I already made over 500 new assets I intended to add to this pack at the start of February before this sale kicked off, but then my wife had our BABY 5 weeks early so I have been A BIT BUSY to say the least 😅 I promise the extra assets will come Soon™️ #gamedev #indiedev

I BOUGHT MY FIRST WHEEL THING

The YoYo Games house was legendary!! ♥️

Sandy offered me a job making games through a Twitter DM in 2010, seven months after I absolutely ruined my A-levels. It is safe to say he changed my entire adult trajectory in a way I would not take back for the world. He was also an amazing boss, just so so fun to work for. Thank you Sandy.

font #981: Breathe Fire V nalgames.com/fonts/breath... as per uzhe, this is included in the all fonts pack license, any purchase past, present or future. (go download + use it commercially!) also fun fact: Breathe Fire (the first) will be 10 years old in 3 weeks today. nalgames.com/fonts/breath...

Now is a great time to buy our 10,000 game asset pack - not only is it on sale but also my wife just had our BABY and I therefore MONEY just became very important to us 😅 ci.itch.io/all-game-ass...

In the beginning, there was an argument for 30%. building Infrastructure, SDKs, hosting etc. But now...The infrastructure/hosting for a single game, is peanuts for most games. Ironically, it's the massive games that'll really cost them, and they tend to get sweetheart deals anyway. 10-15% is fair.

nildigo's in-game help manual is an 88-page magazine with details on every perk, fake advertisements, perk synergy tips, and a full in-depth deep-dive into the game's mechanics in every way. my graphic design batteries are depleted tyvm #gamemaker #indiedev #gamedev

font #980: Half Awake nalgames.com/fonts/half-a... all fonts pack users: this one's also included! download it and use it commercially however you like.

by using these fonts in your game, it automatically becomes part of the backgroundese cinematic universe /s

We've made a family of fonts we call Backgroundese for creating nonsense text in your games and other projects! 100% Free for commercial use. #GameDev

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
