Every year I take some time to write a review about it and my expectations for the next one personally and for my projects. I mention both Cleared Hot and Ship Miner in my review, here it is if you want to read it: arielcoppes.dev/2025/12/26/r...

What indie games should I buy for Xmas break? Tell me you game and I will buy it

Wishlist on Steam! (We'll have a new demo for Steam Next Fest!) store.steampowered.com/app/4157850/...

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

So @mikerose.bsky.social & I decided to do a silly podcast comparing notes about indie games & their history & also about suddenly being middle-aged & tired As anyone who knows both of us could have guessed, shenanigans ensued immediately Introducing ⭐ Mike & Rami Are Still Here ⭐ mikeandrami.com

Bennethon made these super cute games using his kids for the voices, they started from PowerQuest jams and they're really fun, easily worth a few bucks!

Matt found the original "brainstorming document" for FTL - Written on a big roll of paper in his apartment in Shanghai over beers. You can see a lot of the foundational ideas there, but this was before we even pictured having ship-to-ship combat.

Pinball Spire was a ~2 year project, mostly solo, and I had publisher funding for about 1 of those years. It's been out for over half a year now and I'm nowhere close to making back the development costs, and I'm not sure I ever will.

Whoa. That's a sprite, an elusive, high-altitude electrical discharge from a thundercloud photographed by NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers from the ISS earlier today. With reported sightings going back more than a century, this phenomenon was first photographed in 1989.
