Amberspire is out on May 6th! 🌇 Construct buildings, manage resources, and build in harmony with an alien ecology. Beneath the glow of a gas giant, Amberspire will grow and prosper into a flourishing city atop the ruins of an abandoned moon. Wishlist now on Steam!

See all those buildings? @nictringali.bsky.social and I have written hundreds of ways they can collapse into the mausoleum beneath, leaving geographical reminders of your city’s history as well as impacting the political machinations of factions 😌 Which can be experienced on MAY 6✨

We heard some folks get nervous about attending gaming events in person, for a lot of reasons. @heartimecia.bsky.social has some hard-earned advice for having fun, being respectful, and getting the most out of cons like GDC. www.mothership.blog/game-develop...

I was, shall we say, “slightly resistant” to receiving help after this money was stolen from me, but I’ve been sufficiently cowed by friends privately chewing me out for shame and pride. Dylan has kindly offered to do this for me, and many others have wanted to help directly. Options in replies.

As ever, but particularly today, from one union worker to hopefully others soon...

OK then

Steam community: “Can we play as a male character?” Me (indie dev in this economy): “Best I can do is sentient tofu.”

Amberspire, our dice driven science fantasy city builder, will release MAY 6! Roll dice, grow a city, forge alliances, interact with an ecology, and read a history of the future. PC, Mac, Steam Deck - May 6! s.team/a/3350750

after four months of private discussions, I have an update on the Bundler and RubyGems situation with Ruby Central: andre.arko.net/2026/03/03/fou…

Deck builders are meant to elicit a sense of snowballing strength. What if one used its mechanics instead to explore loss and grief? @walshbr.bsky.social's debut on @gamerswithglasses.bsky.social is a banger.

Welcome new contributor @walshbr.bsky.social! Check out his thoughts on Death Howl and how its rules and development build up its story.

Hello. Me again (Hattie) (works here) (still sick). The doctor called with important info. He said, when you play our game, it will heal me FASTER if you use multiple modifier cards to remix your story. He also mentioned something called "amoxicillin" which felt unimportant! Okay, have fun playing.

*sigh* great. There’s obviously some sort of device nearby I’m gonna need to use this on to compete a puzzle so I gotta lug it to the leftist coffee shop and bookstore with me

Hello, it's me, Hattie. The person who does social media for Hidden Door. I'm SUPER sick today. But the doctor said if you go to hiddendoor.co, and play our game, it MIGHT heal me INSTANTLY?! Wild thing for a doctor to say! Anyway. Please play so I may return to putting toys on my cat's head

hi all, i'm in a really bad spot and i could use some help covering bills and getting something to eat 🖤 ty ko-fi.com/gothfemme

Big ditto here. Saying "Indies are the future, AAA doesn't matter" doesn't acknowledge the many ways indie can also be unsustainable/exploitative--and it doesn't respect the craft of AAA devs! So many cool people making incredibly cool things that couldn't exist otherwise!! Solidarity is important.

Wow, it only took ONE snow day for the Hidden Door NYC team to get restless and add @mayor.nyc.gov  to the game. That's a good reminder: earn money by being an emergency snow shoveler! Here's how:

In many cases, the Flock destruction was clearly intended as a public message, as in Eugene, OR, where the saboteurs left note at the scene that read "Hahaha get wrecked ya surveilling fucks." The message was carried on the local news. At the end of the year, Eugene terminated its Flock contract.

Video games often have floating platforms, but they don’t explain why the platforms are floating. That’s where game writers come in, to say that platforms are kept aloft by “ghostium” an invisible fog created by the souls of every dead person

Cube 4 a Cause day 2! At the coverage draft, currently 2-0 in the 100 Ornothopters cube by @andy.luckypaper.co Watch my finals match soon (likely versus the reigning champion @improphilo.bsky.social ): twitch.tv/luckypapermagic

Happy 40th anniversary to "The Legend of Zelda" (released on February 21, 1986).

Our latest blog post teaches you about the 10 modifier cards ALL players have RIGHT NOW in their starter decks. It also contains a link to a pretty good cover of "Vampire" by Olivia Rodrigo. 10/10 blog post, no notes

sex mods for the sims 4 are nearly as popular as the base game itself. i spoke to the creator of the biggest one, wicked whims, and several players who use the mods to talk about why people seek out sex in the sims.

What, exactly, are modifier cards? How do we use them? Are there any for fans of Die Hard? Our first blog post on modifiers will walk you through the 10 cards in your "starter deck." Click! Read! Learn! With a vengeance!

looking for a Sims-related anecdote for something I’m writing so I fire up the game. rich guy having a midlife crisis proposes to an *ahem* mercenary actress who immediately disappears into the bathroom to do ketamine. their wedding goes so badly that he gets so mad he almost dies
