Happy Holidays one and all, see you in 2026! 😌

When you're just minding your own business and #discord hits you with seasonal notifications 😅🤨

So I messed up this week. Launched TYG on Tuesday. Huge Success. 🥳 But.. Failed to show up to something important! 😭 Check your diaries. Nothing is worth not being there.😔

2 days after the debut of #TeaseYaGame, and people still out here teasing their games 🥰😌

It's important to remember: PYG (& TYG) are not going to magically make you viral. They're days of the year where we celebrate video games; and diversity and global effort of indies. 🥰 Pitch / Tease without expectation, anything else is a bonus. 😤

Breaking: #TeaseYaGame IS Live! 🚀 Open to ALL games, across the globe. Time to show the world your #VideoGames! 🥰

Hey #TeaseYaGame ! I'm so excited to reveal my new game project! Trinket Bag Maker is a cozy game where you create bags inspired by the 2000's fashion games ✨ 👜 Pick your bag model 🎨 Customize the color/pattern 🌸 Add lots of charms Thank you @liamtwose.bsky.social & @indiegamelover.com 💜

Doh, also just realised, launched ⁠the #TeaseYaGame debut on the same day as #TrailerTuesday. 🤠 Out of respect we will move future ones to Friday to coincide with PYG. 😎

[Cut to Jon Hamm trend. 😌]

Indies don't have $1 million dollars for a Game Awards Trailer, so we launched #PitchYaGame and now #TeaseYaGame. 😤

Breaking: #TeaseYaGame IS Live! 🚀 Open to ALL games, across the globe. Time to show the world your #VideoGames! 🥰

Less than 12 hours till #TeaseYaGame. 😤

We are now less than 24 hours away from #TeaseYaGame. 😤 #Gamedev: Who's ready? Nb: this could either go 📈 or 📉

Might be a good opportunity to reuse those 15 second mini trailers, for those who participated in the event!

5.6 years of #PitchYaGame and only 2 days to wait until you can #TeaseYaGame. 😤 AMA?! 😎

If you can't financially support yourself and/or can't afford to budget for, make, localise, test, publish, market, release your game / enter Game Awards You're probably indie. If you don't have to think / worry about much (or any) of the above.. You're probably not indie.

Some tips ahead of #TeaseYaGame 👀 1. Live 16th Dec 2025 (Starts 12PM GMT UK) 2. Open to all games 3. Schedule if needed 3. TYG = short punchy teasers 4. PYG = detail fuller pitches 5. GIFs/Short vids = Perfect 6. Post multiplatform 8. Try not to hit & run; Engage 9. Pin it!

5.6 years of #PitchYaGame and only 2 days to wait until you can #TeaseYaGame. 😤 AMA?! 😎

Live announcements ARE locked in. 😤 part nervous, part excited. Would love to see TYG go off the charts.

Ohhh, this is perfect, I might use the opportunity to tease something I have been wanting to tease for sometime now!!!!

Some things will work. Most wont. Important part is to try. 😤 30DayDev: Blew up 4y motivational drive Gamedevology: flopped 7DayDev: never took off 30daydev: failed revival #PitchYaGame: Global success overnight 5.6y strong #XDayDev: Jury still out #TeaseYaGame: Here's hoping!

One of the best feelings ever, and the reason we continue doing this nearly 6 years later, IS witnessing developers from all over the world engage with PYG, TYG et al. 🥰 People often say "Build it and they will come". Well we built it.. and the WORLD showed up! 😤

Ready to blow you away! 🍃

4 days till #TeaseYaGame drops.. 😎

Truly appreciate all the love and support you're all showing for the upcoming debut of #TeaseYaGame. It's always daunting launching something new, will it work, won't it; We move, regardless. Right now it feels like we're right back in 2020, before launching #PitchYaGame! 😤

A new event for indie game devs! This looks like fun, I'm super hyped to see what gets posted~ #indiedev #indiegamedev #gamedev #videogames #TeaseYaGame

