Hey #indiedev friends who are coming to #bitsummit this year! If you’re looking for production or narrative support on a contract basis, we should talk while you’re in town. Regardless, let me know if you are around! It would be good to see some friendly faces!

Very excited for this week's batch of indie recommendos in the #IndieDispatch. @farfarwest.bsky.social @terratechgame.bsky.social @nightsignalentertainment.com @inkonbini.bsky.social @madheadbump.bsky.social indiedispatch.online/posts/robot-... #gamedev #indiedev #gaming

Always amazed that entire generations of gamers mispronounce ‘hadouken’ despite hearing it a billion times in the games So one time: Ha-doh-ken Not Ha-doo-ken

People looking for their next gig, I recommend using Hitmarker as as tarting point. It's easy to filter by country / role / remote, and gives you a bit of an idea who is actively recruiting. hitmarker.net It surprises me how many folks haven't heard of it. #indiedev

Played a few rounds of BIN CHICKEN, which was the Player’s Choice winner at #TGX2026. @sheegoggery.bsky.social married @allymobbs.bsky.social and was divorced at the last moment to have his precious food stolen away. Pretty fun little card game. #tabletop #indiegame

Arco is such an underrated gem that YOU probably haven't heard of. Get behind this small team. Even if you don't buy it, play the demo. Tell a friend. Help these folks find the success they so greatly deserve. Can't wait to see what they do next.

The new Bad//Dreems album is a grower, that has infected my mind every time I have a quiet moment. An unassuming classic Aussie rock group that just quietly churns out banger albums. baddreems.bandcamp.com/album/ultra-... #newmusic

Tickets booked for another trip to #Melbourne. Excited to head along to #MIGW and see how it has evolved.

Quick little jaunt back home to #Melbourne for TGX. It was kinda weird being “home” after 7 long years, but had a blast catching up with old mates, and making new ones along the way. I’ll be heading back in October for #MIGW so I’ll get to do it all again! #photography

If anyone is willing to share, I would be very appreciative!! 🔧🍃 We've just set the launch trailer live for Piece by Piece, our cozy repair shop game that is coming THIS WEEK, on March 11!! You can see it below, and find the game here: store.steampowered.com/app/3179050/...

Seriously, it is getting ridiculous the number of great games hitting Steam every week. It makes writing this newsletter easy. It makes playing them all and also doing life incredibly hard.

Another week of bangers in #indiedispatch today. We're already playing LOVE ETERNAL, which is brutal in a zen-like way. indiedispatch.online/posts/demon-... What are you playing this weekend? @fabraz.bsky.social @brimstone.games #indiedev #gaming #videogames

If you want to check out the game I have been working on for the past year, head on over to our Steam page and download the demo R I G H T N O W ! Excited to hear what people think. Now to get ready for the next month of shows and dev. #indiedev

Super proud of @sheegoggery.bsky.social for making an incredible logo we are both very proud of. We have modest hopes for Indie Dispatch, but so far it's been a great project for the soul. Also, holy shit, Mewgenics is incredible.

Seriously, I cannot keep up with the number of interesting games that I've already found this year. Time, money. Why can't we have more of that? Hopefully you find something in this list that strikes your fancy. If you aren't going to buy, throw it on your Wishlist. It really does help!

Staring down the barrel of an insane February and March. We have DICE, and GDC, TGX, and PAX East. Oh, and Steam Next Fest all happening in the next few months. Thank god a new Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever track dropped in these trying times. youtu.be/ijKaiXYE6RM?...

Cairn and Roots Devour in the same week?! 2026 is already off to a cracking start!

Very excited to launch indiedispatch.online into the world with @sheegoggery.bsky.social. It's way earlier than we expected, and we don't even have the logo yet. But the whole YouTube thing meant we just wanted to hit the ground running.

Woke up to find a tonne of snow. Literally going to be walking 3kms in the snow to work today. I really love living in Shiga. Tokyo was fun but this area just has a slower pace and is so close to Kyoto and Osaka.

I don't even really understand what has compelled me to start blogging again in 2026, but I am. Some thoughts about the loss of the @pixelsforbreakfast.bsky.social YouTube account. oatsandcurry.pika.page/posts/google...

Yesterday I found out that the @pixelsforbreakfast.bsky.social YouTube account was deleted. No notice. . No way to recover the account, and no real way to talk to YouTube support. 8 years of content gone. Interviews that were important to me like Greg Kasavin, @chetsucks.com, many others.

This fucking sucks! I was just talking to @jesawyer.bsky.social and @thewritegame.bsky.social about how great this show was a few months ago. If anyone can do something to get eyes on this and save the show, please tell them this is worth supporting.

Happy 2026! Our first #IndieDispatch of the year is out! pixelsforbreakfast.net/the-moon-is-... #indiedev #gaming #newrelease

Epic walk to my local station today. #japan #photography

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
