ANNOUNCEMENT: I will stop running "scheduled" Ludum Dare events in 3 years! "Scheduled" is the key word though. My hope is that leaders within the community can build something better, more welcoming, that honors our legacy. They've got 3 years to figure it out. You even get to study me. 😋 #LDJam

An AI dares to dream that she is human. You’ve been hired to put her in her place. We’re sunset visitor 斜陽過客, the creators of 1000xRESIST, and this is our next game: Prove You’re Human. Published by our friends at @blacktabbygames.com. s.team/a/4533950

i wonder if most recent art about ai will age well or bad. probably both

If ya'll could boost my game I'd very much appreciate it! Trying to get to 50 reviews for the Steam algorithm. I already have glowing reviews from the likes of Raigan Burns (N++) and Daniel Linssen (Leap Year) and just need a handful more. Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3641010/...

one of my fav video game facts nobody talks about is that popcap just ripped off peggle from incredible technologies who put out a game with the same name and strikingly similar gameplay in 1991. they have never acknowledged this in any interview i can find it even has the ball catcher mechanic

please help me hit 10 reviews on steam! that's apparently the magic number where god himself smiles upon me and i would like to feel something other than the cold embrace of the void, if only for a moment.

its crazy how much discourse there was over roger ebert "games aren't art", like if you actually read the posts its clear he's working in a very very specific definition of both games and art and acts kind of confused when people use the terms differently. everyone just talking past eachother

feels like in order to be a Recognised Game Developer and Foster Community, you gotta luck out and be born in canada or sweden or somewhere. where's all the northern irish indie meet ups

Happy #TransDayOfVisibility! Please spare some visibility to UNSIGHTED! Made by two Latina trans devs: me + @ironfairy.bsky.social Top-down metroidvania focused on sequence breaking, speedrunning, and a queer plot Out now on all major platforms: store.steampowered.com/app/1062110/... #indiegame

indie game dev is a small club. and we all talk. about you. we all love you so much but we're scared to tell you

New game called K.C. Climber where you climb up a mountain! Hope you enjoy! sirmilkman.itch.io/kc-climber

a difficult platforming puzzle from a late-game optional area. had fun making this one!

A hand-crafted interactive political allegory written in the author's mother tongue. One intricate vignette about 19 national birds, a red planet and freedom. My upcoming game "Kansallislintuja; punaisessa planeetassa." can now be wishlisted on Steam! (link below)

across the great divide

so much "conventional game design wisdom" is predicated on the idea that intuitive responses to stimuli must be dogma, rather than the result of years of arbitrary language they've become accustomed to. frustrates me. we need to get meaner, have a bit of venom behind our decisions

Announcing our next game... VERSE UNKNOWN!🌻 Journey through the necklace dimension of Lehr, and help Marrow make a better life for herself and her sister. You can wishlist it on Steam now! Demo's coming later this year!

i hate those madlibs style twitter/bsky bots, not because they arent funny - they often are - but because half of them that end up on my feed aren't particularly notable examples of generative comedy, they're just someone finding nonsense funny. which is fine! but that's literally most of it

you can now pay what you want for my silly freeware web games if that's something anyone ever would want to do

feels like ive seen several publications state some form of "text in games is bad, actually" lately. you can pry my Instructions from my cold dead hands not everything needs to be learned through play. i dont care if gamers can't read

RUBATO. Out now on PC & Console. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

proud to announce my upcoming indie game will be featured in the "indie games if they weren't dog shit" showcase

post about a game i didnt love or hate leaves-house.neocities.org/blog/2026/ma...

the bluesky discover page seems to think i want to see an eclectic variety of niche fetish content

WIZARD PUNKS!!! is OUT RIGHT NOW! Go play it! store.steampowered.com/app/3332770/... #wizardpunks #indiedev #gamedev

i like it when video games are not afraid to look like video games

something I feel but I'm not sure i believe is that describing art before it's made kind of.. de-enriches it? especially conceptually, if you go into what a piece *means* to you early, or even before a single bit of work is done, it instantly devalues it in a way invisible.

i wish bsky had a little link tab on the profile. like there's something that feels Arrogant about putting my website or my email in my bio, but the location tab on twitter? that's fine. that's understated, modest, refined

lol my mom is cleaning out her files and found this “declaration” I wrote when I was 12 (I strongly preferred bananas)

Blown away by this showcase today, everything in it is so fascinating and inspiring. I wanna make more games that are like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og6_...

What Would You Do Alone In A Cage With Nothing But A Computer?

A big draw of the game-design-by-A/B-testing type thinking is that it absolves you from having to form your own opinions & taste. It allows you to outsource the most difficult part of any creative endeavour: actually believing in your vision.

no hate to the developer but "what if disco elysium was based on dnd 5e" is maybe the least appealing a video game pitch could be for me

Ear doctor: Don’t use Q-Tips Me already imagining putting a screw driver I found in the driveway in my ear when I get home: I womt

before "content" there was "art style" and not enough people are suspicious of the latter. the idea that artistic particulars are just an interchangeable, contextless layer you slather on products is deeply rooted in the way we think about games.

I have a demo! GAARL is a single screen arcade-y platformer roguelike about climbing chains. My name ended up in the acronym (Gabe's Action Arcade RogueLike) but Pancelor also put a lot of work into this. It is playable in the browser, check it out! matthewlacker.itch.io/gaarl-demo

I'm "on the left." That means I edit st*netoss comics to make them even more epic and I pepper phrenological and trans eradicationist terms into every sentence

what a crazy night for sam altman to be like "yeah we got that dept of war deal, and there's no moral concerns here"

holy fuck

the most annoying guy you've ever met either has nohello.net or dontasktoask.com in their bio

new blog post: how to make a successful indie game ivysly.com/blog/how-to-...

the worst part of how people talk about the beginner's guide is while yes it's definitely a game about it's ending, it's also just a very good anthology. the individual 'levels' are really great, and I wish people would talk about them more. I think people are too scared of "being davey" to do so
