decided to "demake" for #playdate a game i had originally created in Game Builder Garage the objective is to rotate your... ship? thingy? to fit inside of the gate zooming towards you. some kind of analog super hexagon, i suppose! #indiedev #gamedev

using my own Hit Post to remind everyone that i made a Namco-flavored version of the Loopy logo

Big day for people who care about other people

Congrats to the BDS. FREE PALESTINE.

Some memories from #ddc2025! It was such a delight to watch so many players building and showing off their Townbox creations, as well as getting to hang out with tons of cool folks from all over the games industry! We hope to see you all again in the future! ✨ #indiedev #gamedev #cozygames #godot

I guess Cologne was expecting me? 😮

Me when I'm on sticker duty:

what core is this and how do we stop it?

Nearly four years later and Game Builder Garage developers are still cookin’ hard!! youtu.be/0GT5K_YYyYE?...

face card in 2025 means uploading a scan of your face so an AI can determine if you're old enough to post about how you actually think it’s a bad thing to intentionally starve children

hey @ukieofficial.bsky.social, TIGA, BFI, @baftagames.bsky.social & any other bodies representing games & creators -- we need you to speak up & organise & strategize how you're going to defend creators from these pernicious attempts at censorship

Post images of the Nintendo Switch Online: Playtest Program without posting images of the Nintendo Switch Online: Playtest Program. I'll start...

"Maria Socket" from the obscure 80s Namco Animatronic Band taken to various live events feels like she should be some weird niche character who randomly gained a fanbase and thousands of pieces of fanart and then like a 100 dollar figure

Missed a set of original PiCPAC badges on Mercari and legitimately want to cry 😭

it's lowkey embarrassing that nintendo made such a bad typo in that new donkey kong game, that's not how you spell banana!??! THE TYPO IS LITERALLY ON THE BOX AND TITLE SCREEN! 😱😱😱

We're thrilled to announce that we're heading to #devcom as part of the #ddc2025 Indie Expo in Cologne, Germany! Join us on August 18–19 to flex your town planning muscles with a new Townbox demo, and meet some of the VideoDojo Games team throughout the event! 🏡👀 Hope to see you there! ✨

I feel like they'd get along ♥️

We've just received word that Townbox has surpassed 4000 wishlists on Steam! 🎉 We’re absolutely blown away by all the incredible support shown so far, thank you soooo much! 💖✨ ☎️ Wishlist Townbox™ on Steam: s.team/a/2906440 #gamedev #indiegame #cozygames #steam #godot

Did anyone else really want to eat these? I guess they're suppose to been slime-adjacent but they always reminded me more of a some kind of delicious fruit gummy

“There’s always someone out there who will do…what Nintendon’t” If that soul crushingly overused line doesn’t put you off, here’s a trailer for episode 012 of Dialogue Tree, an interview with @supergroovy.net on 4 years of Game Builder Garage, the community around it, and Electroplankton.

If you listen for GBG content and like what you hear, I highly recommend listening to more eps of Dialogue Tree! My personal fav is 'Lateral Thinking: a eulogy for the Nintendo Switch'. It's part history of Nintendo, part personal reflection on the role of games in our changing lives. Great stuff!

oh my god players of game builder garage have put on a nintendo direct and i'm in awe of it

This stuff makes me so happy, now imagine a universe where Nintendo put proper sharing and browsing of builds and makes a Switch 2 version with Mouse Mode support. Someone will scream about Dreams, but I would argue GBG presents itself FAR more accessibly. It presents itself like a toybox of legos.

It was such a treat to chat with @andrewvalentine.cc for Dialogue Tree! Our discussion covers Game Builder Garage, creative games and Townbox, the debut game from @videodojo.games! 🙌✨ I hope you'll take a listen! 👂🌱

This week, something different. In episode 012, I interview @supergroovy.net, the founder of the YouTube channel that became the focal point for a creative community that gave a second life to an almost forgotten game. Meet @videodojo.games, the team that built Game Builder Garage.

👀✨

If your knee-jerk reaction to artists despairing over massive lay-offs and the further erosion of entire creative industries is anything but solidarity with the artists, rethink everything.

For anyone needing a balm after the Msoft layoff news... this is a good reminder that passion for designing games continues despite the stormy weather. Game Builder Garage Direct by @supergroovy.net www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Xpo...

Fan-made Game Builder Garage Direct showcases amazing creations, including a Mario Kart World clone http://gonintendo.com/contents/50338-fan-made-game-builder-garage-direct-showcases-amazing-creations-including-a-mario #nintendoswitch

Game Builder Garage Fan-Made 'Direct' Reveals New Creations Alongside Switch 2 Update.

Really thoughtful observations about the GBG scene/community, thanks Anna! To add to the final point, there has been sporadic efforts since 2021 to prepare for the inevitable shuttering of the online services, 🤞 the community will find a robust way to preserve these creations before it's too late!

For anybody who wanted to see more out of Game Builder Garage, in less than 6 hours the *GBG Direct* will be premiering! It is approximately 20 minutes and will feature several upcoming games!! I really suggest you check it out. youtu.be/4XpotaYRQRY?...

Thread 🧵 of things you might not know about Puppy Love Story. 1. It starts out with ~15 mins of naming and training a puppy, but the story has nothing to do with owning or playing with a cute puppy. It takes a hard left turn into an isekai...

i still think about her sometimes

Roger is a Loopy legend! 🩷🩵 Seeing the translated manual and cartridge label is an absolutely wild feeling. Everything looks so perfect that it's hard not to daydream about a world where the Loopy released outside of Japan 🥲

Townbox just passed 2,000 wishlists on Steam! 🥳🎉 Thank you to everyone who has wishlisted the game so far, your support means the world to us! 💖✨ 🏘️🌳 #gamedev #indiedev #cozygames 🍎 Wishlist Townbox today!: s.team/a/2906440

Switch 2 thoughts: the device feels much more premium than I thought, with some weirdness exceptions, everything feels like it had a super solid iteration, free Palestine, and Mario Kart World free roam is pretty fun but not as realized an experience as just doing races.
