into the industry. I want to prioritize poc, disabled, and lgbtqia folks. calendly.com/marygeorgesc...

oh well I made the experimental game dev starter pack. blsky was really stressing when I tried to search to add more people so please @ me for more people to add go.bsky.app/CWmf15W

Worked on a project over the last week to channel my nervous energy before and wild grief after this election. It’s a strange comfort knowing the only thing I can control is myself and the work I create. Especially while it feels like everything is crumbling.

I like to think I’m not dramatic, but I just had to bootcamp into windows for work and said out loud “How do people live like this?!?”

Had a great week at GDC remembering why I want to make games. But very ready to get home and sleep. Catch ya next year San Francisco!

Just fished My Best Friend’s Exorcism tonight and if you’re into horror definitely recommend! Just don’t make the mistake I did and follow it up by watching the Amazon movie adaptation. Don’t know that I have ever had such media whiplash

The existential dread of creating short form vertical content is too much for her kitty heart

We finally announced a launch date for BattleCakes on Steam! I am both so excited and absolutely horrified with how quickly the next three months are going to go
