Meet my game in 20 seconds. That's Paper Rogue, an indie roguelike where you fight, kick enemies into traps, loot gear, and drink potions off the floor. Turns out heroes have questionable drinking habits 😂 Demo available soon #indiegames #roguelike #gameplay #dungeoncrawler #gamedev #rpg #devlog

When I speak about racism I've experience in Ireland quite often I'll get a comments like: "Sure you're more Irish than them" or "I bet they can't even speak Irish like you". Here's why I ask you to not make these kind of comments anymore:

It's Bealtaine. Jump the fires of the sun on earth. Burn away the dark spirits that have black moulded to your back. Keep that morning dew on your tongue and drive your cattle to grassy pastures. Protect the flame of today, in your heart, for another year.

I'm pleased to announce Dronelord Hyperviber is getting a full release and is now available to wishlist on Steam. If you haven't played the 7DFPS version I just released an update on itch! If you've already played and loved the itch version please wishlist! store.steampowered.com/app/4672170/...

It's official, my nomination is in! I'll be on the ballot in the Galway West by-election. Make the government pay for their multiple crises and demand a Galway we can live in. Vote People Before Profit no.1 and then transfer to other Left candidates

Here's the April update to the technique. The main new addition is the use of a procedural flow map to inform brush stroke length and direction.

30 years ago Richard Garfield released the game he considers his masterpiece. invented to fix all the problems he saw in magic the gathering, a game he pitched in a moment of panic when robo rally got turned down. still the best game ever made

I'm glad to see these more in depth product blogs taking place from middleware. Too often this sort of information is hidden to developers if they aren't in a big team or directly working on the code. You get to see a) the typical issues and b) the better solutions. www.havok.com/blog/how-hav...

I got around to playing this last week. It's fun! There are plenty of interesting choices and I like the feedback loop of defeated enemies becoming friends. Figuring out when to push forward and how to time the use of friends as wildcards to fix your hand was key for me. Demo recommended!

Fan of Guild of Dungeoneering but sad we never brought the 2021 remaster to mobile? Well good news, it's coming! If you'd like to take part in a closed beta on mobile sign up here: forms.gle/MMCk2HCXT5JK...

Most indie devs are terrified of showing bugs. I just posted a video where hundreds of keys fly into a mushroom monster's face, deal zero damage, and he kills us anyway. I have a theory: people don't share perfect gameplay. They share the moment everything went wrong. Demo ships in April. #indiegame

How many ways can you kill a mimic? 1) Bow from a distance, 2) sword face to face, 3) or boot first and spear second. Which one is yours? Paper Rogue demo in April. Wishlist link in bio. #indiegame #indiedev #roguelike #rpg #dungeoncrawler #indiegames

Was just chatting with a taxi driver about this and it seems about 1000 taxi drivers have come together so far to create an alternative to the big apps. They hoping to bring more drivers in but they need people to use it. He asked that ppl try this app first! apps.apple.com/ie/app/tap-a...

As the #GamesFromIreland Steam Event begins to wind down, we’d like to highlight some more of the amazing games made in Ireland. From the gothic co-op horror of Eyes of Hellfire to the cozy stop-motion adventure Éalu, Ireland continues to offer games that can’t be found anywhere else.

Here's a work in progress video of the technique in action. vimeo.com/1175098049

Here's a rendering technique I've been toying with over the last couple of months in Unreal. It will be used in the upcoming game "Valley of the Lost Abbey" by @rucach.bsky.social The effect is calculated at runtime with the goal of making any scene look more painterly. #UE5 #GameDev #UnrealEngine

It's absurd that this is being presented as some sort of positive or moment of ingenuity. This thing is guzzling gas. We need to ban these outright.

Over the last few months we've been putting together a little game called Kitman: a 1-4 player sports management simulator set in the backrooms of a soccer stadium ⚽ www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dwz...

This is what the market-led policies of Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil have given us. They've put the profits of landlords and investment funds above ordinary people. That's why I've decided to run in the Galway West by-election. It's time we had a radical shift in housing policy that puts people first.

Hi there! Thanks for hosting #TurnBasedThursday & I'm super excited for your demo, Alchemice looks stunning!! I see your demo is out on March 5th - ours for Sparrow Warfare is out on the 6th & we made a tiny video about that choice that you might relate to 😅 store.steampowered.com/app/3473440/...
