Phew, I knew this would be a rare tangle with "the feels" but oof and grrrrr and ahhhh is the only appropriate review of this stunning piece of real life story telling. More people need to share their stories like this. Amazing work by @alyxjones.bsky.social and @silverscriptgames.bsky.social ♥️

More #IndieDevs should let @noaksey.com, @kiddesimo.bsky.social and me graffiti their games 😎 These look so rad in The Quiet Things by @silverscriptgames.bsky.social

The Quiet Things by @alyxjones.bsky.social, an autobiographical narrative adventure, is out now! [PC, XB] Based on real diary entries, police records and first hand accounts, explore Alice's adolescence as she tries to make sense of the world she's growing up in. #indiegame

I had to recommend a game I’ve been playing called “The Quiet Things”, by @silverscriptgames.bsky.social It’s heavy. It’s hard.You will cry and possibly not have words for the emotion of it. You will feel raw when you’re done. Games like this need to be made. Thank you, @alyxjones.bsky.social

The Quiet Things is now LIVE ON STEAM! WOOHOO 🥳 If you enjoy indie narrative games like Gone Home or What Remains of Edith, you might like our little game ❤️ I have one favour to ask, if you do play it, please do leave us a review, it helps indie so much 🙏 store.steampowered.com/app/2288520/...

Just a few of the indie games currently on my wishlist - they look like so much fun!" Titles by: Lost Token @alyxjones.bsky.social and Silver Script Games Tempete Studio The Growing Stones #IndieGames #WishlistWednesday

There's a lot of great stuff coming out in these next few weeks. I implore you not to forget about The Quiet Things from @silverscriptgames.bsky.social. They've been fearless about putting themselves out there and dealing with setbacks (the BAFTA trailer debacle for one), all to tell a story 🧵

Just finished The Quiet Things from @silverscriptgames.bsky.social and honestly, I think I need a few days away... What a powerful way to share a traumatic story spanning across many years. Stories like this need to be shared... and all I can say is, well done and I'm sorry this happened to you.

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for your incredible patience while we dealt with issues on Steam. Thankfully the build is now approved and we can finally announce that our little game will finally be available on Steam on the 18th June (5pm UK time). WOOHOO! 🎉 #indiegame #gamedev

CW: abuse, suicide A labour of love over many years, here’s finally the game that I’ve been wanting to come out for so long. Based on the real life diary accounts of Alyx and featuring a full cast of amazing actors bringing a story aching to be told to life. An absolute privilege to work on.

OMG we did it, over the line, shipped it, 'done'! Managing a full playthrough in the last few weeks has made me realise what a special game this tiny team has made. A powerful, emotional, and thought-provoking story. Seeing it all come together as these things do has been quite the rollercoaster. ❤️

This has been a true labour of love for Alyx and her team, tackling a very difficult subject. Please check it out and see if it interests you 😊

It's surreal that launch day is here! It's so wild to see OUR GAME live on Xbox!!! To every single person who has helped and supported this game over the many years of development, we cannot thank you enough. Itchio: silverscriptgames.itch.io/the-quiet-th... Xbox: www.xbox.com/en-US/games/...

The gaming industry is tough as hell right now, but I have to take a step back and realise I get to live my dream every single day. Silver Script Games is slowly growing as we keep working hard on our game The Quiet Things. Thank you everyone who continues to support us ❤️ #indiegame #gamedev

It's an insane bucket list to be here for #TheGameAwards ✨ Being part of Future Class, in LA for the first time, the atmosphere, around so many who are excited and passionate about games, is just wonderful! So many games that are part of my journey in the industry, so special 💖😭

What an evening! Last week we won the Innovation in Games Awards at the #BarclaysEA24. The awards was hosted by Sara Davies (Dragon's Den) ✨ Can't thank everyone enough for such a special night, it means a huge amount to us, as a tiny team trying to do big things 💖 #indiedev #gamedev

A STACKED BAFTA longlist for the game awards next year. Personal highlights are Balatro, Astro Bot, Life is Strange: Double Exposure, Hellblade II, Still Wakes the Deep and Tales of Kenzera: ZAU 🏆 #BAFTA #BAFTAGames #BAFTAGameAwards www.bafta.org/stories/best...

"It's the games industry, it's about art, it's about passion, you can't do it without that" A very emotional screening of the documentary showing the making of #STALKER2. These devs really deserve the world, they've gone through horrific experiences and just want to do good 🫶

The wonderful #gameaudio London community 🫶 Everyone is just so warm and welcoming, it's a pleasure to watch it grow every year 😁

This is really so awesome, but the best thing about awards like this is spending time with all the other people doing amazing things in the industry and celebrating all of our work. Thank you so much to the judges for choosing us and to all our friends we got to celebrate with 💖

Got to be all kinds of fancy with everyone there. Tara Mustafa @thisismarta.bsky.social @bluehairedjon.bsky.social @alyxjones.bsky.social @kevindavey.bsky.social Elaine Dowman Sara Davies MBE

So ready to dive back into this world 🤩 #LifeIsStrange #LIS

Procrastinating from other tasks by doing my tax self assessment, this is a new low 😂

What got you into #gamedev? I was always making games, I just didn't really know it. Flash buttons to navigate between bits of story in IT class, to much later creating unity prototypes during a music degree. I didn't even realise jobs in games was a career until uni. Once I did, that was it! 🤩

OK the tarot card reading from MCM X EGX is pretty cool ngl... 😍

EGX X Comic Con more cool thangs 😎 Met some baby transformers, made beatz, TNMT van and a super interesting panel about games for therapy 😁 #EGX #MCMComicCon2024

EGX (& Comic Con) Day 1 complete! ✅ Lovely to catch up with so many people. Little Nightmares III is my highlight, and super cool to get to play so far ahead of release next year ❤️ I think it's quite sad to see EGX go downhill, but I will try and hang on until the end 🫣

👀 I’m looking for Indie devs/pubs/marketers releasing in 2025, I have something super stealth and VERY cool to invite you to... Who do I/should I know? If that’s you, say hi (reply or DMs are open) Shares and rec's appreciated 🙏

Urgh honestly EGX having this seperate industry track I've not heard about until today and you can't access without an industry verified pass is just stupid. There's also zero AAA playable games and no indie talks/panels. It's really gone steeply downhill 😒

Hi new Bluesky followers! We're SpecialEffect, the UK based charity helping to level the playing field for people with physical disabilities all over the world 💙🧡 Here's a look at some of the smiles we, and our incredible supporters, have helped create together since the charity began in 2007!

Had a lovely time at the University of Surrey last week for their women in games event, a chance to talk about what the industry is like for all of us, and the kinds of jobs students might want to move into 😄 #GuildfordGames #UniversityOfSurrey #WomenInGames

If you're games industry and following some folks already, reply with who you are and what you do, and then re-post this or whatever it's called. Let's try and find each other on this new place
