Today is the last day! Less than 11 hours left!

I'm old. If you're not, listen to this. Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder. Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever. It's literally never been more important.

🦃🎮 Creator Day returns this Friday with the start of our Black Friday 2025 Sitewide Sale. For 24 hours we'll waive our free on all transactions. Over 15,000 projects to be on sale from this Friday through December 3rd. More details here itch.io/blog/1124058/creator...

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

The tightrope walk of "I think that capitalizing on nostalgia has an impactful erasure of artists still alive today" and "nostalgia and retroversion can be an excellent tool to teach you what conveniences and automations you don't need in current day to live a fulfilled experience" is me rn.

I am looking for music to license for Wanderlust. The music will be featured on an in-game radio. No genre requirements but: - Songs must have lyrics. - Preferably Non-English. If you are interested or know somebody that would, please DM me. Reposts are appreciated. #playdate #indiedev #gamedev

You’re not a failure. Drawing is a skill you can learn. Draw something cute.

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage: doodlemancy.dreamwidth.org/20757.html 🚯 #NoAI #HumanArtists #ArtistsOnBluesky

A reminder that the Gachapon zine is available until December 1st 🩵🩷🤍 #gachaponzine Itchio: megazumi-world.itch.io/gachapon-col... Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/s/6dec2e4009

somebody made this video. they poured hours into recording and editing. they reminded us that our art is important. they reminded us that our humanity is important. they gave us a sign to keep making. keep making. keep living. (great vid, @nocapsbb.bsky.social) youtu.be/eRMpZc0Qzkg

Remember if you truly despise GenAI and its outputs you need to put a lot more time celebrating and lifting all the artists not using it and trying there best and learning. Share their art like that art and just talk about the stuff you like and enjoy. Don’t let the anger of GenAi stop that.

HEY ARTISTS!! me and a friend made a website to help you maintain self care while you work, check it out! ^^ (and thanks to @fourleafisland.art for letting us use the minnow design and for inspiring the concept!) smeedlesmeelder.neocities.org/minnow-clocks

hi bsky, i have a dumb idea that has been bouncing around in my head for a while but i don't have the skill to make it myself it would require someone who can produce dubstep or edm music we can discuss prices in DMs (personal work, not commercial) #trap #edm #music #dubstep #dancemusic

This was fun. 46 tris, 128x128 texture.

My friend Logan has opened commissions to cover the cost of some medical bills. He's great at drawing cute critters. Details are at the link below. Any shares are appreciated! megazumi-world.neocities.org

The puzzle-packed Confounding Calendar returns soon!

#TwitchTogetherForGood is back! 🎮We've organized another of Twitch's largest raid trains! Starting Monday November 17th, over 50 trans-identifying streamers will showcase their talents in relay, 24hrs a day, all week long, to support Trans Lifeline. 🏳️‍⚧️✨ Join us at www.peer2peer.live.

THE GAME IS OUT, I REPEAT, THE GAME IS OUT Hopefully I squashed all the bugs, hope everyone enjoys it! store.steampowered.com/app/2980260/...

here's a little reminder that the app Too Good To Go helps connect folks with huge discounts on restaurant food when things are about to expire - might be useful while SNAP benefits are still not being paid out in some states #food #foodsecurity #mutualaid www.toogoodtogo.com/en-us

I made a twitch account for @charittrpgs.bsky.social and for now it will just be used for mutlistreaming purposes when I go live but one day this might change. twitch.tv/chariTTRPGs

This is a great read. Also: important to realise that this industry has become *persistently terrifying* for your favourite devs, and that is no atmosphere in which to be creative. Try to buy games, if you're able. Buy lots of games. Review and share them if you love them. Talk about them.

YOU MATTER. and to my chronically ill, disabled, closeted, homebound, or otherwise "invisible" friends & folks... you are ✨ valuable ✨ I refuse to submit myself to a system that says that productivity determines worth. Fuck that. You exist, and you are a TREASURE. Nothing is required of you.

