OH MY GOD WE’RE GETTING A KENA SEQUEL

I woke up, and *that* team still won gold in Ice Dance. BOOOO. Anyway, watch the Browns instead. No icks here. youtu.be/BE0my5WzgTU

Here's the thing: I love all the devs and teams that have reached out about Steam Next Fest, and I've been floored by the creativity and stories behind all your games so far. I'm not going to get around to covering everybody right away, for obvious reasons. (I'm just me, lol, for one.)

Hey @spectrerobin.bsky.social

Goblin Sushi, coming right up! twitch.tv/theindiegamecafe

Streaming tomorrow at 9am central! (Not sure if more Master Lemon or something else? I really want to play Goblin Sushi from @oldcakefactory.bsky.social but I'm not sure when it officially drops.) twitch.tv/theindiegamecafe

I'm not graphic designer, but I was inspired by @spectrerobin.bsky.social

Love watching the USA women kick ass at hockey.

A DEMO AND A RELEASE DATE?

Dosa Divas, a spicy narrative turn-based JRPG, launches on April 14 for PC, PS5, Xbox, Switch, and Switch 2. Demo is now available on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2950710/...

My apologies to anyone I’ve made fun of about Half Life 3. I started with my husband.

I'm happy for Guerrilla because they still exist and are making games but DANG IT NEMESIS IS STILL OUT THERE.

When I think I can't love @spellgardengames.com more, they come out with something like Thrifty Business. Go play the demo. It's lovely. store.steampowered.com/app/3693650/...

...downloads 12 demos on Steam and it's not event Next Fest time yet...

THIS LOOKS AMAZING.

I'm officially entering my "Witchbrook when?" era.

New blog post up on Steam talking about all the work that's going into getting the game ready to ship! store.steampowered.com/news/app/340...

Indie devs! I’m looking to play as much as I possibly can during #SteamNextFest at the end of the month. Let me know if you’re taking part, or better yet, will have a demo up before the event starts! (Drop a link, or my email is in my bio) Thank you ❤️ 😊

Today: @heavylunchco.bsky.social trusted me with Early Access to Hermit and Pig (out on the 5th). It's a heck of a good time, and the flexibility in combat options made me like turn-based combat. (And that's a feat!) www.the-indie-game-cafe.com/hermit-and-p...

The vibes spoke to me today. After I get the kiddo to school, I'm doing another playthrough of the Fishbowl demo (@imissmyfriends.bsky.social posted a dive into the latest trailer on Steam a few days ago) and following that up with Master Lemon! See y'all in a bit! www.twitch.tv/theindiegame...

Listen, you might think the title is clickbait, but it's not. I really, REALLY loved playing the Cursed Words demo. #indiegames #CursedWords youtu.be/xFGtdTsTsr0

We'll miss you, legend.

So, I might be breaking up with Balatro when Cursed Words comes out. Nothing against you, Jimbo, but AHHHHH. I recorded my first runthrough and it'll be up on YouTube today or tomorrow.

INDIE GAAAAAMES!

Very proud of this thumbnail. Just me, chillin with some future besties, playing the updated Tavern Talk Stories: Dreamwalker demo from @gentletrolldevs.bsky.social youtu.be/OmZz415BIWU

I always appreciate Mat's insights. (I just wish my Dog Food Man Boss and his circle would come to realize this is what's happening out there.)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

The demo did indeed change! I recorded a run through this morning and will have it up on YT before the end of the week.

Wait a dang minute there's a NEW demo for Tavern Talk Stories: Dreamwalker? @gentletrolldevs.bsky.social Also: Kickstarter! The original funding goal was SMASHED in an hour, but this studio is ambitious, and those stretch goals are oh-so-good. www.kickstarter.com/projects/gen...

I’m really looking to do things this year and branch out with Twitch, YouTube, and The Indie Game Cafe online, so I started a Ko-Fi. It’ll be evolving, but the bones are here. ko-fi.com/theindiegame...

I'm trying to edit my Trash Goblin stream from yesterday to put on YouTube but I can't get over how Minnesotan I sound saying Minnesota in the beginning. @netflix.com: I'm available for your upcoming hockey show set in MN, btw.

I really want to stress how much Bovino leaving means very little on the ground in #Minneapolis, reports of 10 ICE officers out of vehicles on the Greenway. We haven't won anything yet.

@lienpockets.bsky.social You'd left for your meeting but a Trash Goblin dev stopped by and noticed your post about Picross. The chiseling was indeed inspired by Picross 3D!

Mondays are for Trash Goblins? twitch.tv/theindiegamecafe

HELL YEAH!

It's a video? On a SUNDAY? lol. The kid who grew up playing Carmen Sandiego in the mid-90s had a lot of fun in this demo. (It's me. I'm that kid.) @agentepsilon.bsky.social youtu.be/kVu5wkkhRgw

I’m surprised he didn’t try to say something about personal responsibility because that’s the only thing North Dakota Republicans talk about. I’d say he should get the facts before he blows hot air but he’ll get the “facts” from cowboy Noem.

HERO.

I’m playing Cult of the Lamb again because it’s either that or go BATSHIT INSANE but damn I forgot how great this game is.

Question for anyone who has played Pinkeep: can you use a controller?

I may live across the river but Minnesota will always be home 💙💙💙💙

Hahaha

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

UND cancelled in-person classes today because of students walking between classes but GFPS won’t do online learning even though kids walk to school.

-45° out there. I'll let you guys know if the tree in front of my house explodes today 🤣

Gene's a legend and one of the best voices out there for games.

TR-49 from @inkle.co is why I love games. It's thoughtful, confident, and unafraid to ask players to slow down and engage. Their trust in the player’s curiosity and intelligence, paired with a delightfully tangled web, makes every identification feel earned rather than handed to you. (Link ⬇️ )

24 hours from now we will release the works of Pemberton, Kendrick, Silverton and the rest into the world. We have no idea what the consequences will be. We have every reason to believe that when this happened before, it was seismic. Good luck.
