I don't know how often people wishlist soundtracks on Steam but if you're one of the handful of people who does that sort of thing, the Forbidden Solitaire OST page is now live! Go nuts! store.steampowered.com/app/4551280/...

➕Playable at New Game Plus FORBIDDEN SOLITAIRE - @greyalien.bsky.social & @slicknicklives.bsky.social Forbidden Solitaire is a card-slashing horror game about unearthing the contents of a cryptic 1995 CD-ROM that should have never existed. 🎟️tickets.games.london | #LGF26

This is great. It's so rare when people actually pay artists post-release when they are able. I'm struggling to even remember a second instance of this, but I know it's happened before.

WE DID THE DANG THING! 💚✨

Not only is AI designed to steal from workers and artists but divide us and break solidarity. Asking friends, networking to find VA's and the like is so important as a dev and a creator, teaches you invaluable skills and builds community.

Anyone working with dialogue audio who claims they NEED to use AI is talking nonsense. There are thousands of us in the field who have contributed to a medium that's existed for like, 100 years, and we all have advice on how not to use AI voices.

Most audio dramas do this too. Audio dramas like Hi Nay have 1 voice actor doing 14 voices and a cast of friends who did it for free until we could pay them (50 episodes in). Magnus Archives did this as well. Malevolent, from my understanding, has a single voice actor. There's no excuse.

Home Safety Hotline was made under very dire circumstances, and features more voice acting than any game we’ve done before. How? Because the cast consists of us, our friends, and first-time VOs from anime conventions looking for a credit in a shipped game! And once we HAD money, we paid them.

Jake is about to drop one of the best games this year next month with Forbidden Solitaire, so be ahead of the curve and play his other games, cause they are all a blast.

i also HIGHLY recommend you play the demo for and then wishlist Forbidden Solitaire, which has the devs of Shadowhand teaming up with the Home Safety Hotline people to make an incredible looking horror solitaire game that releases next month. store.steampowered.com/app/3414580/...

if you're bored atm why not go add DEAD LETTER DEPT. to the 'Fake OS' tag party

This came up at GDC and yall should help! If you need some suggestions for other ‘Fake OS’ games to tag: Forbidden Solitaire, Home Safety Hotline, Her Story, Hypnospace Outlaw, Desktop Explorer

Developers of interface-based games are getting together to try to make a "Fake OS" tag a thing on Steam! If you like games where you interact with a fake operating system, join in and start tagging!

A 'lil tagging project, if you would be so kind... #FakeOS #indiedev

Our panel "Games about Games" is mentioned on this!... as an example of developers nobody knows. Just because it's true doesn't mean you have to rub it in😆 (Thanks for attending @jacobgeller.com )

Things seem to be going well for Forbidden Solitaire. Out soon. store.steampowered.com/app/3414580/...

Forbidden Solitaire Solitaire meets gory dungeon crawling meets... the moral panic surrounding DOOM in the 90s? What?! Yeah, this is easily one of the big winners for me, this game fucking slaps, I was *upset* when the demo ended. April can't come soon enough, this one is a must-have.

GDC talk titles are real whiplash sometimes. It’s like- Save The Children: Technically Legal Exploitation Cross-Sector Organ Harvesting AI Pipelines Saving The Planet With Games :) Grassroots Techniques For Data Harvesting at Global Scales

the “games about games” microtalks panel has been my favorite GDC talk so far. i’d been aware of the plunderludics scene but hearing them talk about their work was extremely cool and inspiring

Don't make me tap the sign (it is a sign agreeing that the 1993 Mario Bros movie is really fuckin cool) youtu.be/3t43BeU2ooM?...

Today’s the day! If you’re at GDC come by and check out Games About Games Microtalks with @lucasimmanuel.bsky.social, myself and other experimental devs exploring the possibilities of making games within games at 3!

They spelled the name wrong but always cool to see your own game getting repped at GDC 😔🙏

Helen and I are not at GDC but @slicknicklives.bsky.social and @davidjohnsen.bsky.social are! Yesterday they were repping our game at Day of the Devs, yay!

Forbidden Solitaire booth at Day of the Devs was poppin’! Really fun to chat with folks and see live reactions! 🥳💀 And now, to sleep like a ton of bricks.

Starting my GDC trip off right by experiencing the worst, most drill-to-the-skull pressure headache I’ve had upon our plane landing. Thank god someone offered me Sudafed because I felt like my eyes were about to explode. 🙃 ANYWAY, now onwards to Day of the Devs!

Unpopular opinion, but a lot of this "doing it right" mentality is how we wind up with games all feeling the exact same. Difficulty spikes, weird controls, ropey onboarding all of it critical to prevent games feeling like they're ground down and pumped out safe mush. www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/s/...

VIDEO GAMES ARE THE GREATEST THING IN THE WORLD!!! Watch this video and tell me if you agree! And then come see all these games & meet the devs March 8 in SF! youtu.be/hJf0-dsb-nI?...

Saw the new Steam developer pages were customizable and I'm a visual creature at heart so you know I had to jump on that. store.steampowered.com/publisher/ni...

This was harder than I thought to narrow down, but this feels fairly representative.

Our fancy shmancy new NSE business cards came in today! We almost never need these since we’re such introverted vampires but for our first GDC I figure we should have some!

Forbidden Solitaire is taking part in the London Games Festival! This year's lineup will be playable at New Game Plus on Thursday 16 and Friday 17 April, plus there's a Festival Steam Showcase online 🤩

Getting ready to hand these out at Day of the Devs. Gotta spread the word about this evil filth!!

Oh damn, Yahtzee's about to play Forbidden Solitaire! As a longtime ZP fan I admit this is cool as hell. 👀

Yay Forbidden Solitaire got a mention. "That's an insta-download from me!"

Lolll someone on r/Steam posted a screenshot of a broken link on their wishlist to ask about it, but the presence of Forbidden Solitaire in the screenshot causes several commenters to immediately wishlist it. Our capsule game is 💪💪💪

Reminder that David and I will be in San Francisco for GDC next week, hit me up if you wanna meet up, chat, summon otherworldly horrors together, etc. ☺️🤘

BIG NEWS! Forbidden Solitaire is going to be at Day of the Devs in San Francisco! Feel free to come and chat with @davidjohnsen.bsky.social and I there in-person! 🥳
