I fear I have unleashed a great evil

we’re phantom friends, a new indie fund. our focus is on low light worlds. we're drawn to the umbral and moody, the glow of a city at night, a darkness that feels alive. games that live in the shadows, both visually and narratively.

It’s time for this starship to take flight - Generation Exile has launched in Steam Early Access and is available right now! store.steampowered.com/app/2963240/...

I am such a terrible marketer for my own games...sigh.. However I MUST TRY HARDER!! if you were holding off on leaping into The Horror At Highrook for some reason... Its currently 30% off as part of the Steam Scream Spooky Festival!!! store.steampowered.com/app/2836860/...

I'm judging the pitch competition at the conference 4 PM - 5 PM on Saturday, November 15 - If you're around Baltimore / DC you should come out! It's exciting to see Baltimore's game dev scene expanding.

Happy Halloween! All aboard the Spooky Express! 🚂 All the passengers are just dying to ride... spooky.express

Damn. This is such a good idea + execution!

ENTER THE PRISON My survival horror game, panoptique, now has a Steam page! Watch the teaser and wishlist it here: store.steampowered.com/app/4100350/... #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #horror #horrorgame #gamedev #solodev #godot #godotengine

disappointing game launch grief. very real among game devs, rarely public. i’m seeing one unfold publicly now, but don’t wanna draw attention to it. it’s sad. i want to say it’ll be ok, but in truth it won’t.

our new game, in brief! friend 1 gets a card with say ★★ on it, friend 2 pulls a ★★★★ card. then you draw a topic, maybe “animal,” and pick one (1) animal you think friend 1 would rate ★★ and friend 2 would rate ★★★★. guess right and win their card(s)! on KS soon: www.kickstarter.com/projects/bra...

This is so cool!

I know what you're thinking: "But the magic of my enemies is weak, and their gods are hollow idols!" But what if I told you... that your enemies are thinking the same thing... about YOUR magic, and YOUR gods? And here's what's gonna make the difference: your enemies aren't in this seminar right now.

THIS IS DERANGED (COMPLIMENTARY)

Diligently working on my Mancala Rogue like when life is not completely collapsing around us lol #TurnbasedThursday #gamedev bsky.app/profile/perr...

@ezra-szanton.itch.io and @shanedenhardt.bsky.social get up to some good looking shenanigans sometimes.

Help!🆘

If you enjoy logical deduction, big numbers, and spooky puppets, you must check out Mr Magpie's Harmless Card Game!

I've been really enjoying @gothiclorduk.bsky.social's series on Mr Magpie's Harmless Card Game! He's quickly becoming very good at the game www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Thanks Harry! I want to write an article on "the mountain and the playground" soon.

Mr Magpie once again on the front page of itch!

@ezra-szanton.itch.io on input and output randomness:

Last Sunday, I chatted about design in UFO 50 at a preview event for @roguelike.club & here's the video: tinyurl.com/3j7afb2c Also, be sure to keep watching after for two *excellent* talks by @ezra-szanton.itch.io and @apepers.bsky.social on synergy in deckbuilding & systems suspense respectively

Blood moon event in-game vs. Blood moon IRL (UFO-tier image) #gamedev #indiegame #bloodmoon #pixelart

The second episode will go live next Tuesday. It's the first episode of a two-part banger with @pengonauts.com and @boxdragon.bsky.social (Star Vaders and As We Descend). Info on the rest of the season/sign up for email (transcripts, other articles, etc) here: my.playful.work/new-podcast-...

Talking to Harry was an absolute delight!

It's been 1 year since we released the Shroom and Gloom prototype!🎉 Created over 3 months, the prototype was created to asses the viability of turning Shroom and Gloom into a full game. Here's how it turned out, alongside the OG jam game made in 10 days: #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment

In case you missed it! youtu.be/Cirv4UzNTx8?... (timestamp to the excellent fireside chat with @perryjon.bsky.social, which my talk is after)

Soon!!!

I'm speaking about Synergy Networks in Roguelike Deckbuilders at @roguelike.club later today! 7pm EST. Tickets are free: ti.to/roguelike-ce... See you there! (In the very cool conference MUD they've got set up)

I spent 45 minutes with silksong and these are my first impressions: is this real? Events appear to transpire beyond some sort of barrier or screen I cannot influence aside from pressing buttons on my "side" of the dividing medium, but if these bugs are really doing all that it should be on the news

The Roguelike Celebration Preview Event is this Sunday at 3PM PST, with special guests: UFO50's @perryjon.bsky.social talking game design @ezra-szanton.itch.io talking synergy in deckbuilders @apepers.bsky.social talking design for suspense And come explore our MUD's dazzling, delightful circus!

I'm so hyped for this! The interview I did with Harry was super fun, and the lineup of other guests is STACKED! Devs who made: Luck be a Landlord Starvaders As We Descend Ballionaire And more! TBH I'm kinda annoyed my interview is going up first because now I have to wait to hear the others

For the longest time I didn't understand why people were so hung up on output randomness. You just adapt your strategy to the game's sampled output distribution. Surely that's something everyone does. It didn't seem like an 'afront'. Then I read this study: arstechnica.com/science/2025...

The demo was excellent and I'm so excited for the full release!

I'm a huge fan of Jon Perry's work (my current game, Mr Magpie, is inspired by Party House which he designed) so I'm extra excited to both be presenting at the Roguelike Celebration preview event!

We have a preview event on September 7, 2025 at 3 PM Pacific! Tickets are free here: ti.to/roguelike-ce...
