Post something beautiful to combat the awful.

By the way this IGF Excellence in Narrative nominated writer (twice!) is still looking for work in 2026 👋

Beginning the new year in groove: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT4l... The world is a mess, and it's hard to hope, but I wish you the best anyway. We all deserve peace ✨

This is how Fairyland looks during these holidays (and yes, Fairyland is real and its in the West of Sweden <3. My game The Merry Fairy is a magical portal so you can come for a quick visit, no matter where you are)

Investigation point & click based on Carribean folklore with an interesting female protagonist: ok, you got my attention! ^^ #indiegame

The moment you have all(?) been waiting for is finally here! I've made an html5 version of my 2008 classic "CryptRover" (first game I ever released!) and it's up on itch: stellarcartography.itch.io/crypt-rover Go! Rove that crypt! Punch some aracnids! Don't run out of air or battery!

Good morning! Here is my daily moment of reflection, using my cozy scrapbook journaling game, The Merry Fairy. In a few hours, a new update will be available, together with a 20% discount for the Steam Winter Sale. And of course there will be snow. ❄️ 🧚‍♀️🔮🦋 shorturl.at/z9mvX #cozygame #indiegame

The Abbess Garden has an official release date! The game will be available on Steam on March 2! :) New trailer to celebrate ^^ www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrpj... Other announcement, we have partnered with @join-indie-io.bsky.social! They'll help us with QA & marketing :) #indiegame #cozygame

Updated pinned post as there's so many new faces here so hello everyone! I'm Chappu and I'm a solo dev working on a handpainted third person horrorgame about an all girls ghost club. This is what it currently looks like in engine and below you'll find my gamedev recap of everything I've made so far

I am finishing the plants of The Abbess Garden :) Here is a Rose of Provins, an old rose which was brought from Eastern Europe during the Middle Ages and became popular in France. Roses at that time only had 5 petals :) Have a nice day/evening :) #madeinBlender #indiedev #cozygame #bloomscrolling

The Women-Led Games Steam Festival just started! store.steampowered.com/curator/4376... It features games where at least 50% team members are women/nb :) The Abbess Garden's demo is in there :) And a lot more cozy games! #indiegames #indiedev #cozygame

Many thanks to @atlangames.com for sharing The Abbess Garden's trailer in their games' advent calendar!!! If you don't know them, they are a non-profit gathering gamedevs (studios+freelance) from the West of France (Britanny and Pays de la Loire) :) Check all the games!!! :) #indiedev #gamedev

There are so many great games in the festival/showcase! You should absolutely check it out! Also, the organizer is amazing 💖 #indiegames #womeningames

Some groovy jazz to sooth your Monday: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT4l... 🎵☀️✨

New Abbess Garden devlog is here! store.steampowered.com/news/app/341... I talk about the #Utopiales, to which I was invited thanks to @atlangames.com and share some wip of the columbine in #Blender :) #indiedev #gamedev #cozygames #Nantes

We don't use GenAI in The Abbess Garden either and I agree very much with Xalavier here. There is a crazy pressure to do so but it is not normal and we should not give up. Yes, perfectly ethical work is not possible in this world. But GenAI is so low it's the floor. We can do better.

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

I'm very proud to announce we got our very first badge of honour: "totalitarian leftist propaganda"! 🎉(because there is a queer romance in The Abbess Garden) 😬

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you have been to: - Skunk Anansie (amazing!) - Dream Theater (I saw them 10+ times ;) ) - Trombone Shorty (most lively, so much better live than on record) - The Interrupters (discovered recently!) - Metallica (all time favourite :) )

I was lucky enough to playtest this game and I can tell you it is very fun!!! If you are into management games, check it out!!! :) #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

How I try to become a better game designer: 1/ I try to get a lot of feedback from players and improve based on it 2/ I play and analyse games in my genre 3/ I try to listen more to external ideas :) I discuss game design with my team and other indie devs, especially 4/ I read research papers!

Prune, my bonsai puzzle game and love letter to trees, is finally out on Steam for its 10th anniversary! store.steampowered.com/app/3903490/...

We're hiring a part-time Community Manager! We'd love a local to join our studio, but remote work (from a compatible time zone) is fine for the right person. www.balancingmonkeygames.com/articles/wer...
