One month ago we launched Hermit and Pig on Steam!👴🏽🐷 The game was made by just the two of us over 5 years. We wrote it, programmed it, drew it, composed the music, and somehow shipped a full game. This pic's from launch day when it all got real🍄 #indiegame #indiedev

I've been really enjoying Esoteric Ebb, a narrative game that crosses Disco Elysium with Dungeons & Dragons by way of Douglas Adams. It's goofy and very entertaining. My favorite gag: the main character gets *really* excited any time it seems like an NPC might have a quest for him. Comes out today!

Wax Heads on May 5th and Mixtape on May 7th?? Time to take the whole month off work 🎧 😭 💜

The itch demo is stellar: wildwits.itch.io/sovereign-to...

This week (and month) is ridiculously packed. I’ve spent 6+ hours playing the Esoteric Ebb demo and the first Slay The Spire is an all-time fav. And @glowfroggames.bsky.social ‘s Pieced Together drops on the 6th. Trying to find more hours in the day for games.

I got to play Pieced Together by @glowfroggames.bsky.social early (thank you for the code) and it was wonderful. Got me a touch teary eyed by the end, too. I’d been looking forward to it since seeing @codecoven.bsky.social post about it on IG back in April of 2024. youtu.be/TjH0SYVDQFQ?...

I’m very upset, but I’ve got nothing of substance to contribute to the conversation on this platform. When you see me posting through it about random stuff, don’t confuse it for apathy.

If you are enjoying the Australia Did It Demo, please don't forget to wishlist the game and leave a review. It does really help :) store.steampowered.com/app/3859010/...

Please be kind to each other. I’m going to keep doing my best to make the world a nicer place to be in my own unique way. I hope you do too.

Beyond excited to share that Fishbowl is part of PAX Rising at PAX East! This is one of those moments that feels unbelievable as a small, two person team based in India. Something we wished for since before starting our game dev journey. Thank you @officialpax.bsky.social for having our game! 🥹💜🙌🏽

Metacritic has sent a reminder email to all games site editors/publishers which is pretty strong, and great:

I’m transgender, I live in Kansas, if you want to help rn donate to either the ACLU of Kansas or the ACE foundation in Wichita - the ACE foundation especially is the organization that will help people with money for groceries, rent, etc. More orgs also included in attached img acefoundationict.org

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

Describe your favorite games poorly: - Orphan wakes up in the trash, topples government.

Our whole industry is getting wrecked by this nonsense. We've got AI reviews on metacritic now. The "reviewer" even has a chat-gpt created avatar, as you can see here: bsky.app/profile/mark...

For the second year in a row, we're celebrating International Transgender Day of Visibility by showcasing transgender runners on GDQ Hotfix!! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ Submissions are open now through March 1st and we can't wait to celebrate with you all when we go live March 21st-22nd!

i really can not emphasize enough that the most materially impactful thing you can do for trans people right now is hire them.
