I want to start a petition that we release a “COLIN MODE”. It’s kinda like a director’s cut, but cooler

Locked out of my house and the only vendo nearby has some choices I’ve never seen. Do I get the Hokusai “very Japan, such wow” soda, or whatever the hell JUNGLEMAN is?

OK, the king of all cosmos being a depressed streamer is a pretty great setup for the mobile Katamari game. Loving it so far.

This is so cool, and makes me wish I could load this on my HiBy R4. @bb.wavelengths.online did you ever have a Zune? I was a big iPod hater in high school for some stupid reason. I remember driving 2 hours to a McDonald's parking lot to buy a US imported Zune off a dude for $200. It was glorious!

So proud of our crew. This game at a critical moment for us as we round out our beta before the end of the year, and launched our first demo. A lot of exciting things happening at The BIT. #gamedev #indiedev

Very excited to have the first demo for #AWAYSIS live for PC and Xbox Series S|X. We were selected as part of the ID@Xbox Indie Selects Demo Fest. If you want to see what I have been working on for the past year, get at it. www.xbox.com/en-US/games/...

I was already loving Dispatch, but the second I heard Future Islands playing, that’s when it truly won my heart.

@brandon.insertcredit.com eyyy Demonschool is super good. Playing it on the train into Kyoto every day is keeping me sane as we march towards our own release deadline. Thanks for putting this game out into the world!

Drifting into the upside down. Shot on my way to the Australian consulate last week. Love how weird and fever dreamy it makes me feel. #photography

Happy to see Demonschool getting a healthy reaction in reviews this week. Lots of 8s and 9s. Plenty of 6s too. It shows that the game isn’t built for everyone, and for those who connect with it, they really found something special. store.steampowered.com/app/1900250/...

日本語 learners - got any podcast recommendos? I am diving in deep to actually learning Japanese and forgoing all sleep to make it happen.

Thanks to the folks over at @sifterhq.bsky.social for taking the time to speak with us at TGS this year. We have spent the last few years making a tight, reactive, physics game that is unlike anything else you have played. We can't wait to get it into your hands. #indiedev #gamedev

Absolutely chuffed that we are part of the next Day of the Devs. It’s been my favourite showcase for a very long time, and I’m so excited to have something that I’m working on take part.

A great read that points out the failings that I’ve seen at many studios time and time again. Fully agree that leads should read this. It a great reminder to look at company culture and processes to solve problems.

The team worked incredibly hard to make this trailer happen, and I think it’s a much better representation of our game than our launch trailer. If you love #indiedev or #gaming please give us a Wishlist. I really helps! store.steampowered.com/app/3334760/...

I have wanted to play this game for YEARS, ever since we first saw it while I was working at @fellowtraveller.games. Very excited!

This basically sums up my day to day. Game dev is fun and has no stressful moments at all.

Alright #gamedev / #indiedev friends using JIRA - what are your go to plugins to simplify things? We have some technically minded folks using our tools, but I want to make it easier and more visual for others who don't vibe with it.

… what else do you do with ‘em?!?

Want a cool Malys sticker of your own? If you're in Sydney, drop by booth 3 today and play the game to take one of these literal baddies home, ahead of Malys' launch into 1.0 next week! bit.ly/playmalys

Spinning one of Australia’s finest this morning. I love all of RBCF’s albums, but this one just has a collection of great indie moments. The French Press EP is still better though. #music #vinyl #spanglejangle

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
