I really love Signs of the Sojourner. Just the core conceit resonates: that life experiences can change the way you talk/think about the world in ways that can both connect and alienate you from other people, that growing as a person sometimes means changing your relationships with others.

there’s a lot of rly good lines in ffxiv but this has always been my favorite

Ghosties on tour! Hope to see you at my summer events! 🥹👻🩵☀️🕶️

@jasky.bsky.social this is actually the original version which bsky bots gonna autoprude in 3....2.... (I tend to repost the covered version cuz the jumpsuit is cool and it doesn't trigger labels)

Artists! Show your range!

Really good interview IMO. I nodded vigorously in agreement with Thomson here in particular, on the virtues of letting games go before we exhaust them of content completely: “I think that one of the things that games are great at is living large in our imaginations.”

I know it's gauche to quote tolkien but genuinely the most interesting thing in his letters to me is this one from 1963 wherein he laid out in very plain terms what I think is THE fundamental thing that makes so much art have a life in your head beyond what you see on a page or play in a game

The friendgroup is settling in to finish up Record of Lodos War today and it's just like man... every second you pause there's such lush scenery or pretty elves or whatever sooo sooo beautiful

good tweet

packing up to move and googling the important questions before ordering dinner

as always, you have time for one earnest answer 🌙 can someone else please play titanium court? i urgently need to discuss this game with people

I'm hosting a hope-building event that starts on Friday and last about 2 weeks! The goal is to get people together (like YOU) to take actions that make the world a better place, no matter how small that action is. Details here: lemonpoppyseed.games/hope-quest

This was from when Charlie Kirk was shot and we were supposed to pretend gun violence was newly shocking because it affected someone who was supposed to be exempt from it. Some of our Elite Journalists are doing the same routine now.

sometimes i miss lore from the simpler days

you just lost my respect my guy #antiai

If you're a jr. sound designer & are interested in working on a narrative-driven RPG, I know of a studio looking for someone. Most of the game's sounds have already been made, and the team now needs someone to help them cross the finish line (there are ~75 sounds left to make). (1/2)

fuck sam altman forever for taking away the last places where we could engage in good faith: the creative arts, which should be a testament to human ingenuity. i am so mad that everything i read or listen to or admire is now tainted with doubt. do you understand? he is a thief of joy and i HATE HIM

a rare void blossom 🐈‍⬛🌸

I think I'm done ... I didn't expect to come this far, so I didn't have a plan this far ahead, but I suppose it's a good style study of the game Marvel Cosmic Invasion! I'm very happy with how it turned out for a small weekend project #PixelArt #Animation #ドット絵 #Animation #Aseprite

Everytime you think "ah finally, a good use for AI", you should step back and realize that such a response is exactly the kind of wedge corpos are trying to drive between laborers Everyone's expertise and craft is "finally a good use for AI" to those outside the field. Learn solidarity please

Inconvenience? I just had to dig seven pages deep to find the unsubscribe for one of the four TV subscriptions I need, I'm measured & optimized against in my supermarket, lamps, music, games, and travel. Every service I love gets enshittified to buy billionaires yachts worth 100 times my house.

the 'gayming' awards giving a noted virulent racist right-winger is a great fit in that the gayming awards have always been a joke with a very evident total lack of connection to the queer game industry

I had the opportunity to hear Alyx talk about her story and show her game at a conference last year. I still think about it. Please watch the trailer and wishlist the game on Steam. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMzC... store.steampowered.com/app/2288520/...

Man Who Threw Molotov Cocktail At Sam Altman’s Home Claims He Was Following ChatGPT Recipe For Risotto https://theonion.com/man-who-threw-molotov-cocktail-at-sam-altmans-home-claims-he-was-following-chatgpt-recipe-for-risotto/

Feels poignant.

Love low poly pigeon

I don't think we talk enough about the effect of art on us. I can see one drawing I really really like and I'll be happy for the rest of the day I'm not exaggerating. Your art makes someone feel that way. Your art makes someone happy. Your art helps someone get through the day.

okay so Austin Wintory did the House of Hikmah soundtrack and it's very lovely! it has lots of interesting traditional instruments and microtonality, without the hokey Western trope of using the double harmonic major scale! austinwintory.bandcamp.com/album/the-ho...

@hlywa.bsky.social is a fount of knowledge. We spoke about: - Pitch decks - Publisher support beyond funding - Vertical slices - Finding a publisher & outreach - Getting familiar with publishing contracts Indie game devs, I hope you find this one valuable 🖤

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

Fool of the web, King of nothing. A concept that came to me when my internet dropped, and images on a website refused to load ... and ye, my brain just kinda hyperfixated on the concept of the broken image icon. #art #illust #doodle #rkgk

hello, good evening, my name is chen chen, i’m a poet, and you may know me from such poems as this, “i love you to the moon &”

If you've played the House of Hikmah, the beautiful Arab-made narrative platformer about the grief of losing a parent - please do leave a review. It's really hard to make bespoke human games like this in 2026, and the team really gave it their all. store.steampowered.com/app/3451680/...

I need people to know that the photos of colourful moon are not from Artemis II. They were made by a Ukrainian photographer, who enhanced the colours of the moon's surface to represent its mineral composition. I can't stand to see an individual work be misattributed and misrepresented like this.

She was too beautiful not to draw 🌕💕 Color study based on the moon photo by Ildar Ibatullin

Capture ON... 2! 💕

And this beautiful game on grief is out now! If you want to support Arab-made work about the Arab world, history, arts, and culture -especially in a time of destruction and erasure towards our people- I cannot recommend this game more. store.steampowered.com/app/3451680/...

Sure the contraption that got us to the moon was cool but have you seen

I've wished for Arab-made games about Arab mythology for so long, and despite assisting on the project I still can't believe there's one swinging for the fences this hard. House of Hikmah is something very needed in a time where the world would rather erase us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZTu...

fromsoft game narrative discourse often misses how the words are very good. item descriptions blah blah yeah sure. but "all things flourish, whether graceful or malign" is very good words

This is my trans agenda

one of my most popular designs

Happy #TransDayOfVisibility! Please spare some visibility to UNSIGHTED! Made by two Latina trans devs: me + @ironfairy.bsky.social Top-down metroidvania focused on sequence breaking, speedrunning, and a queer plot Out now on all major platforms: store.steampowered.com/app/1062110/... #indiegame

In the spirit of trans visibility, lemme just plug my ongoing project to document as many pre-2010 games as possible that had a trans person on the dev team. You might be surprised by what's on there. There's games going right back to the sixties! dotmaetrix.neocities.org/classictranslist
