How hard is it to make a good detective video game? The story behind the excellent The Seance of Blake Manor, whose developers were changing integral parts of the design six months before release, might help answer that question. New column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

the dream team rides again - excited to have an excerpt from my book on @mattleone.bsky.social's wonderful new site, @designroom.bsky.social. Loved writing this chapter on The Beatles, and especially learning more about the GOAT Yoko Ono.

many debates were had about giving our game a ridiculously long title, but we do it for 2026 indie bingo 💪🐠

Last week, I got a corrections request for a story I didn't write, on a publication I don't write for. It sent me down a very strange rabbit hole involving a mysterious content publisher. There's a lot I don't understand, but here's what I know: aftermath.site/nicole-carpe...

Toge Productions celebrated its 17th Anniversary with some big announcements. Here's what you need to know:

Thanks for inviting me on to gush about indies and inflate your wishlist @brianpshea.bsky.social!

All Things Nintendo's Brian Shea and I met to scour the indie landscape for gems. Like always, the meeting was filled with amazing games and a little chaos.

For real, go check this out!

We started the year off with a banger episode. Go listen to my podcast with @isaiahsmith.dev

Predictions but this time they're all indie

We’re so back.

The Indie Council is back with predictions of games releases, industry trends, and what will be the hot indie protagonist animal in 2026.

"An oppressive regime demands of its citizens two things: loyalty and mindlessness." The internal bleeding narrative is a clear example.

Got an exciting delivery today! ❤️ @metallicaisrad.bsky.social

This week's indie releases are exploding out of the gate: Jan 12 - Big Hops (@luckshotgames.com) Jan 13 - Hank: Drowning On Dry Land (@mynextgames.com) Jan 14 - Kejora (Berangin Creative) Jan 15 - The Fortress (Baryonyx Games) And more: theindieinformer.com/2026/01/12/2...

Oh man. Blind voting between Eric, Marcus, Gio, or Charles on who has the most indies on their anticipated list is tough... I'm putting it all on Charles, and now I'll have to watch to see how well I guessed!

I previewed Death Howl last year and came away impressed. I'm glad to report the full release lived up to its potential! Join me for a little gameplay.

I've been posting updates for my cozy graveyard game on Twitter, and I've been nervous about switching platforms. ...But now, I'm trying out Buffer to help post across several platforms. So, expect Guernsey updates on BlueSky starting in just a little while! 👻 #gamedev #indieGameDev

This is a very personal one for me. Sharing is deeply appreciated.

"An oppressive regime demands of its citizens two things: loyalty and mindlessness. In the game, as in life, the answer to overcoming authoritarian suppression is coming together and sharing knowledge." A great read from @theindieinformer.bsky.social Stay strong everyone. We can fight this.

@finruin.bsky.social is so easily one of our industry's best writers

I'm increasingly horrified by what I see happening around me and often feel powerless. But there are so many ways to resist. These are my thoughts on fighting back in one way I know how: With indies.

It's the first Wishlist Wednesday of 2026! Let's fill those lists up with indies we'd love to play this year. From time-bending to block shooting, Medieval undead to peaceful building, there's an indie for everyone.

What indies do you hope come out this year?

It's the list you've been waiting all year for!

Some very exciting games in here like Lucid, Fishbowl and Lil Gator Game 2, but I did not know Goobies 2 is coming out. I love Goobies.

SoonTM 😅

So many great looking games for 2026!!

Thanks for the Dosa Divas inclusion!

Thanks so much for the shoutout 🙏 We’re honoured to be on a list with so many fantastic games! (Which we’re totally playing/wishlisting!)

Wait a minute... I recognise that record store! 😮🥰

It's the list you've been waiting all year for!

2026 is already looking dazzling. I can't wait to fill out this release schedule as the year unfolds!

Charles doing indies proud.

hi everybody! I'm urgently looking for full-time game writing/narrative design work. I'm a 6-year industry pro working with both AAA and indie studios on titles like Borderlands 4, Endoparasitic, and [REDACTED]. I also edit and consult! Updated portfolio is live on my new site: www.nessacannon.com
