Sit with me. Let’s chat People are lonelier than ever. We don’t connect enough with those nearest to us Don’t look away, this matters Call a friend, check in. Doesn’t need a purpose, just check in. Find out how their day went. It’ll be good for you both And then… Tell them about Vampirium: 1997

Note to self

Got an hour to spare today or tomorrow? Leave some kind comments on things you enjoy. Tell a developer they're doing a great job, or let an artist know their work is incredible. It can make a big difference in someone's day, trust me.

Robert’s games are rhetorical masterpiece artworks. like if banksy was actually good. and extremely into hot men who are displeased by clothes

Proud to announce the next game Vampirium: 1997 Dracula is king of the United British Empire. Kill his enemies and find your own path through a minimalist immersive sim sandbox. Wishlists and retweets massively appreciated (and, you know, massively helpful) store.steampowered.com/app/4035190/...

Let us do without soldiers. The joy built upon successful slaughter is not the right kind of joy; it will not do; it is fearful and it is trivial.

I think about this for games a lot. Does anyone know how a AAA game is made, let alone published?

I very rarely care about Epic's freebies, but the remastered version of 'I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream' is completely unmissable. Link: store.epicgames.com/p/i-have-no-...

@thepixelhunt.bsky.social has reached the Kickstarter funding goal for Ithaca! You can still hop in and secure a copy for yourself while supporting the developers. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ith...

please don't pirate our $100 video game about stealing cars

I posted my History of Games keynote: - A materialist reexamination of the canonical game crises from a developer's POV - Thoughts on the ongoing game industry restructuring - Indiepocalypse, AAApocalypse, deprofessionalization, games at the knitting stage www.molleindustria.org/HistoryOfGam...

While preparing the trip to Ithaca, I was lucky enough to have a chat with @meghna.bsky.social and @joostvervoort.bsky.social. We discussed taking billionaires to court, their game All Will Rise, and Meghna made a great point about the joy of fighting for good things: youtube.com/shorts/qnFcq...

Have you ever wanted to *play* an @ourchangingclimate.bsky.social or Bobby Broccoli video essay? This game looks like you'll be doing that, with a big serving of Marathon UI, too.

Hey fyi @gracklehq.com is run by one extremely good hearted guy, and it’s still the best site for games industry job listings. It has a patreon that he doesn’t advertise because he’s that selfless. You can support it on patreon and/or kofi

before the green moon is both hugely inspirational to me and criminally underplayed. like what if a tarkovsky film was entirely cast with animal crossing villagers

damn, a few weeks too late, but even game engines are getting in on #manifestojam2026

I'm going to Barbenheimer Toy Story 5 and Jackass 5.

An exceptional deal! A bundle of narrative games ranging from "ooh this is interesting" to "this is an all-time favourite"

I need all the skeuomorphism/fake OS folks' eyes on this game. It's like if you were watching Locke (2013), but it's you who are making all those stressful phone calls.

The demo has a section where Radiohead's "Climbing Up the Walls" plays while the characters walk through what feels like two city block's worth of interconnected foyers, and my mind was screaming "this type of mixed-use urban planning is inconceivable for the American mind."

a friendslop game, because it will turn your friends' characters into slop. into goop. a mush of meat and metal.

Hey folks, yesterday I asked for queer gamedevs to share their games, today I'm asking everyone who's following, dive into the replies here and check out some neat looking games, help out by signal boosting the ones that you like the most!

happy pride month
