To celebrate Enshrined's release, we've got a special piece by my dear friend @zarahartist.bsky.social... BECAUSE THE GAME IS OUT NOW!! Buckle up, it's time for some acknowledgments and EMOTIONS!!! BUT FIRST, THE GAME IS AVAILABLE HERE NOW: store.steampowered.com/app/3835610/...

We are recruiting game makers affected by the 'NSFW' policy changes on Steam and itch.io for a survey. This survey is part of a broader project on the factors that shape the production, distribution, and consumption of porn games. More info about the project and survey at www.pppproject.com

Hi there!!!! I am looking to talk to super fans of Love and Deepspace for a very fun article I'm writing for GameSpot. If this is you and you'd be down to answer a few questions via DMs please get in touch!! ❤️❤️‍🔥😍💜💙✨💖

Birthday boy’s got zoomies 🦊🎉 Let’s give Vere all the ear scratches and head pats he wants! 🫳

Hey all you gamers claiming to "want shorter games made by fewer people who are paid more to work less" here's your chance to put your $15 where your mouth is: a spooky & elegiac exploration game made by ex-Bethesda & Ubi devs. It's excellent. Buy it & prove there's a market for games like this!

Happy Halloween! 👻 enjoy demon Kuras’s tricks 🦇🍷 and cupid Leander’s treats 💘🍬

we’re hiring at sunset visitor!! YIPPEEEEE i will be sitting in the interviews — excited to meet our applicants!! if you have any questions, feel free to DM :)

Here it is!! So happy to finally be able to share that #codename BFR (or best friends race) is in fact Enshrined: Sword of Fates! 💕 your fate lies in the hands of one of the three worst men you’ve ever met… which one will it be? 👀🗡️

I haven’t seen a lot of cis people I usually see pushing for calls, etc. doing so about these rules provisions, which would devastate trans people nationally. Calls need to be made to all electeds and a firm stance taken ASAP, with ten times the fervor of the Kimmel/D+ event

382 lovely indie games for $8! All proceeds support UNRWA USA’s humanitarian aid in Palestine. ♥️🖤🤍💚

You can "honor" Kirk's memory by doing the thing he'd hate and donating to an organization that wants to help low-income trans adults receive gender affirming care: www.transincomeproject.org/donate (also read my interview with TIPs executive director in the original post)

one time I accidentally shreked Leander

thank you everyone who came to hear us talk 🥹 it was so wonderful getting to meet so many of y’all

Hey hey, I'm gonna be on this panel too! :^) come learn about creating VNs with some of my favorite folks!!! ( @disrevel.bsky.social @arden.rip @overquailified.bsky.social )

Leaf mentioned in the official itch discord server that the open case they have with Stripe right now is probably the most critical right now. Submit a complaint to Stripe here: stripe.com/legal/compla... Need to know what to say? Use this: bsky.app/profile/void... #itch #censorship

Good morning! I'm sitting down to make a bunch of calls before starting work for the day. Please do the same! This has to be sustained pressure, not just one day. This thread and the document within it are great resources if you need a script or numbers to call / places to email, as is yellat.money

Oooo you want to pet his ears, ooooo you want to pet his ears so bad

I just know Ais’s Urgent Care bill is insane

A 2025 goal is to earn out on one of my indie projects - If It Please the Court - and I'm not far from doing so! If you'd like me to experience the joy of royalties, you can pick up my lesbian historical RPG and be a trans or enby spy (or a cis one, even!) store.steampowered.com/app/1385260/...

We're almost 90% to the goal for @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social's Dreams on a Pillow - a game about Palestine, made by a Palestinian, literally risking his life under violent apartheid to make this game and tell this suppressed story. 8 days left. Please help him out. launchgood.com/1948

[Reskeets appreciated!✨] Hi! I'm doing a short survey for my GDC talk about how Queerness is perceived in games - this survey is open to ALL players and should take you under 10 minutes to fill out! Thank you for your time and reply to me with any questions! (Link in reply!) 🌈

lmao so uh. no easy way to say this but i just got laid off from hoyoverse (genshin)!!! i’ll make a formal job post later but if you know anyone hiring a writer/editor in games… think of me maybe? 👉👈

My primary craft advice for video game writing is actually to study every other kind of writing. Things I’ve written for games: live action scripts, poems, slugs, taglines, screenplay-style cutscenes, in-universe metafiction, songs, weapon and company names, barks, mottos, and so forth.

😎✨ now on bsky 💕

Just Leander 🙂

still mourning the first 10 attempts at this caption that were rejected for being too lewd

some cherries :3 #artpost #cherry

The romance/rivalmance system in da 2 was so advanced. A game that dared to acknowledge the common emotion “god I fucking hate this person but would, tbh”

Odessa was a little confused 😆 #TouchstarvedGame
