Sleepless nights, immeasurably stress, and a few too many energy drinks. But goddamn, y’all. Sure, we produce and organize it. But The IGAs is so much bigger than a single organization. I cannot wait to show you the amount of collaboration that’s being poured into round two.

We're going live in 90 minutes for our second Debut Devs showcase; focusing on games from first-time #indiegamedev teams youtu.be/xr3NpzOjy3o. We'll be looking at and providing feedback on @bartysadventure.bsky.social Sleeping with the Phish, @fromhellstudio.com and Samira Come Home

Check out the Barty's Adventure demo during the Debut Devs Showcase Stream, hosted by @gwbycer.bsky.social! Stream goes live in a couple of hours at the link below: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr3N... Excited to be part of the mix! #indiegames #cozygames #wholesomegames #metroidvania

Wait wait wait… I always thought that Mario Kart was the sport. Is it referring to the one character?

Everything about making video games is harder than you think.

Started and finished this last night. At least three times, my wife came into the office and asked what was even happening on the screen. One of the best gaming experiences I had this year.

😍

For @crossplayblog.bsky.social, I wrote about how I've navigated fear and bravery with my oldest kid—when to push, when to back off, when to offer bribes—because she's asking me a fun question: "When am I old enough for a haunted house?" Good question. www.crossplay.news/p/when-is-a-...

Thank you so much for the kind words! 🐻

Gotta always thank @kanaratron.bsky.social for firing this out. I admittedly get a huge motivation jolt when I open the app and see a bunch of new faces. This starter pack has been an absolute beast in boosting the Barty lovers here on Bluesky. Thanks dev buddy, and welcome new friends!

I just finished my first game jam game: The Sun Keeps Exploding! - grab asteroids - repair your ship - turn your claw into a drill - die when the sun explodes (again) Play it now on itch: encifer.itch.io/the-sun-keep...

Hard for me fault anyone who doesn’t know good games exist when almost no major gaming website reviewed or covered this year’s Seamus McNally Grand Prize winner.

Good morning! Its a whole new week! What better way to start the week than by playing the game described as "I became genuinely worried how much I wanted to strangle the horse" and "is there even a horse in this?" i will strangle a horse A game. By me. brainmage.itch.io/i-will-stran...

just took a peek on the sales and it looks like i’m gonna be posting for the next 1000 years #gaming #indiegames #fyp #gamedev #relatable #indiegamedev

A huge motivation jumpstart to the week as Barty's Adventure's demo was reviewed by @zeldadungeon.net. I've been reading that site for decades now and it's surreal to see them cover my work www.zeldadungeon.net/inspired-by-... A big thanks to @joshwittmershaus.bsky.social for the kind words!

I'm excited to announce that, at long last, Tic Tactic is coming to Steam on September 18th! #indiegames #gamedev #roguelike

Holy Smokes! In just over a month we've now had 100K of you add the Barty's Adventure demo to your library! That's a number I honestly can't comprehend! Thank you all and hope you're having fun exploring The House! So many exclamation marks!! #indiegames #metroidvania #cozygames #notsilksong

So many prominent game releases create a slipstream effect: games in the same genre enjoy a spike of sales the weeks after the release of the Big Title. Releasing a new game in the genre also enjoys the effects. Happy metroidvania season to all those who celebrate! (me. I'm that person)
