Human artists, use one piece to convince people to follow you! 👀

😭 @katerblossom.bsky.social has been such an amazing advocate for Wax Heads 🙏😭❤️ Thank you!

What's maddening (and also v.exciting) about hearing all the praise for Titanium Court, is looking at those screenshots and thinking it looks very cool but also not being able to parse what's happening - just makes me more intrigued!!!

@nosmallgames.bsky.social have been so good to us and I can't thank them enough for their kind words and support. Go give them some love.

Got a good measure of how our parenting is going today - the boys have a non uniform/dress up as what you want to be when you're older: We had a burglar and crime boss this morning 😂🫠🫣

There's some tasty graffiti artists at work on those store shutters... (By which I mean, @mattjohnss.bsky.social who designed nearly all of them ❤️) (AND @balazsronyai.bsky.social created a lovely bunch of vehicles and characters to pass by) (AAAAND @ginaloughlin.com made another killer song)

friends! acquaintances! help! i'm looking to hire a game designer (living in the Netherlands) to help build games in The Hidden Folks Universe, starting with a sequel to the indie hit game Hidden Folks. know someone who's a good fit? pls forward this, ty! hiddenfolks.com/job-opening/...

This looks so rad! What a great group of talented artists!

Gave Kit my @aggrocrabgames.bsky.social hat for school today cause they're doing outdoor stuff and he lost his own hat this week. He told me reassuringly he wouldn't lose this one because he'll also put his coat hood up over it. .... I am never seeing that hat again. 🥲

accidentally introduced a bug to the game where all the text got replaced with "you"

Every year I say it, but still, what a year for indie games. Here are twenty-six of my most anticipated upcoming titles: theindieinformer.com/2026/01/06/2...

Listening and being present to what the customer is saying is really important to find the best album for them! They might surprise you with their requests. Also you can pet your Tamagotchi :3 Game: Wax Heads (Demo) Platform: PC

❤️😭

The bookshop🐸

Can't believe it was nearly 2 years ago we first announced Wax Heads and put the demo out and ended up with this lovely preview in @edgemagazine.bsky.social from @schillingc.bsky.social that YES I framed in my office (don't worry I have like 5 other copies of it...)

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

holy shit!

It's been almost 30 years and I'm still chasing the high and wonder of the original Monster Rancher, where you could put any readable disc (CDs, other games) into the PlayStation and it would generate one of the game's many monsters for you from it.

Yakuza flunkies Goshima, Ota, Yasuda, and Adachi. Not much glory for these guys. Character design: Shojiro Nishimi / Colors: Miyuki Ito #TEKKON #鉄コン #anime #アニメ #松本大洋 #TaiyoMatsumoto #AMERBETON

Baphomet-Chan (2026) #procreate #digitalart #oc

TEKKONKINKREET One thing that was fun but also complicated was the large number of costume changes. Shiro had EIGHT outfits (included naked). Black also eight (not counting the Minotaur). Character design: Shojiro Nishimi Colors: Miyuki Ito #TEKKON #鉄コン #AMERBETON #anime #アニメ #松本大洋 #TaiyoMatsumoto

making sure your game has a suitable variety of interesting stuff in it

New Year, New "Hey, I'm Still Looking For Work" Post I'm available for full-time or part-time work as a Game Writer and a Narrative Designer but I'm open to consulting if that's what you need. You can find my work and reach out to me at sahilbajaj.dev

Now that everyone is going back to work, it's a good time to remind you I still urgently want to be your next writer of things. Email [email protected] or DM me for my portfolio. Happy New Year!

Uh-oh @rothiotome.bsky.social ummmm... quickly... 👀

I'm writing about the Palestine Action hunger strikers at the moment, any of whom could die at any moment, and the astonishing media and government silence surrounding them. The Establishment seems to have become even crueller than when Thatcher was PM.

Does anyone have any experience with selling art prints on a store like kickstarter etc? I finally got a few of my pieces printed and framed, and they look nice. But I think I would struggle to justify the labor involved without it being a bulk sorta thing.

I don't know why I have Ash Ketchum roleplaying as an asshole aging punk singer, sometimes the art just leads you where it needs to go...?

Hey that's me! I'm Wax Heads.

I was going to remind everyone that there is some time left to get BOTH my games for like 3 bucks but I can't be bothered store.steampowered.com/bundle/51136...

Happy New Year! This year is gonna be crazy, lest I remind you that -

2025 achievements: - moved into our own place after living with in-laws for 4 years - started EMDR therapy (it's good!) - worked with an AMAZING and just lovely group of talented devs on Wax Heads - managed to roughly stay on scope with game production (I.e Wax Heads is nearly done!?)

Hey music video fans, there's an indie MTV type thing that just launched yesterday at tv.theindiebeat.fm, streaming 24/7, quality extremely variable in the best way (because it means they show my videos occasionally)

Yeah unsurprisingly I absolutely adore Silksong, the combination of the art/world building along with frantic gameplay really absorbs me. It's also a kind of genre I wouldn't make myself, which means I can enjoy it and not get my brain in the way of trying to be inspired to do something similar 😅

It is going to be WILD drawing stuff that isn't for Wax Heads in 2026 👀 Lots of feelings all culminating together as 2025 winds up and I reflect on 2026 being when people can finally experience the biggest outpouring of personal artistic expression I've ever made... 👀😱🫠 #artvartist

Comic about time

Growing up in Gaza, I didn't realize that the siege I was living under was unique or that others didn't face a constant threat of death. It was only after I left that I understood I had grown up in a concentration camp, and that it shaped my life mondoweiss.net/2025/12/i-di...

Don't know wha it says about me that I choose to play and hurt myself playing Silksong as a way to relax and rest my brain...

I'm starting a series of longer design reviews, and Dispatch was a great first candidate - from its weird treatment of women to its lack of narrative consequences, there was a lot to talk about malindy.medium.com/dispatch-des...

I have never had a Spotify account and always just played music on Winamp. A loved one's moving away from Spotify to also just owning mp3s and showed me this website. I can't get over how it's exactly the kind of internet I miss and what I wouldn't do to bring it back. skins.webamp.org

Happy Christmas to all except hunters march. Fuck you hunters march

Happy Christmas! I just stayed up til midnight making a cardboard medieval prison for my kids 😂😭🎄🤘

Squeezing in one more day of development before tonight I'm FINALLY allowed to play games again instead of making them (Silksong, Unbeatable and Skate Story - looking at you 👀) BUT as my 2025 tired brain creeps close to the end, it's giving me gifts of accidental cool shit:

When I first asked @ginaloughlin.com to work on Wax Heads, I think neither of us could've predicted that it would reach the heights that it has - the soundtrack to this game is profoundly delightful, blistering, bombastic, soaring and above all, personal. Cannot wait for you to hear it next year ❤️

A few years ago we (@joonturbo.bsky.social, @polclarissou.bsky.social, @torfi.bsky.social, @muuutsch.bsky.social & I) made a cool game about squirrels - it's on sale on Steam now & people are still enjoying it. What a delightful feeling!! ❤️
