Honored to see Arctic Awakening among such an amazing list of games in the Excellence in Narrative category! We poured our hearts into telling this story, and it's meant a lot seeing so many people connect with it. 💙 #indiegame #indiedev

What the fuck did I just read? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

looked up zootopia 2 on imdb. disney brought back the same white people to make another racist movie for kids 9 years later.

Pro tip: Match your own breathing with Kai’s meditation mini-game… it works in real life too. 🧘❄️ #indiegame #indiedev #meditation

whew! we've been working on this game since 2019 and it's out RIGHT NOW 🥳 go get a copy!!

Yeah, no. I'm a contractor, I write for games, and sometimes that means writing 100% of a game's text. I'm a valuable part of the team! Contractors aren't just "support", they deserve to be credited (and treated) better than this

(actually probably not since silksong’s launch broke steam but yeah!!)

lol steam store is down, happy silksong release day!!

Arctic Awakening SPOTTED 😍 Launching September 18th on PC, Mac, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S Press are already playing on Steam (console codes coming later, sorry). If you're press and want to play a Firewatch-esque first-person narrative thriller on Steam, email me or reply below and I'll send today!

In the four years I've been at IGN I've watched its staff shrink and shrink, all while those who remain are asked to do more and more. I see colleagues skip lunch, stay late day after day, and burn out. IGN staff are passionate and love their work. But we can't keep letting that be exploited.

This is the first time I’ve ever seen a social platform say that these child safety (aka anti-porn laws) are bad for everyone. Governments around the world are “think of children”ing their way into tracking you online and forcing a monopoly of the internet. It’s getting really scary.

With the game releasing in just 33 days (!!), here's a few new screenshots while you wait! #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #indiedev

Gamers are feasting in September! Hollow Knight, Borderlands 4, Silent Hill, Arctic Awakening... what are you most excited for?

Great graphic explaining why layered covid mitigation strategies are so helpful! Even one slice of cheese can break a chain of transmission!!!

Newgrounds' approach to verifying age is interesting and transparent.

Hey, as someone who makes a living off selling adult games, I would really appreciate people helping to push back against censorship by payment processors. These puritanical extremists pressuring them have been successful because they've made a lot of noise, so we should be making even more noise!

continuing to run the UBI experiment 14,000,605 times every decade in search of one time it ever won't produce clear positive results for everyone involved so there can finally be an example for the ultra wealthy people to point to illustrating why we can't do that like they've always been saying

credit cards shouldn't tell you what to buy. you're supposed to tell the credit card what to buy. thats the point i think

Corp accountant here, Investor Relations is the team that is legally obligated to handle investor concerns. If you have a fund with MC or Visa in it, I suggest calling and demanding to know what your compensation will be for the reduction in Earnings Per Share caused by cutting off income streams (:

The experience of being queer in indie games is you can build a little space, you can spend years building it, you can make an entire thriving community there, and it can be wiped away into nothing because one person somewhere shrugged one day and was like "eh… no more queers"

This is how. Greta Thunberg spits fire and gives you the only media training you may ever need.

as if calling it “slime mold” wasn’t mean enough already 😩

d’oh! if you live in the US, don’t buy, say, a used camera from an international seller on eBay. 🙃 bcuz tariffs.

happy mother's day

spoke to badru, the indie dev who recently decided to pull a game he considers his "baby" from xbox in solidarity with bds. he told me the team has received such enthusiastic support that they've already made back money lost, and he hopes other indies will follow their lead

Everybody wants to see my enemiiiiees 🎵

Meteorology, Brett Fieldcamp’s solo post-rock project, makes its live debut of its first album “Every Last Monday” this Saturday at Mycelium Gallery. | Matthew Viriyapah previews the performance

We've confirmed the US Bureau of Prisons has transferred trans women to men's prisons despite three court rulings blocking Trump's executive order “I’m continuing to be punished for existing. I'm a pawn in others' political games" -Whitney, 31-year-old woman taken to men's prison this week, told us

The stuff going down right now w the striking New York prison guards sounds pretty scary. This is a good account by an incarcerated writer of what it means: defector.com/what-the-cor...

Another world is possible and some people are living into it already.
