Please wishlist! #wishlistwednesday #indiegamedev

The Steam page for our first game is now LIVE! 🎮✨ We've heard wishlists are pretty important. (Please wishlist us!) 🐊 store.steampowered.com/app/4218800/...

I’m leaving MCV/DEVELOP in the new year, which means that I’m available for work! If you need: - Narrative / Game Design - Screenwriting or Comic Scripts - News - Reviews - Interviews - Features - Mock Reviews & Consultancy … or anything else we offer over at hologramghost.com, please hit me up!

I'm really really struggling to find potential Sponsors for @limitbreak.co.uk at the moment We're not looking for huge amounts of money. We're a very lean programme thanks to our amazing volunteers! Can you help? Look at out Sponsorship Deck or share this post 💖 limitbreak.co.uk/sponsorform

Some advice from a couple of years ago that I still think most creative people need to hear --

I’m super happy to officially announce our next project, spearheaded by @threeohfour.bsky.social! “Gilt” is a sci-fi/fantasy game about a priest haunted by a dying God. Learn more (and wishlist!) over here: store.steampowered.com/app/3979770

“You know, fair use is fair use and we need to make sure that we’re not stealing people’s intellectual property and rights but..." No! There is no "but" here! That statement ends with a period, not a "but".

Thinking about all the pots I can smash in your cabin.

we don't just need to be funding small studios to make one game, we need to be funding them to make the ones they can fuck up before they can make the ones they learn from.

To those sharing visuals (art, comics, photos, etc) that they didn't create themselves: please include credit/tag the HUMAN CREATOR. Only share if you know that the person who created it won't mind. Don't just screenshot someone else's work to boost your own social media. #PicturesMeanBusiness

This is a great read. Also: important to realise that this industry has become *persistently terrifying* for your favourite devs, and that is no atmosphere in which to be creative. Try to buy games, if you're able. Buy lots of games. Review and share them if you love them. Talk about them.

RIP to my Switch 2, time to send it off for repairs 🥲

We're working on Nothing's Ever Really Dead, a point-and-click adventure game where you and the ghost of your best friend solve the murder of your best friend. It's a cyberpunk comedy! #PitchYaGame

Making the most out of my art degree this Halloween

To publishers posting about newly-launched books: PLEASE include the names of the creators, not just the title of the book. This not only helps boost authors & illustrators (who are going thru a rough time right now) but also shows that you support HUMAN creators. Thank you.

Hey, that's what we're making!

Authors & publishers posting abt illustrated books or using an illustrator's work to promote a book, pls credit ILLUSTRATOR. Not only are you helping boost artist but it shows people that you or your publisher hired a HUMAN artist. #PicturesMeanBusiness art @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social #KidLit

Silksong Day!

Reposting because omg it's finally coming out on September 4th! #silksong

Happy National Silksong Day to those who celebrate #silksong

If you actually have a reasonable budget to hire an artist for your project, TELL THEM IN YOUR INITIAL EMAIL TO THEM. Right off the bat. Here is the project, this is what I can pay, this is the deadline. We get so many time wasters it’s remarkably refreshing when a potential client is upfront

I feel like it can't be understated how impactful even a relatively small percentage of people's audience supporting them can be. Like, if 5% of the people who love the work an artist does subbed to them on Patreon, that would probably be close to a livable wage for most of them.
