We're part of the Steam Spring Sale with 35% off The Darkest Files! And if you'd like to take it outside, the game runs on the Steam Deck as well 🌞

May I ask to be added, perhaps? I am currently working on my own sci-fi themed indie game. I am still in the concept art stages, so here are some examples of that, if you want to see. 👉👈

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! To celebrate and highlight wonderful women working on games, and because I think we need more of them in the industry, I made this little starter pack: go.bsky.app/FmwtvvV I want to keep adding to it so please suggest more! And yes, trans women are women. #gamedev

Shutaro Ida aka "Curry the Kid" leaves behind an enormous legacy and his passing is a major loss for video games. His work has accompanied me most of my life and I'm saddened by these news. I can however surely say that he will be remembered for his outstanding contributions to metroidvanias. RIP.

You can believe and do what you want. But science says: Renewables, though necessary, won't be enough. We need to change our food systems. #Vegan is the way. Stop factory farming. Stop eating animals. It's not that hard. #climatechange www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/late...

We are alarmed as well. If you are in Germany, write to your representatives. You'll find the email addresses here: 👉 tuta.com/blog/chat-co...
