We have walked past a Code Ninjas for years. Finally, Code Ninjas called @patrickklepek.bsky.social up and offered to let his daughter try it out www.crossplay.news/p/code-ninja...

Feeling very lucky lately. I’m just one indie dev, but I’m backed by an amazing community. Thanks for all the love, support, and shares, it truly keeps me going 🌸 Let’s keep building together, RT to spread the indie love🙏💜 #IndieGames #SoloDev #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDev #PixelArt

I hang out with so many game devs and marketeers that I always (mistakenly) assume this is common knowledge. If you want to do a gamedev a gigantic favor that costs you literally nothing but 3min of your time, write them a Steam review. ESPECIALLY if they have less than 500 or so.

RE that RT.. it’s wild how steam reviews are still so damn important to getting visibility. If you play and like indie games, the most generous and helpful thing you can do is spend an hour popping positive reviews onto anything you like with <500 or so reviews.

Biased but hard agree

First update of the year! Mostly focused on improving touchscreen support, but lots of other improvements here too store.steampowered.com/news/app/240...

I Can Count To Five is coming this year, and heavily features this cutie. What should we name them?? #deckbuilder #cardgame #indiegames

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.

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!
