OK #indiedev who also are social media managers - what is your scheduling tool of choice?

Thanks @yozetty.bsky.social! Now every time I listen to the new AFI album I just hear you screeching "HOLY VIIISIONS" and it makes me laugh.

Look what I stumbled across in Kobe this morning @frankhowley.bsky.social

Sometimes #AWAYSIS art reviews can get a little… weird 🤷 #gamedev #indiedev #gaming

Spinning some zen this morning. Nujabes has been a part of my soul for a very long time now. Every album is a banger, and I wish I had the chance to see the master at work. #music #vinyl

The #AGDAs25 Adam Lancman Award Goes to... Antony Reed

Absolute banger of a game from a killer studio. Highlight of my year was playing this gem.

Look, I'd be lying if I said this is why we don't let @allymobbs.bsky.social in the level reviews anymore.

@frankhowley.bsky.social hey! How do I get some info about our studio and game over to you folks at NoClip 2? Would love to catch you next time you're in Japan. Also, you gotta show me where the good wrestling is in Kyoto. I just moved here from Tokyo so still getting the lay of the land.

Great mention from @pcgamer.com "I was impressed when I saw Awaysis' physics-based slide jumps and enemy-propelling magic projectiles, but I was elated when I saw one player seemingly brush their co-op partner off a ledge and into an endless abyss by accident." We call it co-opertition. #indiedev

@robzacny.bsky.social I highly recommend CachyOS. I made the switch a few months ago and once I learned how to connect my media drive it’s just been rock solid for gaming. cachyos.org

Nostalgia hitting hard in this week's #IndieReleaseDispatch. LAN mysteries, Arctic survival, and flicking heroes. www.pxls.jp/lan-mysterie... #indiedev #gaming #indiegames

It’s chaotic, but I’ve never felt so connected to a team I’ve worked with. Koichi is right - badass team!

happysad is just one of those albums that will instantly make your day better. I really love all of kiefer’s releases, but this was my first and will always be my favourite. #music #vinylcollection

Rough time to be someone who gives a fuck about things

So proud to be a friend of this talented audio designer. @allymobbs.bsky.social is killing it every day with this audio wizardry.

Always a top honor to be featured in the games industry’s finest journal, EDGE!!

Anyone heading to TGS this year that would like to talk #AWAYSIS from @17-bit.bsky.social? Let me know - we have some limited slots available on the business days with our CEO and Creative Director @jkooza.bsky.social. #TGS2025 #TokyoGameShow #indiedev

👀 Maybe you'll want to pencil this one in. #gamedev #indiedev #TGS2025 #PCGamingShow

It's only Indie if it's made in the Indiana region of the US, otherwise it's just Sparkling Entertainment

What makes me say yes to a studio? ⚡ Creative freedom, with guardrails. Chaos is powerful when it’s aimed at the player. ⚡ Collaboration without ego. Feedback should sharpen, not wound. ⚡ Vision beyond the hype cycle. Trends fade, worlds endure. #GameDev #StudioCulture #NarrativeDesign

With their tenth studio album giving the band their first ever No. 1, a reminder that Deftones are forever. aftermath.site/deftones-back-...

I don't have the proper words to say more than this now but I was just laid off. My role at Giant Squid is being eliminated. If your studio is looking for an environment artist, please let me know ASAP. I have 5+ years of experience. thank you

Bajillion dollar idea: a maximum wage

cannot overstate how big an influence robert's work, and espiecally a life well wasted, has been on me over the years

Finished up The Drifter last night, and it was an absolutely stellar pulp adventure that knew what it wanted to do, and did so with conviction. It is well worth your time. I might write something about it for @pxls.jp if I can carve out some time. store.steampowered.com/app/1170570/... #gamedev

Haven’t listened to Tycho in a long while, but it’s hitting just right today on this hot, rainy summer day. Weather isn’t my favourite album from them, but it’s pretty solid listen as Tycho tries to add vocals to their hypnotic soundscapes. #vinyl #music

New #IndieReleaseDispatch! We've got recommendations from @giantsquidstudios.com, @freelives.bsky.social, @togeproductions.bsky.social, and more this week. www.pxls.jp/herding-crea... #newgames #gaming #indiedev

Deep in the AFI catalog today and The Art of Drowning still commands so much attention. 13 punk anthems that have the final gasps of the snotty-nosed brash energy of their early era, before the transformed to Sing the Sorrow, then into the Miss Murder bullshit, and back to cool band with vibes.

@frankhowley.bsky.social hey! Are you stopping by Kyoto at all this trip? Would be awesome to show you around and check out our studio and city!

Spinning one of my favourite Lo-Fi albums this morning. Neon Impasse by City Girl feels like a warm summer night, the breeze on your face as you gaze out at a city filled with possibilities. I love it. city-girl.bandcamp.com/album/neon-i... #music #vinyl

🥳 New #IndieReleaseDispatch is here! This week we have spooky wooden tactics in Inkshade (@vezelle.bsky.social), and dice rolling tactics in Dice Gambit (@chromaticink.bsky.social), along with some other cool games. www.pxls.jp/dice-inquisi... #indiedev #gaming

I still get goosebumps watching the trailer that @hellerphant.pxls.jp put together for the launch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgDm...

10 years ago? Wow… what even is time these days? Incredibly proud of the work we did. It was my first time providing narrative in a game. My first time cutting a trailer. It was one of the first narrative games on our little games label that grew into the powerhouse that is @fellowtraveller.games

Today was a good day. Met a new friend and we had fancy crepes. Held an online test and it mostly worked, and now I’m on the way into a long weekend. Hope everyone survived the week and came out on top.

How can we get to 1M users, without ever using ads? We've grown on word-of-mouth and organic press thus far. What's the single most impactful thing we should do next to accelerate adoption?

this is actually what you're supposed to do now

umbrella (formerly umbrella entertainment), distributor of very cool 4K blu-rays and local films, has announced a new wing dedicated to video games

(1/3) I have 3 things I’m launching today, and the first is a new podcast!
It’s called Wavelengths and it’s a laid back show about the games industry with a guest each week. The first episode is about the death of console exclusives and starting an independent games outlet with @plante.bsky.social!

Spinning one of my favourite Japanese bands this morning, Mass of the Fermenting Dregs. This album has a bit of everything, and is often my study buddy when I have the motivation to learn Japanese. #vinyl #music

Started Wheel World last night from @messhof.bsky.social, and it’s seriously great! I’ll keep adding to the thread as I get deeper but so far: - Skully is a great character with charm - Some commentary on the fixation on new gear from the cycling community - Surprisingly deep lore #indiegames

It's hard to find the time right now, but a new Indie Release Dispatch is here! So psyched to see @messhof.bsky.social back with something unexpected. Keen to check it out whenever I get the chance.

Not featured in this video: - transporting 2x 70” OLEDs in a truck in the rain - a search for a missing cat - approximately 12 lattes - a moderate and appropriate amount of yelling. See you on the show floor friends! I’m working 9:30 - 13:30 today!

Hanging out with my goblin friends. See you at BitSummit tomorrow on the @17-bit.bsky.social booth.

Spinning absolute bliss this morning before work. Nujabes has got me through some great times. Some bad times. His beats always keep me in good spirits. One of the first records I bought when I moved to Japan. They were hard to find while I was living in Aus.

It's true, he buys the finest combini cheeses and makes sure that we are all fed and watered. Come say hi to @potatodonkey.bsky.social and the rest of @17-bit.bsky.social this weekend at #BitSummit2025!

Movie folks in and around Melbourne! I'm extremely stoked to be presenting one of my all-timers this Friday night as a part of my Friday Fright Features programming at Fomo Cinemas in East Brunswick -- Kiyoshi Kurosawa's PULSE! Tickets at the link below! fomocinemas.com.au/movie-detail...

Name names: Microsoft. How screwed is this industry that legends like the Romeros can fully comply with a studio-sized contract and be kicked to the curb the same as the rest of us.

Chilling out with what I feel is an under appreciated release from #KGATLW. I love the stripped down tracks and smooth clarinets. #vinyl #music

With how many layoffs we’ve had over the past several years, remote work should be the default. Requiring relocation at this point is unreasonable for the risk that we’re just going to get laid off two months, six months, a year in.
