This last expo brought me so close to 800 wishlists, I just need one more 👀 ...before needing 200 more for 1k :p #indieGame #steam

All the world's a stage, and all the people, merely players - and as game players, aren’t we all just queens of endless fascinating courts who desert them as soon as all their resources are sapped?

Wirm is on sale for 5 bucks right now! Check it out! store.steampowered.com/app/1934870/...

game jam: construct a game manual from excerpts of unrelated media and then make a game based on that premise

We're excited to say that we're going to be a part of Frosty Games Fest so tune in Sunday June 7th to see some cooool things about Shape Sender Deluxe! 🍦⭐🟠🟨🍦

A sneak peak into the development of indie games:

Still here... still loving the #ANZIndieFest... still shouting about the awesome games showcasing... Here's the next batch to check out. 👀 All from Aotearoa. How good! #IndieDev #IndieGames #ANZ #NZMade store.steampowered.com/app/2537020/... @fnifegames.bsky.social

no joke I think this is like the number 2 most beneficial thing an indie developer can do (after learning how to make a game lol) because I don’t think this is a universal thought process and becoming a more well rounded person is free

Ya love to see it! The ANZ Indie Showcase event is on the front page of Steam across Australia and New Zealand!!! @theindiebrew.com.au

Can't believe that the internet is coming out in *opposition* to a new freaky little guy! What have we become?!? #starfox #arewestillusinghashtagsidk

I have foolishly decided to run a game jam from the 18th-24th. Please tell any freaks that you know about it. itch.io/jam/weird-rp...

Lone Pine is showing in the 2026 ANZ Indie Showcase, which premieres THIS FRIDAY alongside many many amazing indie games from Aus and NZ! Check it out on Steam and Youtube - and thank you to @theindiebrew.com.au for organising and hosting. #anzindiefest #indiegames #anzgames

It's time to mark your calendars for #WholesomeDirect this year, and we've got a big announcement ready for you all, so don't forget to tune in! 🗓️ June 6th @ 9am PT / June 7th @ 2am Brisbane time

Do you really "like" Rogue, tho?

we used to play computer

My last game before mat leave is just about to release! The team are absolutely wonderful to work with and to know, I really hope the release goes smoothly (and am sad my own release got in the way or supporting that 👶😂💖).

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

Something instead of nothing

DAWN CHORUS -- demo out now! an interactive fiction story about two losers trying to make music and stay friends as the world is ending around them. after years of secrecy/procrastination i am proud to reveal the demo for my esoteric pre-apocalypse story :) PLAY → haraiva.itch.io/dawn-chorus-...

The issue with many "cozy" games is they're so vibes-focused, they lose sight of the CONTENT of the media they're emulating. Yes, "The Wind in the Willows" involves sitting around drinking tea, but it also includes such heartwarming episodes as "Mr. Toad steals a car" and "Rat and Mole meet God".

ALT: Games 2026 ruled, I'm glad I made time after missing out last year. What a good vibe.

Friends!! I have some time free from next month onwards and would love to do anything from Art Direction to UI art to graphic design to illustration for all your various projects!🎨 💌Shoot us an email at: [email protected]

You wouldn't make a videogame.

Here's some of the things you can do using light cookies (or masks)! They can be useful for creating flashlights, or window lights - or even water caustics!

Announcing our wonderful winning artist and our 2026 Queensland Games Festival vibe - thank you to @supersheaff.bsky.social for designing this fun and funky look for us! 🧡 🩷 💙

I love this article. It hammers home how simple placeholder art is a part of the iterative development process, and is key to allowing each discipline creative influence. When devs use AI, they are cutting other artists out of the creative process, often intentionally, and producing worse stories.

Apparently someone has put up a pirated version of Key Fairy? So, I guess, if you want to play key fairy, but don't have the money, go crazy: filecr.com/pc-games/key...

Summer House is lovely and charming and characterful, but what's actually hooked me id the Random Object Button. It just solves decision paralysis to be able to press a button to get a random tree, or door, or wall, and have to work around it. store.steampowered.com/app/2533960/...

a lot of people asked me how i got building relationships onto Summer Game Fest (ie who I knew to land that) but I just submitted Building Relationships through the form lol

Infinite content. Infinite games. With infinite content. Per game. For infinite games. Infinite content.

Took great pleasure in ticking this box in an Age Rating questionnaire yesterday... 🍑

Houses and homes are key to the story of Momento, so we're so happy to have our demo available to play as part of the fest! 🏡💚 Head here to check out the demo: store.steampowered.com/app/4145800/...

Nom wrote one of the loveliest reviews we have been lucky enough to receive! Good games journalism, good criticism, is good art. It can both build upon the meaning and ideas presented in works, and explore further into the unknown. We are so fortunate to have such amazing journalists in games!

oh, uh, I forgot to say that WizardChess is 50% in the Checkmate Humble Bundle! do you like chess? indie games? supporting weird devs who suck at promotion? check it out! www.humblebundle.com/games/checkm...

Key Fairy is on sale! Buy it now, or I'll have to get a real job!!! store.steampowered.com/app/2878580/...

ANZ game devs, it's your LAST CHANCE to get your application in for Frosty Games Fest! Form closes tomorrow at 5pm AEST ⏰🍦 ➡️ forms.gle/MUUWLcvMviHi...

The captcha keeps asking me "which of these squares contain political dissidents"???

as i write, i find it very unhelpful to ask myself if something is funny i think the focus should be on the overlying structure: is there enough context to setup the punchline, is the flow too concise or distracting, and most importantly, can i callback to this bit later in the game

An absolute steal. When I’m prototyping, I grab some Kenney assets before I boot up the editor. Consistent, beautiful placeholder art is good for the soul, and for motivation.

Friendly reminder for game developers based in Australia or Aotearoa New Zealand – Frosty Games Fest 2026 applications are OPEN and will close in 1 week on Mar 27! 🍦 If you have an exciting announcement to share with the world in early June, be sure to fill in our application form 🫶

I've been reading Project Hail Mary, and it's... fine...it's good... But Andy Weir has this strange habit of finishing half his sentences with "Anyway," and it is very funny to me. It's all this clever science talk, which crashes into a brick wall when he runs out of things to say. Anyway, I-

WOOOOO!! the Isle of Lost Bees - a game I've been making with my friends for a month, now has a demo available on itch! triplebeegames.itch.io/the-isle-of-...

🚨 One week to go! 🚨 The Lone Pine demo is dropping on the 24th of this month at 8am PT! #indiegames

My #indiegame review for Key Fairy is live. I really enjoyed my time with this game and more people should check it out! @soyoudontneedto.bsky.social #gamedev #gamesky

steam's relaxing event has new demos for very cool, very wholesome upcoming games & i rec a bunch

I want to introduce you all to something myself and @jacksonwryan.com have been working on. A PRINT MAGAZINE about video games and video game culture. We know things have been bad for games writing recently. We're asking, "do you want to Continue?" www.kickstarter.com/projects/con...
