terfs will have no lasting cultural impact

Hello! Myself, @ashleygwinnell.bsky.social and @heydanthomas.bsky.social are back again in 2026 with IMPACT! Indie Games. You can check out what we do here! ✨😊 impress.games/impact/2025

to "celebrate" FKR19, my 19th annual FKR game, I've completely filled out the new look of the games section on my website. 200-odd games, mostly free, almost all available, ready to download nalgames.com/games #gamemaker #gamedev #indiedev #madewithgamemaker

This is Nildigo by @allis.ink - it's a puzzle roguelite with elements of Picross, Minesweeper and Voltorb Flip! We're preparing for release in 2026 but you can already play a demo build & add to your wishlist now on Steam :) store.steampowered.com/app/3769010/... #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Some of the oldest things I have online: artwork from 2000, and my old 64digits blog from 2006, when I still used "Notalot" rather than NAL as my moniker. I also have all but 1 game I've ever made, going back to my first ever game Gemocide (March 2003), on my website. nalgames.com/games/gemocide

If anyone in the pack has a love for minesweeping/picross style games we'd love them to try out the demo for Nildigo and give us feedback! store.steampowered.com/app/3769010/...

Sent some money this way; RTGame's doing a fundraiser and his video for it's been demonetised. Go donate if you can! (bunch of good games if you do £35!) tilt.fyi/xbtTUH4wvD

*internal happy screaming*

the worst thing about this is Etsy are AWFUL for managing stolen art. it's a per-item long-winded takedown request, and these people often have multiple listings it's cheaper per font for our official font packs, or FREE for personal use, and then you end up with proper versions with legal licenses

"Boy I wish I had a huge collection of unique fonts for my various and sundry artistic purposes" Chequered Ink: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTn7...

if you're an indie writer that designs your own covers and marketing graphics, like me, this is a great deal that fits neatly into a shoestring budget

If you design anything at all, this is a purchase you will never regret. Incredible value and such a range of fonts.

I got this pack last time they did this and it’s great

Nildigo's final Perk count: 333. Here's the master art doc for all of their icons. this is more art than I have ever done in a game before, and it isn't including *all of the rest of the game*. wishlist Nildigo / try the demo: store.steampowered.com/app/3769010/... #gamemaker #gamedev #indiedev

I took advantage of this deal last time and now you get to make the same great decision!

As part of the 2025 year-end celebrations, a year in which we saw @chequered.ink thrive with an amazing deal idea by @danjohnston.uk - a deal which is BACK ON! ci.itch.io/all-fonts-pa... - Here's a thread of my biography, my history, and my world of game and font creation!

An absolute game dev hero is, devastatingly, on her way out. Her kids are using this money to arrange a tribute worthy of her. Genuinely horrible news. Thank you for everything you've done for the industry I love so much, and the community I love so equally, Rebecca. gofund.me/4b8c890d0 #gamedev

Wow, this looks promising! Time for testing! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3864550 #gamedev #indiedev #steamdemo #freetoplay #newgame

Microsoft Publisher is being retired, and Microsoft are literally deleting it off the face of the earth - it's leaving 365 this time next year + doesn't seem to be on sale from them now. Whelp. End of an era I guess - been using it over 20 years. Thanks, subscriptions. (signed: Adobe CS6 holdout.)

unexpectedly, Life in Real Time has been featured on opera's gx games! most importantly, my friend has seen a lil uptick in interest on the song he wrote & performed for its ending. go listen to it: it's lovely. (a ton of his work is.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lppx...
