There is something poignantly dystopian about these hundreds of comments wishing Merry Christmas to an AI dog as it prepares dinner, engaging with AI art as if it were real.

This is incredible! I used to do crazy shit like this to fake 3D in my games before realizing it's just easier to actually learn Blender and work in 3D

Well, now I have something new to shout when startled.

One thing AI has ruined for me is random photos like this because they're no longer special now that you can generate something similar in a couple seconds. Absurdism has lost its charm a bit.

In 1965 Coca-Cola produced one of the most iconic Christmas shorts ever and in 2025 they produced universally-hated AI slop. From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Charl...

47 games played on Steam and somehow still 2 fewer than last year! 😱 #steamreplay

We've been working on a cozy game with my friend for a while :) Venny's Vinyl Shop is a shopkeeper simulator where you draw and design vinyl covers based on your customers' needs! #indiedev #gamedev

Last weekend I had the opportunity to explore the bay by boat and was treated to this view of the mountain from the sea...

I forgot to post photos from Playtopia last week! What an insanely awesome festival! Truly a celebration of weird and wonderful indie games and works of art. I look forward to this every year and this year did not disappoint. 🙌🏻😍

I might just jingle some of the way this year

Rollcadium at @playtopia.bsky.social My first game submitted, so interesting to watch people try it.

I just completed "Printing Department" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/4 Still going! ⭐💪

My game Rollcadium will be playable at @playtopia.bsky.social this weekend! It's also free to play over on Itch.io right now 👉 miltage.itch.io/rollcadium

I just completed "Secret Entrance" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/1 Let's see how far I can get this year! ⭐

This looks so good! And the animation is done by a local Cape Town studio! 😍👏 www.kickstarter.com/projects/cok...

The growing popularity of @godotengine.org - as indicated by the rising number of Steam releases built in Godot each year. From www.reddit.com/r/godot/comm...

This was mostly in jest. UE is a fine engine if you wanna create high fidelity titles, but unless you have an absolutely beefy machine and TBs of free space, forget about it! 😭😭 Would still pick it over Unity.

Day 12 of not having to open Unreal Engine. Colours seem brighter. I can taste foods again.

Blender is struggling. it's the best piece of 3d software on the market, and it's free. I'm not going back to autodesk. please donate if you can! fund.blender.org

Just unearthed this putt-putt game I made in Flash back in 2010 when I was still in high school! I haven't seen this game in 15 years but I will formally apologise for the shade of green. I'd been dabbling in Flash for a couple years and I'm sure this is the first game I actually finished.

Steam can't tell if a release date is in the future.

Our demo is live! 🎉🎉

'Hollow Knight: Silksong' has a boss named Seth who is a tribute to a fan who passed away from cancer Team Cherry collaborated with Seth before his death to bring his character into the game

Spring is almost here, the flowers are in bloom, and last Sunday I got to hike through fields of them for 7 hours! 🌸🌼⛰️

Release your game alongside Silksong - everyone who doesn't care about Hollow Knight needs something to play and your game will be the only new release

Herdling is OUT NOW! We’re stoked to finally invite you on this journey 🐐🦬🐏⛰️ Get the game now on Steam, Epic Game Store, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S or Game Pass, links below! We’ll give away 5 Steam keys among everyone who reposts this 🎉🎉🎉

The earliest known Easter egg in software in general is one placed in the "make" command for PDP-6/PDP-10 computers sometime in October 1967–October 1968, where if the user attempts to create a file named "love" by typing "make love", the program responds "not war?" before proceeding.

In the last decade I've released more than 160 packs of 2D sprites and 50+ packs of 3D models - they're all completely free to use by anyone for anything! Not thinking of stopping anytime soon, it's a lot of fun and the community support is fantastic! ✨ kenney.nl/assets

After ~5 months, I released a new build of my dice game yesterday and wrote about some of the changes (including a new name!) in this devlog post: miltage.itch.io/rollcadium/d...

We're excited to announce that applications are open for the Draknek New Voices Puzzle Grant 2025 🎉 The grant will award $15,000 to five thinky puzzle game developers from all over the world, and a year's mentorship with genre veterans. Deadline: September 28th More info 👇 grants.draknek.org

"This game that children play has loot boxes which is literal gambling" Payment processors: 🤷🏻‍♂️😁👍🏻 "This game that adults play has NSFW stuff in it" Payment processors: 😱😡🙅🏻‍♂️

“AI will help with pointless interactions like item descriptions and NPC barks” if it’s pointless it shouldn’t be in the game. If there’s nothing interesting about something, cut it

So I remember being worried about naming my dice game too similar to Balatro, its inspiration, but now I've seen this store.steampowered.com/app/3140120/...

@nyamakop.co.za Enjoy some cinematics stills from the announcement trailer. Big shout out to the art team! #Relooted #Indiegame #summergamesfest

The game we've been quietly working on for years has been announced! 🎉😭 Wishlists and sharing appreciated 🙏❤️ store.steampowered.com/app/3255890/...

Watching GTMK's breakdown of Blue Prince and it only just clicked for me that Blue Prince = Blueprints. I haven't played the game but always wondered where the title fit in. 🤔 www.youtube.com/watch?v=9K7z...

Will I understand the Switch 2 if I haven't played the Switch 1?

If social media is our generation's "smoking" (everyone does it but it's bad for our mental health) then AI will probably be our CFCs. At least we will be able to generate a photo of a planet with polar ice caps... 😅

Meet Flibbius McDoogle and feast your eyes on our new trailer! ⚒️Craft items 🧩Solve puzzles 🌟make friends Any shares to get more eyes on this would be so appreciated by our tiny team 🙏 And big thanks to our friends at Lung Animation who made our GLORIOUS opening cinematic! #indiegame #cozygame

What if an actual wizard went on Penn & Teller's FOOL US

You heard it here first! Just dropped v0.5 of Roll or Nothing over on @itch.io miltage.itch.io/roll-or-noth... Okay, technically you heard it second. The 3 people on my Discord server heard it first 🤣

Anyone else kinda prefer making games over playing them?? Like whenever I have a free hour or two I almost always wanna boot up Godot and prototype some idea I've had instead of digging into my very dusty Steam library...

Just about ready to release a new build for Roll or Nothing, so here's a sneak peek at one of the features coming in this weekend's update: boss rounds! #gamedev #godotengine

Was just thinking about how I take technology for granted these days. Having a portable device that you can speak to and give commands was something that only existed in spy films when I was a kid, and now everyone has one. Pretty crazy.

Went to an art gallery yesterday. Decided to Google the name of the artist to read about later. This morning I realized I Googled the print style and not the artist 🤣

Devlog don't show your cat challenge (impossible)

Load shedding corrupted my OS last week and I've just realised that means I've lost the music project files for Roll or Nothing (everything else was backed up). Guess I'm redoing all the music! 🕺🎶

I played 20+ games during the February Steam Next Fest to figure out what makes a great demo (and what ruins one). Here are 9 key lessons you should know Thread 👇🏽🧵 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames
