We're down to the last 1.5 hours of the Games for Palestine charity. If you've not yet picked up nearly 400 incredible indie games and experiences, and support a good cause while you're at it, now's your chance

Oh my heck! we are freakin' speakin' at freakon! 👀🍄❗ If I don't see you there, I'll cry!

You will make a dozen bad games before you can make 1 good game. The more bad games you make, the gooder your games will become?

Heading to Games Week or PAX Aus in Melbourne next month? Be sure to stop in at ACMI and visit the new interactive Game Worlds exhibit! Featuring 30 playable games and over 50 years of gaming history, we got hands-on during the exhibit's opening night: www.qualbert.com/acmi-game-wo...

Really great #indiedev event last night with talks from talented local devs like @soyoudontneedto.bsky.social, @louis-van-dyke.bsky.social, @willofthehinz.bsky.social, and Tommy from @gnomes-the-game.bsky.social. If your local university has a game dev club, it's absolutely worth getting involved!

@unity.com your controller remapping package actively deletes the code I've been adding to make it actually work. Maybe fix that?

We wrote a Newsletter/Devlog/Blog-Post/Thing about what we've been up too in terms of Key Fairy development, events, and beyond!!! store.steampowered.com/news/app/287... #devlog #indiegame #indiedev #keyfairy!

Okay! 1x Design resource thread coming up! 🫡 For context I've been a UX Designer for ~7yrs and working in games for 4. I'm constantly learning / finding stuff and no magically perfect unicorn ninja design guy but this is some stuff I've found useful! Feel free to add your own stuff in replies! ✨

Ayyy excited to say we'll be talkin' about Key Fairy at Parallels! Everybody should go to parallels! Last year someone gave a clown-talk and I'm still thinkin' about it! If they run out o' tickets then collaborate with your fiendish friends to stack atop one another under a large trench coat!

Paralells is my forever highlight of every Melbourne Games Week and I am beyond excited to attend this year as a speaker! There will be a bunch of behind the scenes stuff+design notes on NOIBS, but even better - the entire night is STACKED with incredible creators: www.freeplay.net.au/parallels25

Quick reshare for the Monday crowd Re: @frostygamesfest.com, looking to get an indication from devs with key news (game announcement, surprise release, or a first demo launch) that would be aligned to a DECEMBER timeframe. If you can pls DM me, that would be very helpful! TY!

The Castle Keep!

Had to take a break from Silksong's tedious difficulty spikes. So now I'm replaying Animal Well! And I've realised, the first HK felt mysterious and alien, in a way that Silksong doesn't really replicate. But Animal Well fully captures that experience, it's so fresh and playful and explorative.

After two years of development, Heroes of the Seven Islands is OUT ON STEAM 🎉 #gamedev #indiegames

my silksong review is up!!! thank you again to VGC for the opportunity 💜

Did you catch the new #AnticitizenRed trailer in @zlimbratski.bsky.social’s Brutal Indie Showcase? We we got it right here for you! #gamedev #indiedev youtu.be/e6Qo8dYSKBY?...

Gimme more big loaf bosses and less spindly lil' scamp bosses pls

ancient friends

For months I've been having issues with the moving camera in Key Fairy! And I thought it was because we had too many cameras in the scene. BUT ACTUALLY, it was fixed by adding ANOTHER camera! A static one to just render the UI as an overlay! Now I can finally die in peace!

Cut, fold, glue… and wishlist our new game just announced! Cutout Village is our new adventure in which you will have to restore an old town in a unique way. Explore its narrative and enjoy the #DIY style and mechanics in our new game coming in 2026! ✂️🏡 #IndieGame #WishlistWednesday #CozyGaming

I can't believe they make you fight the bus in this game!!

Man, I guess if we just made the second boss in Key Fairy take a hundred god-damned tries we'd be able to boost the play time dramatically

I gave in

I saw a short doc on Haru Urara and I'm crying For those ootl, she is a legendary racehorse known for going 0-113, and she died today Known as the shining star of losers everywhere, she inspired so many people and saved her home track from bankruptcy, despite never winning. She just never gave up.

ABC News reporting "Supersized sex-switching oyster invading Australian waters". Gender fluidity AND immigration - the LNP and Sky News must be frothing at the mouth!

I want to take a moment to shout out @screamingbrainstudios.itch.io For all you #IndieGameDev peeps out there, Screaming Brain has a massive collection of CC0 (but do donate and credit if you can) textures available, all made with old school tools and techniques, no genAI! itch.io/profile/scre...

I needed a new critter to talk to. So I glued some eyes to a mushroom, and hid them under a skull. Would you accept her quest? would you help her?? on her quest??? #gamedesign? #indiedev?? #keyfairy!

I'm really obsessed with dead leaves and tiny spindly fungi at the moment #art

you all know my position on respecting the player's time. *wink*

I love all my wiggly friends

Our picks from @clemmygames.bsky.social #BIGFallShowcase (on Steam now!) store.steampowered.com/curator/2639... 🐤Rita :) 🌒Monomoon @gentlegiantgames.bsky.social 🐸Frogreign @arkanpixel.bsky.social 📦Schrodinger's Cat Burglar @abandonedsheep.com - can we be in a superposition of liking them all?

Haha! With everyone distracted by the bug game, now's my chance to get ahead in the games industry!

Honestly quite rude that the good folk of the world expect me (a noted fool) to spend my day reworking my terrible input system to work with PS controllers, when you could easily go out and get an Xbox controller (like a normal person)

I guess I can also kind of officially announce Space Junker. I don't know when, but it's Coming Soon™️ Made with @godotengine.org , Space Junker is a physics sim where your goal is to clean up space junk by pushing, pulling and slingshotting it back to your barge. #godot #solodev #comingsoon

I decided to spend my holiday time today writing at length about why I think the treating of Silksong as "the GTA6 of indie games" is nonsense auratriolo.com/blog/2025/09...
