Updated my rig for shooting football footage. Still trying to find a decent tripod that’s somewhat portable and has a decent fluid head for tracking shots. I shoot wide at 4k 60fps for the coaches and edit tighter for highlights. Turned an older iPhone into a mounted wired external monitor.

We're going to have Game Cassettes for a panel I'm on for QGCon (see thread for featured material) So we made a guide on how to make cassettes here you go :) slothysunday.itch.io/make-your-ow...

I thought I was the only one feeling the immense intensity of *everything* that’s going on right now. I’m deeply tired and I hope you’re doing ok.

New Edge day and I have a preview of Dosa Divas, the new game being cooked up by the devs behind Thirsty Suitors

This week’s Creative Bloq indie spotlight is Dosa Divas. I also previewed it for Edge but here I go in a bit more on the abstract and stylised design of its RPG world while keeping a spicy narrative and themes around food and family at its core www.creativebloq.com/3d/video-gam...

“The crisis facing men is not the crisis of masculinity, it is the crisis of patriarchal masculinity. Until we make this distinction clear, men will continue to fear that any critique of patriarchy represents a threat.” I wish for all men to read bell hooks The Will to Change. I wish I had earlier.

hello content creators! you should play consume me because : - funny - mini-games - will make you cry - award winning do you want to relive MY high school experience? well now’s the time to request a code to stream or review the game at launch!! ❤️09.25.25❤️ forms.gle/npXsYjN9LvSP...

which one of you said to me weeks ago that it's okay for a game to be deeply unfair as long as it's also sufficiently funny?

I know developers are afraid to deny players what they want or expect, but I genuinely believe that doing so — intentionally & thoughtfully — can mean players *remember* the game long after, like a grain of sand in an oyster turning to a pearl #ThirstySuitors 💔💦 www.dualshockers.com/great-games-...

Brilliant narrative game with wonderful mechanics that perfectly captures the ever shifting tone of life drama. There's going to be laughing and crying and sometimes both at the same time. Also, IMHO this is how you make a smaller scope narrative game with great pacing. Take note and get it!

People from all over are showing up for DC. This is not a moment. It’s a movement. We are united in our demands. We are all DC! #FreeDC

The lesson is hit the lottery and take all the time you need to make cool thing.

If you’re in a position to work on your own game in your spare time while having a job, it is a path. It’s a difficult path and that’s how I started our studio too. Other options are also difficult!

I guess it's doin alright

don't quit your day job! work on the game part-time while keeping your day job! i was still part-time when Building Relationships got featured in Summer Game Fest (i ended up quitting bc management was very toxic) the indie dev scene is very different now compared to 10 years ago

We’re shopping around three different playable prototypes all focuses on narrative but with repayable systemic gameplay. This year has been the hardest of any years getting any traction and I’m thinking what if we bundle it up and release it on Steam. Let the players decide?

We're not at the end of the year yet so there is still time for some surprises but here are four of the best game key arts unveiled so far in 2025. We'll vote for a winner in December so if you see any good new ones let me know! Not judging the games, but specifically the key art.

The Games for Palestine charity bundle is out NOW! 🍉🎮 Get 382 games, including Atuel, for donating just $8 (or more) to humanitarian aid for Palestine and Palestinian refugees. Please help to fight against genocide by donating and spreading the word with a RT! 🙏✨

back in 1947, there was a book called All-Negro Comics #1. It was the first comic by and for black folks, and thanks to the efforts of @chrisrobinson.info & crew, it's coming back from Image Comics this fall. I wrote a little bit about it. I'm very stoked. essays.iamdavidbrothers.com/2025/09/dont...

Walking around PAX today, hope to see some of y’all!

Seattle: if you're near downtown and want a PAX-adjacent gaming thing to do, for FREE, the Seattle Indies Expo (SIX) at Motif Hotel is the best it's ever been. Two floors; dozens of playable, unique games. Open from now til 6 (plus some kind of connected party in the same space from 6-9).

Me and Towerbolt are at the Seattle Indies Expo!! Come on down to check out the game and all the other awesome games made by local devs!! #SIX2025 @seattleindies.bsky.social

An all-timer of the genre where I wonder how not one person involved with arresting these firefighters, at any level of leadership or not, didn't stop and just ask "wait this one's probably not a great idea, right?" [🎁]

On S4 of The Bear rewatch and loving it even more a second time through. Ayo's direction of Napkins episode in S3 about Tina's backstory and Ayo's co-written Worms episode focused on Syd's family/culture is so well done. It's great to see talent shine on this show.

The journey begins. Take Us North is a narrative-driven game inspired by real-world stories that follows the journeys of migrants and asylum seekers on their way to cross the US-Mexico border. Back it now on Kickstarter and help humanize migrant stories: www.kickstarter.com/projects/tak...

Saw Counting Crows last night on the lawn. They sounded great!

I guess my first 5 Steam games were added after retail and not purchased directly on Steam.

One of our neighbors showed up, stared at our dog and posed while I took some pics. Good visit.

The market for funding is rough right now and we've purposefully been focusing on smaller games for our next set of projects. So many talented people still looking for work and doesn't seem like things are going to change anytime soon.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort. It aired in 1990.
