a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

We got to learn some really fun (and highly relevant to our Blue Prince convo) Jill lore during this episode!! It was an absolute dream getting to chat with Jill and Kate about one of my favorite games of 2025 😍

Here’s my breakdown of EA’s pending sale… to Saudi Arabia… and why this is much, much bigger than video games. I’m late to this from a ‘news’ perspective obviously, but it’s because I worked on this video for about a month. youtu.be/yOzFyrRH_sw

💌 We are launching a newsletter 💌 @blibloop.bsky.social and I will use this to send monthly devlogs where we tell you about what we are working on and other stories around Milky Trail's development. The first mail should arrive in one or two weeks, subscribe now to receive it 🌻 Link below ⬇️

Hey #PitchYaGame 🪷 I'm Doot, an #indiedev, and we made 3 small cute games with @blibloop.bsky.social and @zakkuu.bsky.social: 🪲 A cute bug collection game 🌻🐝 🧋 A cozy street management game 🦝🚲 🛹 A tiny roguelike with a magician skater frog ⚔️🐸 You can get them all for less than $10!

I love Square Enix so much, and seeing this makes me upset. If this does happen, then I guess I won't be buying any new Square games.

ATTENTION TO ALL MY PRESS AND STREAMING FRIENDS: As we lead in to the release of Demonschool, now is the time to get me on your podcast to talk about things, do interviews, etc. I can talk about things other than my game, but also hopefully my game. Hit me up if you want conversations like the below

5.5 years ago, I started the #PitchYaGame movement to give #IndieGames a voice. The video game world is exponentially competitive. PYG is a window; a lens into depths of creativity. 2 days out of 365 we get to recognise, and celebrate indies worldwide. For that, I'm proud. 🤗

Very much looking forward to Demon School and - as a player (who hasn’t even played either Hollow knight game) I was thankful that they moved out of September. It was a packed month for indies (Hades II, Consume Me)

It is Not Going Well out here man

The coming month is absolutely crazy: 2 games in #SteamAnimalFest and 2 games in #CozyQuest2025?! These are my favorite festivals ever and they are happening one after another, so I decided to put all our games on discount for the full duration of both events, starting next week!

I’d played so much of the demo and figured out what kind of builds that I liked that I just rolled credits on my 3rd run. Now time to amp of the difficulty and make silly builds.

Happy new episode day!! Anyone feeling déjà vu? Ep. 54 covers the time loop RPG In Stars and Time by @insertdisc5.com! Huge thanks again to @rachelwatts.bsky.social for joining us for an incredibly fun chat!! 💜 Listen below or wherever you get your pods 🎧 nosmallgames.com/2025/11/ep-5...

Just checking you all know about Spirit Swap, the game that came out this year that I directed alongside many incredibly skilled friends and workers! We’re a majority (uh I’m pretty sure 100% tbh) marginalized people co-op and self-published! Please check out our trailer I love it so much!

I sincerely hope Democrats pay attention to tonight’s results across the country. They won’t learn anything but still. Maybe. People are excited by change and original campaigns and bold ideas and candidates under the age of 50!

Being anti-trans is loser behavior and I can prove it statistically.

And now Mikie Sherrill A major loss for anti-trans ads tonight.

Decision Desk HQ is the first to call a race, saying Abigail Spanberger wins. The anti-trans attacks seem to have failed in Virginia. Virginia was the ground zero after Youngkin won on a fledgeling anti-trans platform in 2021.

With so many new games on the horizon, we decided to create a monthly newsletter to help you keep track of upcoming releases! Links below to view this month's letter and sign up for future emails ⬇️

New in PN: Virginia and New Jersey can show that Trump isn't inevitable "A powerful performance this Tuesday could help break the feverish doom loop of Democratic self-recrimination and elite capitulation which has contributed to our flatulent descent into fascist thuggery."

We had so much fun recording with @rachelwatts.bsky.social!! Honestly it felt like 90% slumber-party-indie-gaming-girls-hangout-sesh and 10% podcast recording 😍 We had a blast and both Rachel and Kate expanded my thinking on In Stars and Time! Such a fascinating and beautiful game.

So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI! This is truly insane. Total unreality. www.foxnews.com/media/snap-b...

After yesterday’s move, I’ve now lived in three state capitals. Not sure what to make of that, just a random realization

The "Garden Update" 🐛 for #MakeRoom will release in November adding many new plants and other garden items. It'll also introduce additional garden shapes, and new features like an unrestricted camera!

Still taking cognitive damage days after seeing that Cuomo slop ad which encouraged people to go to ChatGPT to confirm the facts for themselves 🫠

we're baaaaack ~ see you all in december!

Sorry for being gauche but if you want to get invested in media about witches that isn’t racist garbage that enables a transphobe, check out a game made by a majority of trans people including yours truly. Bonus it helps fund my hopeful escape from this hell.

I made a few screens of what the game could look like using the first assets we have🌼

I reached out to The White House and asked about its use of AI-generated Halo imagery. White House Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai just responded to me, and it's insane. I've removed the paywall. Please share and subscribe if you can. www.patreon.com/posts/exclus...

this is a great reminder to buy physical copies of stuff. Hate that spotify runs 🧊 ads? Buy the cd or record! hate that HBO is running 🧊 ads too? YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY HAS MOVIES/SHOWS TO CHECK OUT

So...The Séance of Blake Manor is my favorite game of 2025 so far. A first person murder mystery with detailed investigation mechanics, superb writing, and atmosphere. Also the best game about Irish History I've ever played Bravo @spookydoorway.bsky.social 👏 store.steampowered.com/app/1395520/...

This is appalling and if Xbox doesn’t do something about it then they’re on the line for this marketing too

More games need to let me play as a frog who both rides/surfs on their weapon & beats the shit out of baddies with it

If your company cannot hire any voice actors, don't put voice acting in your game. This AI voice acting crap is bad.

As we continue making Capy Castaway, we wanted to start a devlog series to share more about what goes on behind the scenes! First up, we talk about testing remote play - after Gamescom, it was clear to us that co-op gameplay is essential. 🎮 www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY8f... #indiedev #cozygames