Let's goo!!! Going to cook a nice teaser for this 🔥 #indiedev Feel free to repost the OG thread to help the event get some extra traction! ❤️‍🔥 #indiegamedev #gamedev #videogames #TeaseYaGame

Lol I thought about changing my name to Mr #TeaseYaGame, but erm... 😅

The easiest thing to do would be to roll over and accept our fate. Not on my watch. 😤 Look out 2026. I'm coming for ya! 🔥

Breaking: New era of video games is upon us. Time to adapt. Introducing #TeaseYaGame; open to ALL #VideoGames. 3 x a year. Lite version of PYG; Jan, Apr, Sep. PLUS: Special December teaser edition! June & November WILL remain as #PitchYaGame. 🫡 Live next Tuesday! Who's ready?! 🥳

There'll be a moment in your life, where you will be making the next best video game; You know it, your gut knows it. It's important, That. You. Execute. On it. If you can't, then you find the people who can help you. That game will be like #EscapeSimulator. That failing was mine. 🧐

Breaking: #Xdaydev starts TODAY. 🃏 Sunday/Monday: 1. Post a goal you’ll crush in the next X days 2. Tag #Xdaydev 3. Life, #GameDev, work, wild, impossible, life-changing; Doesn’t matter!✅ We'll be watching. Updates, or we'll hold you to it. Time to get shit done. Who's in? 😤

To all out there who embrace video games. Whether you play them, make them, design, work, test, support, voice, audio / music, localise, market, fund / publish, cover, showcase, stream, et al. Know that you are integral; We as an industry salute you. Excited for 2026. 🥰

Wanna know what people think? Pitch it. Want to get published? Pitch it. Need funding? Pitch it. Want the world to see it? Pitch it. ...to care? Pitch it. Life is 'A Series of Unfortunate Pitches', until one hits. 😤 #PitchYaGame #PitchYaMovie #PitchYaMusic #PitchYaBook et al

192 days till the next PYG, what you getting done? 😤

My next game must be good, I've just had to close like 50+ open UE tabs. 🔥😅

Any big brand(s) want to help me revive the #PYGAwards. 🧐 Caveat: it's about investing in t'future of indie games worldwide. Pure Awards Stream, no prizes. Post-indie game world premieres, trailers plus supporting Steam Event. I'd 100% do it again BUT need support to prioritize #PitchYaGame. 😤

Hey #GameDev, want a super quick way to squash your video games' bugs?! Show it to someone. I can pretty much guarantee that's when ALL your games' bugs will surface!! 🐛 Want to uncover even more, let them play it! 😅 Want to go even further? demo it live, somewhere. 😶

Breaking: The #PitchYaGame Sheet is LIVE. 🧐 1800+ indie game posts to browse / search across X and BSky from November. Massive Kudos, as always, to IGL 🔥

Platforms are free. They don't owe anyone, anything. 😤 But.. they CAN, and DO, open doors for people. 🔥

Petition for everyone to focus less on the platform algorithm(s) and more on the quality, consistency, variety, and overall journey / story behind what we share / talk about. 🔥 If all we do is PLUG, plug, plug, how can we expect t'algos to care, let alone the world?! 🤔

Dates for #PitchYaGame in 2026 🗓️ - 5th June 2026 - 6th November 2026 Announcements as always go out at 12PM UK time (remembering to factor daylight savings). pitchyagame.com for reference or sub to our email reminders at pitchyagame.substack.com

Real Talk: if you post on platform(s) expecting results, you're prob gonna be super disappointed. Its getting exponentially harder to get noticed. Even trends like #PitchYaGame aren't enough to cut it. Platforms change constant. Post regardless. Anything else is a bonus. 👀

Been another "incredible" day for indie games. 🔥 #PitchYaGame is LIVE next - June 5th 2026.

So excited to be a part of #Pitchyagame this year! bsky.app/profile/coal...
