Présentez vous via ce qui a failli vous tuer : Bonjour, je suis la tempête du Pukkelpop de 2011, et plus spécifiquement un chapiteau qui s'effrondre. (ce jour-là j'ai découvert mes skills de ninja en faisant des sauts au-dessus de tables et de bancs que je n'aurais jamais pu imaginer)

Faisons des jeux bof, des jeux cassés, des non-jeux, des jeux bizarres, des jeux pas fun, des jeux vulgaires... Arretons de nous aliéner avec la first-hour-experience, avec n'être jamais ennuyeux, avec des gameplay loop, avec des montages de trailers et capsules Steam...

Happy last day of 2025, y'all. We survived another year. Yay. It's kinda dreading for me to read through everyone's recap. I mean, it's great! And I'm happy for you! But when it comes to looking at my own year… I can only see a year of grieving. Again.

#artvsartist 2025! It's been quite a ride, so here's a little retrospective ✨ 2025 has been quite harsh for the video game industry, and despite some good releases, it's quite hard not to think about all the layoffs and studio closures we've been through. (1/X)

‘everyone in gamedev is using AI’ the business dumdums are using it to generate decks and write bad copy. They think it’s good because they think their basic lore ideas make a good game. that’s it that’s who is using AI

You have to play it. Edgar - Bokbok in Boulzac helped me a lot back in the days when I was looking for Caravan SandWitch’s writing tone! It’s fun!!

just make smaller fucking games, dude

Alright gang, there's a Senior Level Designer opening on my team. You know the drill. 👇 Please pass this along and AMA* jobs.zenimax.com/requisitions...

As we approach the end of the year, I'm wrapping up some wonderful projects 💫 That also means… I'll have room for new clients starting February 2026! You're welcome to DM me if you need any kind of narrative support (EN/FR) for your game 💗

Y'all the update is so cool!

European game unions combine forces to protest against AI, toxic workplaces and layoffs www.gamesindustry.biz/european-gam...

I'm not going to re-write a whole piece I already wrote 8 years ago, so here www.vice.com/en/article/s...

Watching your players find the little clues you hide everywhere in a game and theorycrafting/realizing what's going on is like the best reward ever.

Meet the 5 shopkeepers of my cozy murder-mystery game! 🔍✨ The visuals are still rough, but each has their own quirks and secrets. 
As the detective, you’ll chat with them to uncover the truth, and maybe buy gifts for your dates 👀🛍️ #IndieGame #MysteryGame #IndieDev

Stop using AI for placeholder assets. Use sketches. Use lorem ipsum. Use bright pink materials. Use programmer art for fucks sake, literally anything else. If your studio is using AI even for temp, even if they think they've covered their tracks, SPEAK UP because people WILL FIND IT

We had a fantastic time at @arttoplay this weekend! ❤️ Having the opportunity to meet all of you was really wonderful, and we loved seeing you play our game and try to defeat our special boss! 💫 Is there anywhere you want us to go? Tell us in the comments!💬

Wednesdays is ✨ free ✨ for World Children's Day in order to raise awareness about child sexual abuse. Grab it on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2747770/... or Itch: artefrance.itch.io/wednesdays before November 21th 9PM CET!

This is what a placeholder asset looks like.

No.

Don't forget Craftists! 💬 Tomorrow and Sunday, for our French friends, we will be at Art-to-play in Nantes to let you test our game for free! 💫 For all the Craftists coming, we prepared two special adventures and some gifts too! ❤️ So come say hi, we'll be more than happy! 😍

Les prochains mois me font très peur, si vous voyez passer des missions de narrative design/game writing, pensez à moi svp 🙏🙏 (honnêtement, je cherche un job alimentaire pour essayer de tanker, si vous connaissez une librairie sur Lyon qui cherche du renfort ou que sais-je, je suis preneur)

Curious about our biome creation process? We made a full breakdown! ❤️ This is a kind of general breakdown, but we will dive deeper into it in our next video on our YouTube channel!🔥 Any biome idea for us? Tell us in the comments!💬

Reminder → I'm presenting my course tonight at 5pm (Paris time) and hopefully convince you it is very cool and very useful.

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied: "Because that's my show and nobody gets to tell me how I should use my platform". 💀💀💀

EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award. The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.

🍂Days of Plenty has gone live in Hello Kitty Island Adventure! 🍁🍂 Please look forward to a breakdown on the outfits and decor for this theme 👀 It's truly one of the cosiest sets we've worked on and are super excited for you to customise with it. ✨🍁

"why are games so expensive" "why are mass layoffs happening" "why are games getting cancelled" "why did that popular studio close" it's capitalism. capitalism is why all of this is happening. the rampant prioritizing of profit over the all else, from price and quality to dev health and well being.

Teamcraft Studios wishes you a spooky Halloween! 🎃 As you get ready for the festivities, it's time to watch a good horror movie, play the scariest game ever, and go trick-or-treating with friends. 🕷️ To get you in the spirit, take a look at this artwork done by our art director, Parigraf.🎨

Still hard at work on my little murder mystery / dating game!
Been deep in coding lately, so not much visual progress to show.👩🏻‍💻 #indiedev #indiegame

Manifestation nationale 🇧🇪 ce 14/10 contre les mesures d'austérité des gouvernements fédéral et régionaux. Austérité pour les services publics et les droits des travailleurs, avantages fiscaux pour les hauts salaires et baisses d'imposition sur le capital. Retour sur deux aspects de cette manif (1)

Aujourd'hui, c'est grève nationale en Belgique ! ✊ Notre très cher gouvernement Arizona a montré qu'il voulait faire travailler les gens plus longtemps, dans des conditions de plus en plus précaires, pour au final toucher une plus petite retraite.

Mais quelle grosse farce ce budget de la Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles 🤡

Here's how we handle manchildren on the Steam forums at No More Robots:

EXCLUSIVE on Game Developer. We dug deep into the last two years of life at ProbablyMonsters—a period marked by mismanagement, alleged surveillance, and a CEO who "loves to talk shit." If you don't know ProbablyMonsters, it's the company where Firewalk Studios began work on Concord.

I've got a book coming out soon, and if you sign up for my mailing list, you'll be the very first to know when it comes out—and when you'll get to read about Eris, Comet Halley, and how one romance in Neptune orbit will change the fate of the Solar System forever! news.loveconquersallgames.com

Les vrais enjeux

🌞

Je sais pas pourquoi mais aujourd'hui j'ai envie de rappeler l'existence d'un truc cool en Belgique : le cordon sanitaire. AKA: on ne parle pas, on ne se plie pas, on ne traite pas avec l'extrême droite. Leur répondre et les écouter c'est leur donner la parole à ces sacs de merde.

📢ANNOUNCEMENT! We are thrilled to introduce Crushed In Time, an elastic point-and-click game with Sherlock and Watson from There Is No Game! 🗓️Coming 9202 ❓On PC, Mac, Switch, iOS and Android 💬Fully voiced with subtitles in 10 langages 👉Wishlist NOW!

Ultra proud of our team 🥹 From concept to finish, this the first set we've crafted completely from scratch at Cosmic Cloud. ✨ Like it? There's more like this to come so stick around~

I'm doing a master class in Antwerp on September 10th. It's called Qᴜᴀɴᴛᴜᴍ ᴏꜰ ɪᴍᴍᴇʀꜱɪᴏɴ and it will be extremely nerdy. It's about making video games that are ɪᴍᴍᴇʀꜱɪᴠᴇ on purpose. Rather than, you know, by accident. More info here: gamaste.net/game-ux-summ...
