If I can pay off my debt early and secure enough operating funds for the company, I’d love to get started right away. But right now, we’re still on the brink of going under.

Hexas is one heck of a darn tootin' time. But don't take our word for it... just watch PowerOnVR's video. No y'all, for real - they created chaos. ▶️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCPX...

Sorry yall Im gonna be annoying about South of Midnight for the next month. But representation matters and seeing reactions like this reminds me how important it is to make authentic games. People want to see it and your audience will find your stories. This made me tear up.

Hi new followers! I'm Sherveen, I'm making Midautumn! It's a roguelike dungeon crawler about a town reckoning with the (literal) ghosts of its past! When guarding the spirit world is your day job, you'll need to face ghosts, myths, and evil CEOs! We're currently in early access on Steam!

I've made a little starter pack of some cool indie devs and game artists making some really cool games if you are new here & trying to find your people :) 🦋 #gamedev #indiegamedev #sologamedev #gameartist go.bsky.app/F2ebNot

Hi Bluesky! I'm an indie dev working on a chill colony sim game where you help little plant people reclaim their planet taken over by defective robots. It's called Green Again and it has a demo on Steam!🌱 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

I contributed a few quotes to the book Great Games Need Great Leaders by Matthew Dyet and finally managed to get a copy for myself, I look forward to reading through it myself !

MEGA Engine progress: I've just finished the enemy respawning feature. There are three possible behavior: on out of view (shown below), on changing screen or never respawn! Changing the behavior is as easy as selecting it from a list! #gamemaker #indiedev #gamedev

the feds: stop trying to turn this guy into some cool antihero with a badass public image also the feds: *treat him like they’ve captured the joker*

This and Grandma's Boy are the most True depictions of life as a video game developer that have ever made No I will not be answering questions, facts are just facts

Fellow indie devs, what do you use to promote your game early in development? I feel Bsky can be nice to talk dev to dev, but I wonder what platforms work the best for reaching early adopting players. Are mailing lists still a thing, or are Social Media platforms the way to go? #indiedev #gamedev

RIGHT! We have so many spots still available, but here we go! This is the #gamer, #streamer, #artist, & #gamedev starter pack! We have about 110 spots available so be sure to let me know if you or someone you know should be included! (yes, this includes news for game stuff too) go.bsky.app/M8kTHaX

Random moments in #gameaudio that I like: In Inside (Playdead, 2016) after the shockwave sequence, a flourescent light you pass will turn off during the shock and come back on after a brief while and clink in tune with the music. Environmental audio synergy. A personal favourite in game audio.

Damn that took a bit but I got all of the frames painted over, next up: adding muzzleflashes. #Doom #DoomModding #GMOTA #Gamedev #Pixelart

Now that all of the gaming platform Year In Reviews are out, do I upset myself and tally up how many hours I spent gaming this year ?!

Game devs, post your first shipped game and your latest shipped game.

Skatepark update, gotta work out the colors. Also the zoom is acting up.

“Is it okay for a social media platform to be an echo chamber” back in the day we had websites and websites were generally focused on a single topic and if you were into that topic you would visit that website and if you weren’t into that topic you just didn’t go on that website and it was fine

#Balatro is now rated 18+ 🃏 The game's creator fires back: "Since PEGI gave us an 18+ rating for having evil playing cards, maybe I should add microtransactions, loot boxes, and real gambling to lower that rating to 3+ like EA Sports FC"

Oh hey, I should probably post my portfolio. I am an artist and a teacher from Maine with a fascination for big videogame worlds. Really really really big worlds. Like, I mean it, REALLY big. Anyway, uh, hi! rimkunas.artstation.com

omg??? 😭

Game devs, post your first shipped game and your latest shipped game.

I went from a passionate game lover who just wished I had the make a chance to work on a single game to having worked on dozens, having friends who work on the games that inspire me now and in the past, and being able to lecture and help navigate their own game career dreams. I'm blessed

It's been over two weeks and these are still on the eShop. Nintendo hasn't responded to any of our reports of these egregious scams which are using our trademarked game name and purposely tricking Nintendo customers into buying cheap fakes.

Finally finished the blog post on game taxonomies The main possibly newish idea here is that "story games" are actually two very different things, one of which has a lot in common with the newer side of the OSR ("NSR") seedlinggames.com/blogging/dis...
