steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

ATTENTION the game is out THIS IS NOT A DRILL!! This is one of the hardest things I've done in m life but right not the exhaustion has been replaced by joy 😭 Localisation coming very soon, wait for me my loves 💜

a neat little deduction game, I love the collage-style art direction so much and the puzzles were fun to pick through!

Ive played an unbelievable amount of awesome indie games i never woulda heard of if a friend hadnt posted "just played this game! it was pretty neat!" sometimes thats all it takes!

Random person who plays indie games, you are the most important cog in an indie game's success. Most gamers don't know or care that indies exist.... unless a friend tells them. Our games succeed because you tell other people you liked our game. Word of mouth is the best marketing there is.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

At the start of a game you are establishing what the player needs to be thinking about while playing. What are you teaching them to think about?

Hey bsky. My favorite thing right now is forward-facing Brewer's Blackbirds. Just so you know. Show me your forward-facing birds! 🎨🪶 #BirdArt #SciArt

if you dislike AI and like me you were about to buy the new ANNO, probably worth reading this

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics" guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

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". 💀💀💀

Congratulations to the nominees of the accessibility categories of this year's @indiegameawards.gg and @grandgameawards.bsky.social!

Open AI loses copyright case in Germany. Judge Elke Schwager summarized the case saying that if you want to build something and need components, "then you purchase them and do not use the property of others."

"A well-localized game title is marketing fuel, legal armor, and cultural bridge—all in a handful of characters." @georgeou.bsky.social signs a title localization goldmine with deeply documented cases: a 10/10 read 📑

Please continue making calls to Visa and Mastercard, because they are working alongside conservative legislators to crack down on free speech and expression! A dual pronged offense requires a dual pronged defense!

As indie devs, sometimes we don't have the resources to provide every accessibility setting ever, but I am really proud of Leo for their work on Amadeus' control scheme, and their thoughtfulness in making kb/mouse combinations as flexible as possible! I am sure it's gonna help someone a lot! #a11y

This is a thoroughly delightful video from some linguists in Finland marrying Finnish etymology with Finnish folk dancing and even if you know nothing about any of these things their enthusiasm is contagious (and it has English subtitles) youtu.be/0FoOuV76vKA?...

in Paris, I had to see a same-day doctor & I found one. was gravely warned that, as a foreigner, I’d have to pay 32 euros & I laughed & laughed a friend there said “make sure you get X kind of doctor, not Y, because the Y kind charges 74 WHOLE EUROS” & once again I bitterly, bitterly laughed 😭
