Happy Lies on the Internet Day to all those who celebrate.

The Virtual Economy podcast is always a great listen and it was a delight to hear our recent ROCKFISH Games grant news mentioned. Side note, I met @futterish.fsquared.biz and @amandafarough.ca in person for the first time at Day of the Devs this year. Great people!

when I pressed Play in the editor this morning, I briefly believed Unity had pranked me, but no, a @kitfoxgames.com programmer was up late last night to activate things at 12:01 😂 thank you Charly 😂

Happy Lies on the Internet Day to all those who celebrate.

We’re honored to be nominated for Best Audio for EVERSPACE 2: Wrath of the Ancients in the 2026 Deutscher Computerspielpries / @derdcp.bsky.social. Congratulations to the nominees in each category! deutscher-computerspielpreis.de/chronik/ever... #derDCP #gameindustry #videogameawards

Audio design is a subtle art that holds a game together. It's fantastic to see EVERSPACE 2: Wrath of the Ancients recognized on this front! Congratulations to the team for the incredible work done on the audio and soundtrack for this expansion. #indiegames #derDCP #audio

i've yet to see evidence that this man is anything other than the fucking coolest to ever do it

😆

That feeling when you go to wishlist a game and see it's already on your wishlist. 😅

I enjoyed my time on the @indiearenabooth.de jury so much last year that I’ve signed up for a second round! I’ve been liking a lot of what I’ve tried so far and look forward to seeing all the indie games and developers at the full Indie Arena Booth this Gamescom! #indiegames #gameindustry

I think this really illustrates that a lot of dull people who complain about "politics" in stories, simply do not know what politics are. including, sometimes, the authors of those stories.

This is a wild read.

Just took a big financial blow today, so I'm here to say that I'm very open to any video game writing work. Writing and editing experience, happy to take on reviews, guides, features, etc. My essays have gotten comments like "the best thing I've read on this website," I can do those for you too!

Minishoot Adventures is a delight. Chill exploration and RPG progression mixed with big boss battles. 100% recommend trying it! Great as a palette cleanser between bigger games.

I am wildly pumped for this. Monstress is an incredible graphic novel series with some of the best art I've seen in AGES.

Authors: file your Anthropic Settlement claims! Really! 1. They should have paid you! 2. Even if you would not ever have licensed your material to these people, this is a chance to take /real cash/ out of their pockets -- not speculative valuation on some invented multiple, /currency/

This has been the GOP's "starve-the-beast" scheme for nearly 50 years. Meanwhile, millions suffer and struggle to get ahead as the rich get richer. See the problem here?

If you’re kicking around PAX East this weekend, come through and check out GNAW at PAX Rising! I’m principal narrative on this gorgeous metroidvania. Redstart gave me my start as a narrative designer and writer, so pls come by to support them like they deserve. (I’ll be there off and on too!)

I hear this Colbert guy knows a thing or two about LotR lore.

Gotta wonder if Disney lawyers be like:

We'll be doing some outreach to our press mailing list, but if there are any *journalists* in my network that are interested in reviewing THE LONG DARK Episode Five, or the entirety of our WINTERMUTE story mode, we're distributing review keys now. Email for access: raphael(at)hinterland(dot)com

I don't want to brag, but the first game I've ever shipped as part of a studio is one of the most special, surprising experiences ever, and I love that for me 😁 You're really missing something magical if you haven't played KEEPER.

FWIW, we have some cool alternative gaming industry events in Canada! @xpgaminginc.bsky.social has events in Toronto and Halifax in May and June, plus MIGS in late 2026. Also in June is @torontogamesweek.com and Edmonton-based Game Con Canada’s inaugural North American Games Industry Summit.

When Unity started collapsing I made a quick "how do I get going in Unreal" website many folks found helpful. that website has now MOVED and is a DIFFERENT COLOUR. If you want Unreal demystification, tips and scoops, this is a place www.ughiguessiwanttomovefromunitytounreal.com

Finally getting around to playing Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Only a couple chapters in, but I'm loving the new combat system and intrigued by the changes in story!

One of our talented narrative designers is moving on to another great project, and we're looking for someone to join the team to keep the Valley growing!

Hello! Do I know anyone Boston based or going to PAX East who could help (paid) to be at my game’s booth this short notice? 🥲💛

NOW is the time to start shopping for trailer artists if you're planning a summer launch or announcement, yes, this soon! A pro trailer artist will lead you from concept to creation, and a healthy timeline is about 6-8 weeks, so get in touch asap even if your game isn't ready yet! #gametrailers

The best Batman story I've read in a long while.

How many folks On Here(tm) have games specific graphic design exp for both organic social content AND paid ad assets? Looking to add to my rolodex atm so if you're someone that has exp in this realm with **existing portfolio pieces**, drop your website! (No DMs unless mutuals, thanks <3)

My post-GDC treat showed up! The Game Narrative Kaleidoscope put together by @inkle.co is something I've been waiting for. Looking forward to diving into the essays in this book instead of my usual blue light screens before bed. 😅

Supporting games from outside of the US and Japan is important, because it feels like a lot of media automatically looks at games from countries outside those two as less than. Excited I got to talk to Chris Charla about the ID@Xbox slate and the importance of game dev EVERYWHERE

We're looking for additional help at Ambedo, specifically hoping for Coast Salish writers to help with the narrative of our upcoming game Remaining Grace. Please feel free to share around, and DM me if you have a lead! ☺️ ambedostudios.com/grace/

You say you need an incredibly fun and sticky twin-stick Zelda-like…look no further than Minishoot Adventures from SoulGame and @seavenstudio.bsky.social It is fantastic! #NintendoSwitch2

Instead of giving up, I'm now looking into starting my own agency to provide social media, community management, and comms support / consultation to indie games and small businesses. I'm genuinely good at these things and helping indies succeed has always been one of my greatest passions.

At Fate's End thrusts players into a world of messy relationships, glorious visuals, intriguing gameplay, and heavy decisions. The next game from Thunder Lotus was an absolute joy to play at GDC.
