This looks like a neat little guide

We took a version of this to a gamedev meet up late last year and it was a great time. Seeing games go past the "here are some cubes" stage of development is always one of my favorite bits

It's nice to be able to look at a project and say "last time we did X, so *this time* we'll do Y"

Re-reading some old copies of @patchmagazine.bsky.social I picked up last year. It really is just a lovely little zine.

Here @rebellion.com @2000ad.bsky.social why aren't there more Judge Dredd / 2000AD games out? Can I make one? (Sinister Dexter?) Whadda I gotta do?

Introducing the Games From Ireland Steam Event, a week-long digital showcase. Running on Steam during St Patrick’s Day 2026, 13th March - 20th March, this is an Imirt-led initiative, developed in collaboration with Irish developers and studios worldwide. www.imirt.ie/news/2026/2/...

I like these Lil robuts.

COOL

In Dublin, on Fenian Street, there's a factory that makes child sex abuse material. You can pay it money, as a subscription, and that's one of the services it offers. This doesn't happen by mistake or because you've tricked or hacked the system. It’s a feature. www.thegist.ie/the-gist-the...

A fine time to pick up our little game for less than a fiver!

Helloo ~🍪 FYI! 'Tree Kingdoms' is now on sale on Steam. From today to the 5th it is 20% off - our biggest discount yet! So if you haven't picked it up yet, now is your chance to grab a sweeet deal if I say so myself. Treat yo' self this Christmas 🎄 Mel ~ store.steampowered.com/app/3477080/...

We're super excited to be returning to the Bagpuss Universe for Yaffle Origins. As mega fans of the Oliver Postbox multiverse, we always dreamed of telling the story of Assistant Professor Yaffle getting his first pair of glasses or whatever. Join us on this barren sphere, in this living death.

Your annual reminder that Tiny Tim did NOT die. He lives on. Over 180 years old. Borne witness to two world wars and the changing of ages. Hollow Horrified Cursed by immortality.

new villagers for my game!

For the first time ever I have seen XCOM : Enemy Unknown, (or as I just call it "XCOM"), referred to as XCOM:EU And for a brief second, I thought: Xcom EU? Like a Europe dlc?

I'm starting to think it wasn't a good idea to put all the world's communications in the hands of three American companies www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

So, we have news... Season 3 is in the works. We have been working very hard on it. Wishlist it now! #indigames #gamedev #adventuregames store.steampowered.com/app/3990360/...

ICYMI: this is very obviously a crisis every bit as emergent - and indivisible from - climate breakdown.

Finally @proton.me drive has spreadsheets! Praise be! Slowly slowly crawling @biscuitfactorygames.com out from under the thumb of google....

I'd love it if we could get @imirt.bsky.social 's Curator Page on #Steam to 1000 followers before #Christmas ! #IrishGameDev #IndieDev #GameDev #IrishCreatives #IrishGameDomination #SpeirGhorm #IndieGame store.steampowered.com/curator/4145...

More art Manifestos please

Its December. Which means arguments about what counts as a Christmas movie. Did you know Batman Returns is a Christmas movie? True story.

Had the pleasure of getting to see some of this early in development and to chat to the team a bit as part of @imirt.bsky.social 's Indie Dev programme. An interesting take on the genre for sure

It's so obviously caramel digestives

Look, there is absolutely a correct answer to this. I don't know why it's even a debate.

We seriously cannot be allowing companies to monopolise the industry, and then arbitrarily appoint themselves the moral arbiters. A lot of nonsense over the years regarding video game censorship - but, here it is, actual full-blown censorship of art.

Hello lovely Biccies! A sneaky peak at some concepts we're working on! I shan't reveal too many details, you'll just have to follow along to find out more ~ But whatever could this be about? Share you thoughts! Mel~ (Psst! In the meantime join our mailing list - www.biscuitfactorygames.com)

Fun Fact: Did you know that in Japan & Europe, Neon Genesis Evangelion was called Neon Mega Drive Evangelion

Today in "adventures in game dev planning" - The team must answer the question "how do we make these animal people homeless in a way that feels satisfying to a player but not upsettingly cruel?"

hello! freg!

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Today I added the backlog item: "Enemies can attempt to eat cheese and will suffer accordingly" Honestly pretty hyped about some of the stuff we're cooking at @biscuitfactorygames.com

Did I mention that I made a very very stupid and short little game and you can get it from our mailing list? Honeslty I just want folks to have a laugh from it

Ahright enough of this "tech" sht. Time to start swashing some bucklers

Did anyone ever get to the bottom of *why* the writers of Paw Patrol seem to hate Zuma so much?

The 3 types of producer

I just put something half the size of a credit card into my PC and gained 2TB of storage, for like, 100 quid or so. I remember when 128mb was a lot. The advances in storage tech always blow my mind.

Well hello again ~ A sneaky peak at what's to come from Biscuit Factory Games! What do you think these fellas will be up to? What kind of game do you think they would be a part of? Cosy? Chaotic? Straight up silly? Share your thoughts! I know you got 'em 🍪

Look, I'm not saying the game we'll give you for signing up to our mailing list at biscuitfactorygames.com is *good* But it is *stupid* and *short.* Also so far we have a 100% success rate making players at least smirk while blowing a little air out of their noses. Its called Hidden Honks

I'll let you in on a cheeky secret, Mel and I just shipped a little game, and you can get it for free by signing up to our mailing list.

Today was a good day working on @biscuitfactorygames.com 's upcoming projects.

Here's how we handle manchildren on the Steam forums at No More Robots:

Feeling both seen and attacked by @crossplayblog.bsky.social God forbid a man have hobbies... etc etc

This fella @ivanfisher-owen.bsky.social has just released a game of unreasonable artistic ambition. A point and click adventure made using stop motion and HAND CARVED WOODEN PIECES. Only a madman would try such a thing. Its called Éalú. Give it a look. store.steampowered.com/app/3560370/...
