ROSEWATER is currently 25% off on GOG! A critically-acclaimed point & click adventure set in an alternate Old West where your choices actually impact the story! www.gog.com/en/game/rose...

When I referred to the industry as being “crashier” now than it was in 1983, I meant how it feels to live and work in this industry as a developer, not in terms of industry revenue. A🧵...

Today's my birthday, so that means that you're required to go wishlist Nighthawks. There's a rule, apparently. bsky.app/profile/wadj...

The Excavation of Hob's Barrow is currently a whopping 55% off on GOG! 💀⛏️🩸 It's a great time to check out our folk horror adventure set on the moors of Northern England. The answers lie in the soil...

Yes yes YES

So proud to be a voice in this. It’s gonna be amazing.

Hey! I got to do a little bit of testing for this a while back! @richardcobbett.bsky.social is an insanely talented writer and you are DEFINENTLY going to want to wishlist this!

This looks good. I will buy seven copies. Awesome trailer by @indiebard.co, incidentally.

Written in ink!

“Please have 2+ years of experience with an engine we announced on Friday” really sums up the state of the games industry.

you deserved better, you did your best

my heart goes out to all the talented creatives at Bungie who struggled under catastrophic mismanagement for years trying to make a good game who will likely be thrown into the worst games job market in history

Oh COME ON

Oh hey! @andreablythe.bsky.social spotted in the wild!

We’re pretty thrilled with this - TR-49 has been nominated for *two* Apple design awards We love the mobile form factor and always have - the immediacy of it and the lower barrier to entry - and we’re dead chuffed to have that recognised!

Come work with me! Our team has grown a lot in just a couple of years, but, well, you need a lot of hands for a game like this :)

Video game power fantasy: being able to order a two pence pint in a pub.

My friend and fellow musician Anthony was recently diagnosed with cancer. He could use some help paying for treatment. Consider giving or boosting if you're able. Thanks for your time. www.gofundme.com/f/support-an...

“This game was targeted for harassment because it involved this person, or that person” No. Any game release that achieves any broad level of attention now will attract reactionary commentators and their harassment, because generating hatred is how they make their money. It’ll never be enough.

One of the greatest priviledges of my life has been working with @threeohfour.bsky.social these last 15 or so years. This interview is the best example of why that is.

While trying to find a gate for my flight back to the US, two separate security personnel told me that "flights to Canada are that way". I'm not sure what to make of this.

Yes. AAA companies put a stranglehold on their creatives to their own detriment. What could benefit you more than employees investing in themselves, without you having to pay them?

The May NYC Indie Games Social, normally on first Wednesdays, has been postponed to next week as I wrangle a new venue! Details here: buttondown.com/nycindiegame...

There have been two instances this week where I have gone to pick up food, and the person at the register gave me free cake. I'm not complaining but, like, why?

Grab some discounted adventure games to play this weekend! A Golden Wake - 80% off Lamplight City - 40% off Rosewater - 25% off store.steampowered.com/developer/gr...

I looked, but unfortunately there is no good GIF for "all 15 point-and-click adventure games made by Humongous Entertainment between 1994 and 2001".

Dreams on a Pillow is the game that the establishment doesn't want you to play. A game made by Palestinians about Palestine. This game needs to exist, and we can make it happen. Please back, share, and talk about this game. We must amplify the voices that they're trying so hard to silence.

There are literally whole forums dedicated to identifying marginalised people and figuring out how to covertly make people hate them. Remember that. And if you have strong feelings about ANYBODY you don’t know, ask yourself why - and then ask yourself what the source for your reason is.

So much of the hatred and harassment towards game developers from reactionary online voices is specifically underpinned by virulent misogynoir. The Black women working in game dev go so undefended it is maddening.

I'm going to keep shouting about this, so any help would be most appreciated!

So, I played a little of this and I'm still trying to think of a more succinct way of saying OH MY FREAKING GOD YOU NEED TO GO WISHLIST THIS RIGHT NOW GO TO STEAM IMMEDIATELY HOW IS @threeohfour.bsky.social THIS GOOD AT EVERYTHING???

Hey! It's my birthday! If we haven't met, I'm John. I do writing/narrative design games... including ones you might have heard of. I've just wrapped up doing rewrites and VO direction for an upcoming AAA shooter so I'm currently looking for the next adventure.

I would just like to stress that Jess and Francisco are awesome and you should hire them.

In case your wondering what it's like applying to jobs right now; I just got an automated rejection for a role I applied to almost three months ago. This is very normal.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️ My team & I have been working on a game that is an unabashedly queer, trans, & heartfelt love letter to Cowboy Bebop called BITTER SILVER. If you can, share this post & wishlist on Steam before we release later this year: store.steampowered.com/app/1906930/...

Trans Day Of Give My Game Visibility Please And Thank You

Regarding your application...

Somehow sales always ramp up in the final few hours, so... ONLY 1 HOUR LEFT! GOGOGOGOGOGOGO! store.steampowered.com/developer/gr...

Maybe it’s the executives that should be trotted out the door. Someone can’t math so good.

Old Skies is 20% off during the Steam Spring Sale! Journey through seven time periods of New York history in our critically acclaimed time-travel adventure game, which the AV Club called "One of the best time travel games we ever played." store.steampowered.com/app/1346360/...

Other very smart people have correctly answered Ganondorf from Wind Waker, but I also love his fight in Twilight Princess. It goes from an OoT homage, to a test of your wolf form, to a gut punch, to a fight on horseback, and finally closing with a cool-ass duel.

Perfect Tides: Station to Station is 20% off during the spring sale! Look how exhausted that one friend who's been screaming at you about it is! Play it and let them rest. store.steampowered.com/app/2088810/...

Rosewater seems to have a slight exposure problem. Great reviews, discounted 25%, and yet sales have been minimal. If you’ve played it and enjoyed it, please help spread the word! store.steampowered.com/app/1226670/...

Well, I think that's the hardest I've laughed in a while.

Folks have been testing the first chapter of Gilt this week. Lots of really great feedback. I added a couple of scenes, too. Here’s one I painted on Wednesday. I’m so happy to see people really connecting with the project and enjoying my strange ideas.

Delightful.
