#GodotEngine 4.5 has finally arrived! 🎉 With this new release, we made meticulous efforts in order to amplify what is possible to do with our engine, guided by our goal of making gaming and game development for everyone! godotengine.org/releases/4.5/

adventuregamehotspot.com/interview/51... Our amazing co-organiser @tallstorygames.bsky.social was featured in an interview with @cressup.bsky.social on @aghotspot.bsky.social today! Tom tells all about AdventureX and his own game dev projects. Worth a read! TICKETS AVAILABLE: adventurexpo.org

Unfortunately, like many other sites on the internet right now, we're the victim of excessive suspicious requests from bots over the past few days. We're working the best we can to mitigate and get services fully restored. Thanks for your patience

Itchio site kicking it right when the YaoiGameJam deadline is due is not ideal.

Antonym Obscure has been released! It's a short free BL visual novel about two cute dorks that answers a very important question: what would you do if a former friend became a super famous singer in a beloved band, but he still wanted to kiss you?! 🎸 ebihime.itch.io/antonym-obsc... #yaoi #boyslove

This “solo dev” and “only 3 devs” rhetoric is getting truly dangerously out of hand. Investors see this and think “I only have to pay 3 people” and the result is severely overworked and/or underpaid people and a subpar product. We need to stop treating outsourcers and contractors like ghosts.

For those looking to try out ink, #inkjam is back and the signup page is now live. One week, unofficial, founded by @paulloz.bsky.social and now hosted by @jonkeevy.bsky.social Starts 29th September!

He's back! Snarl, my short pixel-horror point & click prequel to both Abscission and Teeth of Glass, is now available for free or donation at beyondbooleans.itch.io/snarl Enjoy!

seems like steam is now hiding all r18 games to people living in the uk, so you won't even know these r18 games exist if you check a developer's profile before you could still see the game even if you couldn't view its page, now you can't see the game at all so you can't even try to access it

I've uploaded the demo of Bittersweet Blossoms, the sequel to Blackberry Honey, on Patreon! The demo is free to check out, so everybody can read the first 10% or so of my next historical yuri visual novel feat. cute maids ❤️✨ 🌸 www.patreon.com/posts/bitter... #yuri #girlslove #yurivn

After a year of work I've finally released my adventure game. It's called Maura and Ash, and it's designed for MS-DOS. You can download it or play it in the browser right now! moralrecordings.itch.io/mauraash #msdos #pointandclick #adventuregame

And they double down on their "we want a homophobe-friendly space" stance. Fuck off Jagex. I'm so glad I cancelled my OSRS account. www.gamedeveloper.com/business/jag...

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #nsfw #censorship #canpoli @acvalens.net

We've passed $75,000 for queer artists, on our final Friday with about four days left. Get over 600 games and artworks by over 300 queer artists for just $60 (or $10+), less than the cost of one AAA game. itch.io/b/3062

Like so many of its kind, this knightly tale starts in prison. Or cell, rather. Well, no time like the present to break free from an overly cramped space—provided you're up for a bit of pointing and clicking in @preymak.com's The Silly Knight: Prologue. www.wraithkal.com/the-silly-kn...

We are SO back! Dead Pets Unleashed has been brought back to life 🎸 Our writer CAP spoke EXCLUSIVELY with the publisher about why this comeback is a testament to queer resilience and how they're bringing the game to players. Read our interview with @akuparagames.bsky.social. buff.ly/jdcV1yP

So... @juliaprokhorova.bsky.social recently released a demo for Woodo, and after playing it I have (very positive) thoughts. Thoughts which have been chronicled in this here brief impressions writeup. www.wraithkal.com/woodo-demo-i...

🗣️Françoise Cadol, French voice of Lara Croft, was NOT asked to record any new voicelines & did NOT give her consent for any subsequent use of her voice, especially with AI. She only recently found out about the remasters. Thanks to OFP members @hedteur.bsky.social & @ssiguss.bsky.social! #TombRaider
