@brocktoon.bsky.social has an excellent contribution to miniatures studies, and I never knew the colonial erasure in the name "mancala." AND we had a great time at the inaugural BIPOC in Gaming conference at @thestrongmuseum.bsky.social

I feel like if I just don't watch the last episode of Death by Lightning, James Garfield will never die.

math is probably my favorite metroidvania

The beauty of literature is that there's something out there for everyone. Everyone has different tastes/likes/preferences. You can't please everyone, and that's okay! For those of you out there who write: keep writing. ⚡️📚 📚💙 🌈📚

what do you want

Given current events, I think it's especially important to read books like @georgetakei.bsky.social 's powerful graphic memoir. Our family read it this week. I highly recommend everyone read the book. #booksky #remember #accuratehistorymatters #bannedbooks

This person on YouTube said I'm not too old to learn how to draw.

Player Elimination ( #nerdy #cozy #mystery) is available for pre-order. In the meantime, maybe you need some #boardgame recommendations! What games do you like to play with your besties? tulepublishing.com/books/player...

Your "dumb little projects" are so important during this harrowing time. Don't forget that. Your creativity has value, for yourself and for the world.

if you don't enjoy something about #gamedev compared to other things, it probably means its difficult and important work that is out of your comfort zone, and its an opportunity for growth. Also don't forget to write tools to make your life easier, especially when it speeds up the 'less fun things'

you look great today

What will high U.S. tariffs on China mean for the tabletop industry? What are publishers doing in response? And what will it all mean for board game designers? We reached out to U.S. publishers, and we've compiled their responses into a new industry report: cardboardedison.com/tariffs

An excellent and nuanced discussion of Blue Prince that comes very close, but more eloquently, to my feelings. A lot of people are talking about this game but few are doing so this carefully. A great read. #videogames #indiegames

My amazing spouse has an amazing book coming out this summer #boardgames #cozymystery #booksky with Tule Publishing. Every #flgs needs its own scooby gang! #games #books #cozy Check it out! Pre-order it! Yes they made damned sure the pips the on the #dice were properly oriented on the cover.

Such a high quality game. Fans of #roguelike #basebuilders should definitely look at Against the Storm.

A message from us openindies - Calling all #gamedev, #indiegamedev, #solodev creators, #indiegames and #podcast lovers!

This is such a lovely tribute to Val Kilmer from Hilarie Burton ❤️

Spruce Goose is annoyed that my laptop is on my lap when it should be solely dedicated to her. Also (the) Gnorp Analogue is very fun if you like idle / incremental games. #cats #incrementalgames #indiegames #felinediplomacy

Excited to try Flocking Hell... New turn-based #indie strategy #roguelite with #sheep!!! #indiegames #indiedev #game #PixelArt

Inspiration behind the Spotify playlist I made for my debut novel, Player Elimination. cozymysterycafe.com/books/player... 1) No Doubt's "Just a Girl" - My main character, Wren Winters, is tired of being bullied by her landlord and just wants to be left alone and do her thing. #relatable

Who likes Cribbage and is going to Unpub? Indiana and I have designed a little combo-building game we're calling Voyage, and we're so excited to playtest it with folks in Baltimore!

dotAGE was one of my favorite games of 2024. Strong analog analog worker placement aesthetic on a solid turn based roguelike base builder. Puzzly fun. Excited for the updates!

In my games class I've given my students a "pitching the non-Euclidean" assignment to brainstorm a game (analog or digital), or imagine modifying an existing one, to feature non-Euclidean elements, and then come up with a sales pitch and sell sheet for their game idea. #math #gamedev #education

Check it out! Okay, I got a liiiiitttle rambly (nervous!) - but I had such a great time chatting with @gamestudies.bsky.social about Magic!

My #synth plugin is out. (V0.95 public beta) Download directly from the #Godot asset library. Examples, usage and more info in the GitHub project page. If you like this project consider contributing to help make it the best platform for #procedural #music and #sfx in #videogames

For Godot newbies like me, Resources are ref-counted, but Nodes are not! So Nodes can cause memory leaks if not careful. Be sure to queue_free them when done. To help track, you can add print_orphan_nodes() at a good spot in your gameplay loop. #GodotEngine #GodotTips #IndieDev

Trying out Tang Garden for the first time. #boardgames fun tile placement+ with a lot going on.

I feel like nothing indicts me as a non-artist more than the fact that I find GIMP incredibly intuitive, and I can't for the life of me wrap my head around Krita.* But use the tools that work for you, right? #gamedev #godot #art #ImposterSyndrom *Dutifully ignoring the time it took to learn GIMP.

The hobby or passion project that you set aside loves you and will wait for you to be ready again. Whenever that is. #gamedev

Keep at it, people! Your work is inspiring!

Just updated my web site to include my latest releases. If you're interested, I have mini-designer diaries for each game! www.philwalkerharding.com

make art with your friends it'll keep you sane

Sharks in Spacesuits first available Alpha is now out on Itch It contain the main gameloop of the game and the first Boss. If you play the game let me know your feedback <3 missbarbare-games.itch.io/sharks-in-sp... #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #GodotEngine #godot

Take a moment and chill with some of this lovely music. Thank you @tottomori.bsky.social for sharing! #indie #music #chillvibes Something good to wake up to.

A good test for #Godot project scalability: Can you open your scenes and interact with their them without generating dependency errors? #gamedev #GodotTips #indiedev
