I'm the biggest AI hater out here and have been banging the anti-AI drum in my gamedev communities for years now 🫡 I do all the art, programming, design, etc. myself; no coding assistant, no AI for research or docs! my Next Fest demo really needs your help 😂 store.steampowered.com/app/4342490/...

I've been calling our new mode a roguelite for months and then a beta player pointed out that it's actually a roguelike and I feel silly. I had decided that progression of available cards/items/enemies mattered but it seems like it's all about the fully resetting part.

TOP 3 CRYPTIDS! Which other ones should we add? Play the demo now! #cryptid #indiegames #wishlistwednesday

All the video game trailers from SGF+ make me want to work on all the games in all the genres.

We just released the demo (and this awesome trailer) for Escape from Slumberland! Go check it out on Steam - store.steampowered.com/app/3011520/...

This style is so good. What a treat for the eyes (and ears!) from @brainandbrain.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jm1r...

Steps to code a new feature: 1) Think about how it should work 2) Write all the new functionality 3) Test to discover nothing is working 4) Realize you forgot to connect it to anything I just did this and felt compelled to share my shame.

File this under Unexpected Developer Adventures: I've been trying to figure out what everything in the Battle Suit Aces universe smells like. OVR just launched the Omara kickstarter so that you can smell space stations, frongs, and Pholian ruins. www.kickstarter.com/projects/oma...

Nic's games are so good and Amberspire is no exception! The world building is amazing in all dimensions.

Amberspire is out TOMORROW, on Steam, for PC Mac and Steam Deck. It's a science fantasy city builder with increasingly abstract dice, esoteric and powerful factions, and an ecology atop a mausoleum moon.

Events in Amberspire can affect anything from the population of your city to the strength of its factions. Be prepared to manage the outcomes of such events (or keep your Influence high enough that you can sway the results). Amberspire is out on May 6th! 🌇 Wishlist on Steam ⬇️

Amberspire is out in a scant SIX DAYS. It's a city builder with dice, a science-fantasy ecology, a future history of an imagined past. Give it a look:

This website is so cool. Artemis II photos on a timeline alongside their position! artemistimeline.com#55207787628

Please keep an eye on these featurettes! We’re telling you all about the game right up through launch!

Highly recommend #BattleSuitAces ✨ Turn-based card battler + cool mechs + hot cast + queer reps + pewpew lasers :D

Jeremy is great to work with! (and obviously incredibly talented)

Only three weeks to go!!

Two years ago, I misconfigured this drone card to always go to the Trash instead of Discard. No one noticed until our new mode (in beta in our Discord now!) got players to use it more.

Our community is amazing. The first night of them testing the new mode has been so fun and helpful. 💖 Join them!

For the first time in a *while*, I've got availability to take on a new client or two this spring. If you're interested in learning more about collaborating/working together please reach out via email! :)

The Trinket Community discord server will beta testing a new Battle Suit Aces mode starting this week. Join us if you're ready for a new challenge (or just new cool friends)! 🤖💫 discord.com/invite/trink...

A video game lawyer helps us understand what makes Outersloth's indie dev funding arm, and the contracts it shared at GDC last week, so revolutionary for the industry. New from @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social

This is a great contract and Outersloth is such a beacon of hope for the industry. Please send your finest game demos to them. (and if you need encouragement, I'd be thrilled to talk to you about our experience)

Amberspire, our dice driven science fantasy city builder, will release MAY 6! Roll dice, grow a city, forge alliances, interact with an ecology, and read a history of the future. PC, Mac, Steam Deck - May 6! s.team/a/3350750

Hey y'all, reminder that I'll be at GDC giving two (2) talks! Monday at 11:50, I'll be talking about how we can make board games better for the planet. Friday at 12:30 (new time!) I'll be at the Experimental Games Showcase talking about how the escape room in my apartment made my friends cry.

come to my GDC 2026 talk with @fortebass.bsky.social! GAME FUNDING: LESSONS FROM OUTERSLOTH 💰 what is indie survival 💰 how we run a fund (and you can too!) 💰 OUTERSLOTH CONTRACT reveal (whoaaA) 💰 this specific slide 🕐 Mar 9 @ 10:30am | @officialgdc.bsky.social schedule.gdconf.com/session/game...

Stay a while and listen (and chat)! I'm currently cruising back to Chicago for this.

Mads is great!

-------------------------------------------------------- ⚠️ Warning!! A new demo has appeared! ⚠️ -------------------------------------------------------- my demo is finally live on Steam! ✨ store.steampowered.com/app/4342490?... hit me with that wishlist 🙏 #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I miss the days when streamer scams were easy to detect: they would just use the a tricky email address, like swapping in an "l" for an "I". But nowww, I have to skim recent and old videos to see that a) the audio is talking about a different game and b) the comments are all bots.

before signing with @outersloth.com, i tell devs to reach out to teams we've worked with so they get a sense of what it's actually like to be with us!! whoever u sign with, check with others! most are more than happy to chat (and don't just talk to the most successful games under the label either.)

And last is... me! Hi, I'm looking for work. I was the animation lead for Wanderstop. I rigged every character, set the animation style, hired and set schedules, and did a huge amount of animation and anim code, FX work, and more. Enjoy my new demo reel and then email me at [email protected]!

Awhile ago I wanted to tell a car in front of me their blinker was on so I made Shout Screen. It's completely free, no ads. Check it out, I had a lot of fun taking a little break to make it last month. shoutscreen.app

This was such a fun stream! @tom.trinketstudios.com talked to @piratesoftware.live about ALL the voice acting and making a gigantic anime-inspired deckbuilder. youtu.be/wwsPOO6RUCM?...

After reading that James Cameron may have gotten the inspiration for The Terminator plot from a '60s sci-fi movie (Cyborg 2087), I drew this B movie inspired Terminator poster

This was a great chat!

This is what we needed for a proper Metacritic score!

"A delightful visual novel and a great deckbuilder combined. What more could you want?" - PC Gamer www.pcgamer.com/games/roguel...

Hi #PortfolioDay ! I'm Jeremy, I like drawing scifi, and open to opportunities!

Chris is so talented and left nothing to chance with Big Hops. This is a great game and if you like 3D Platformers at all, you'll have an excellent time.
