If you loved a game but didn’t say anything, the algorithm assumes you didn’t care. Visibility isn’t just views — it’s interaction. Let ‘em know.

There is a bug in your game. If you don't find the bug during development, the testers will. If the testers don't find the bug, the reviewers will. If the reviewers don't find a bug, a prominent influencer/streamer will.

The Dames4Games Spring Showcase trailer just dropped and you can see Anca and some familiar creature legs very shortly hehehe cause GUESS WHAT WE'RE FEATURED! It was the first time we filmed an dev portrait format like this 🤞 So excited for all the dev interviews and game spotlights 😍

Not just an American issue obviously, despite how pronounced it is in the US. The huge imbalance of wealth and the exploit, abuse and existential dread of workers everywhere must end. What are we as humans freaking doing?

Not to alarm anyone 🥴

This is the kind of review you're asking for when you call your asset "tasty", I guess? 🤔😂 Anyway version 2.2.3 is out at tgs.symmetrybreak.com 🌿 #gamedev #vfx #shader #unity

Chris Zukowski published this chart in one of his recent blogs. It helped me really conceptualize how hard games are to get done. Our current model is small games, with deep gameplay loops -- and whacky mechanics. Make smaller games and MORE GAMES DEVS! #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev

Check this out, we're gonna be featured aaaa 🫠

A very weird little experiment for my first piece of 2025: “Beedle” 🪲 a sculptural mask made of gourds, driftwood, mountain laurel, paper clay, acrylics & gold leaf. Part of THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S CABINET group exhibition at Arch Enemy Arts! On display Jan 18-Feb 16

Misgiven is proudly part of The Storyteller's Festival 2025! 🥳 Celebrate this incredibly creative and varied lineup of narrative games on Steam, hosted by @twoandahalfstudios.com until Feb 25th! #TheStorytellersFestival #indiegames

We just received this "fan edit"... Now I'll never unhear it 💀 #misgiven #memes #gamedev

I am so, so tired. And I know you are, too. Here's “Death blowing bubbles,” 18th century. The bubbles symbolize life's fragility. This plaster work appears on the ceiling of Holy Grave Chapel in Michaelsberg Abbey, Bamberg, Germany. After the monastery’s dissolution, it became a hospital.

Yesterday marked our first time submitting an application to the Creative Europe Media: Video Games and Immersive Content Development fund. An ungodly amount of work over the last month for a new game concept 👀

We stan the melancholic malady that is Phoenix Springs

There's a petition to ban conversion practices (targeting LGBTQIA+ people) in the European Union. We need one million signatures, and we currently have 180,000+. If you live in Europe (even if you don't), spread the word ! 🌈🔥✊ eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

Steam's kidding with how tiny and low vis this is, right? Who can even see that this is a link and know that the demo page is open for public reviews if they're not already aware of this new feature? Oof hope they improve this soon 😅 #gamedev

After half a year of hesitation, we finally opened up the review page for Misgiven's demo (thank you so much @hedapark.bsky.social for the encouragement)! If you played it and felt it, support the game by leaving a public review ❤️ store.steampowered.com/app/2997040/... #indiegames #adventuregames

That insane rush when your exact target audience notices your game 😶 @hedapark.bsky.social thank you so so much for writing this, we've been absolutely floored to the point of not knowing how to respond ever since we saw it yesterday 😭 Yes they give lesbians in Misgiven, maybe even on purpose 🫢

2024 has sure been a crazy year for our studio! 😅 We wrote this post to sum up our highlights with our wip game Misgiven and our journey in general, as well as the challenges we faced along the way: symmetrybreak.com/en/2024/12/2... How did your experience in #gamedev compare this year?

2024 has been a hard year. Then this documentary drops & it absolutely WRECKED me. I talk to @writnelson.bsky.social a lot. We share war stories. But it’s VERY different to see the development to cancellation cycle laid out like this, with the team & their hopes & dreams. 🧵 youtu.be/69Ukg2BqIk0?...

Now that we've had a third #indiegamedemos showcase, we have enough devs for another starter pack! We'll be adding the new devs every week and we hope you'll enjoy their work as much as we did! go.bsky.app/MuPucWi #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

Misgiven is easy to overlook as just another nareative indie game, but behind that it hides new mechanics and a sci-fi story that you'll find difficult to let go of. Sadly the demo is pretty short, but it left us yearning for more. @symmetrybreak.bsky.social 👀 store.steampowered.com/app/2475620/...

Holiday season is upon us ✨ Join us right now for our first hangout stream on Twitch! We’ll be reflecting on 2024 and maybe even dropping new info & plans while we play @wildwoodsgame.bsky.social 👀 Come say hi, ask us stuff and celebrate another year with us at twitch.tv/ancastasia 🙌 #indiedev