The game I have been co-developing, Isleward, is finally coming to Steam If the idea of a roguelike mmo intrigues you, please wishlist it. It really helps us out 💜

Hi Everyone, I'm hosting the Jamaica Disaster Relief jam on itchio and its currently open to submissions until November 16th. itch.io/jam/disaster... All Games and Ttrpgs are welcome ^_^ The bundle will be supporting the Support Jamaica Official Disaster Relief #JamReliefBundle #charity

Isleward is coming to Steam! Leading up to the Steam release, we want to polish up both the new player experience and add more end-game content for the current players to enjoy. Please wishlist it if you can, it really helps us out! store.steampowered.com/app/1248830/... #gamedev #indiedev #mmo

if you go through the historical game studies record, you'll find attempts to strictly define games (generally around "goals" or "struggle") to be entwined with systemic racism, imperialism, and the enshrinement 19th/20th century patriarchal values

nothin like writing a good song and listening to that sucker for 30 minutes straight

hello! i made a bunch of papercraft-y emojis, and put them in a Discord server, if you want them! (i will never ping anyone, and the server is read-only) discord.gg/wGEMQrKRR7

Gray Fox in the Shoreline ink and digital color

Look at that! XTRIS is in the picture!! It's now $3!! If you have it wishlisted, now is a great time to pick it up! 🔥❎✨ #playdate #xtris #gamedev #indiedev

Hey I’m looking for people to rate and review Dungeon Wilds on itch and would be happy to hand out free download keys for the cause! Any volunteers?

#savespeech I'm on board. Are you all?

Hate the argument of "Well you can boycott for now, but soon every game studio is going to use genAI and you won't be able to tell or avoid it anymore!!" dude there are already more videogames in existence than I'm ever going to be able to play in my lifetime. this boycott shit is easy.

If you’ve enjoyed an indie game please consider leaving a review on Steam. It does massively help and the devs and community teams love to read them. Especially around launch when everyone is knackered, a lovely review is such an energy boost.

itch.io is having a Halloween sale for the next week on 14,000+ items. If you've never used Itch, it's a platform hosting LOTS of indie video games, TTRPGs, books, comics, music, assets, and more.

Friendly reminder for those looking to host their comic on a website. Neocities and Nekoweb are good sites that offer free hosting. Rarebit provides a free open source JS code to use with your HTML/CSS site. rarebit.neocities.org There are plenty of free HTML/CSS templates to play with online

A late night reminder that I have a website! I just wrote up a blog post but there's also lots of other fun stuff to check out 🐬 #neocities #indieweb

Really interesting case study of a "cozy" game and how seemingly small artistic decisions can carry lots of artistic meaning

Working on compiling an Xmas wishlist right now. In past years, I'd put specific items on an Amazon wishlist -- this year, it's just plain text that lists non-specific items, areas of interest, and most excitingly, the shops of cool artists I've found online.

I'm late to sharing this as I was away from social media for a bit but I'm a part of this zine! I'm very grateful for the opportunity and everyone's critters are so cool!! Please give it a look 😊💕 (You can even see the weird little cat I designed on the right of the cover! hehe... 😼)

There is such good looking stuff on this site!

Going to make a thread of free software that's useful for making zines (writing, illustrating, image processing, laying out, publishing...) Different operating systems. Let's go...

Made a little trailer for my new book. It's kinda scrappy but i'm happy with it!

Cancelled Adobe. Done with Amazon and Netflix. Currently working on leaving Microsoft and Google. It's difficult sometimes, but so are the many paths that make life healthier and richer. It's easier when you set small goals and stay kind to yourself. We all have power to make things better.

Calling all streamers and content creators! Want to play HYPERBEAT, our story-driven precision rhythm game, before launch? We’re sending out early access keys, creators of all sizes, please apply! Link in the replies👇

Hello to bsky 👋 I made Garden Galaxy, a sandbox game where you collect and create with tons of randomised decorations!
