RUBATO releases March 20. Demo available on PC & Console. Wishlist now! #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

The section on how a scene is built in David Byrne’s How Music Works still sticks in my mind aa a generalisable guide for any kind of local gathering of creatives.

What @brkeogh.bsky.social put out about the Freeplay is what I’ve been feeling about it too. I showed a game with robot nightclub bouncers at an early Parallels at the opposite end of my current career. It never became much and I didn’t know what I was doing but I felt so much was possible.

“One notable MIT study found that 95 percent of companies that integrated AI saw zero meaningful growth in revenue. For coding tasks, one of AI’s most widely hyped applications, another study showed that programmers who used AI coding tools actually became slower at their jobs.”

Hi all! 🦝 I'm looking for a new position as a game design lead / director! I've been designing games for almost 15 years now (😳) with 6 of those as a lead, on anything from AAA transmedia worlds to experimental indie projects. My website: robin-v.net Please share! (and friends, say hi!) 💜

A petit bourgeoisie you say, that sees its lifestyle and social position under threat you say? Finding exterior enemies and explanations from a rapidly growing facist movement, you say? Nope. Doesn't ring a bell.

If you want a powerful image of normal people standing up against nazis, Sweden has one for you

That's what I'm talking about.

Always remember that minimum standards are exactly that www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

@cronobreak.bsky.social this looks your vibe

Cyberpunk: hey check out how many knives you can hide in your arms! What if you could shoot a gun really cool Qud, somberly: sorry that your 10 legs are now all host to colonies of sentient mushrooms, would you like to drink this warm static in hopes that your reality is reshuffled more optimally?

Happy Public Domain Day all web.law.duke.edu/cspd/publicd...

My kid Tom loves drawing cities, so we made a game where you can draw them like he does! Go play Tom City here -> tomanddad.itch.io/TomCity

Game Pile #9 - more cool games. Some new, but most not that new. open.substack.com/pub/gamepile...

Welcome to the first ever FISHING MINIGAME OF THE YEAR AWARDS!! This is an award show to showcase what I believe to be the best of the year in a bunch of fishing minigame related categories! Every game will be linked to and the developers tagged (if possible) #fishingminigame #indiegame #gameawards

Really keen to ready end of year editorials and recaps this year. 2025 feels like it has been a big inhale before…something. I’m keen to learn if I trace that feeling in the work of others.

ATTENTION ARTISTS AND ANY ASPIRING PIXEL ARTISTS!!! Aseprite is on sale on Steam!! It's a Pixel art program for art/animating and I highly recommend! (I have almost 700 hours in it!) It's $13 and a one time payment for an excellent program!!

in this cold and stormy night, we present to you: ❄️ the cold and dark december update ❄️ ripriprip.itch.io/wareware/dev... get ready for global css, cascading shadows and some fixed bugs?? now we have to back in front of the oven...

There are always more games than time to play them. The whole genAI thing will make it easier to filter that list down a bit at least.

Eject #copilot VS Codium works perfectly: vscodium.com

Just finished this one. A really rewarding experience, leaving you in the dark and making you piece your environment together from thin bits of information. Really funny and horrifying story told through scraps of chatlogs, too. Absolutely worth your time and money.

The next result of AI appearing in everything is that I’m just not engaging with as much of everything anymore. That paperback from the library is as good/bad as it was 10 years ago. It’s not being changed by this stuff.

ANNOUNCEMENT: for the last year, I somehow resisted the temptation to begin a new life-consuming #gamedev project and instead... made 30+ minigames and demos! you're invited to the TwoPM 2025 Demo Disc, today: biscuits.twopm.studio/demo-disc

If you have a personal website with anything cool, be it art, writing, code, tutorials, breakdowns, science, movies, anything, then drop it in a reply, let's get a little thread of gems and non slop human work going. I'll start: I have a blog on 3D Art with guides and tutorials petedimitrovart.com

Register and book a time. I’ve historically had hurdles to giving but now have no excuse. If you too have O- blood, we need it most and can give to all. Make an actual difference. www.lifeblood.com.au

Could all the American influencers pushing in tandem for more guns in Australian just Fuck. The. Hell. Off. Thank you.

people don't want an agentic os they want to do this

ok fine, 50+ indie games. All on Itch, which does not take a 30% cut and subject developers to the worst community imaginable 1. Landlord Quest Short adventure game where you can see a landlord eat shit. Buying on Itch gives you files to run in ScummVM on everything katbrush.itch.io/landlordquest

Latest WIP project in wareware

I released a small game today! Antibody One blendogames.itch.io/antibody-one - you are a cell inside the human body - $1 - about 10-20 minutes long

a customary qrt to remind you that this game exists

Alright, hear me out: cozy wargames. All the fun of gluing tiny parts to plastic models and then painting them, but with 98% less Catholicism. I really feel like this is an untapped market.

pals you gotta quit spotify

I have felt this site descending again into rage like the other site did 😥

A """funny""" thing I've noticed is that if you see a buckwild and totally made up claim on Reddit and then search that claim on Google, trying to source it, the Gemini AI summary will be like "oh, yeah, that totally happened, and my source is that three hour old Reddit thread you were just reading"

Games are forever corrupted by being part of a market almost from their inception.

I’m redressing a Stevie Wonder discography-sized gap in my life I only just discovered.

Chris Person takes a look at Horses, "the indie game that is too scandalous for either Valve or Epic, is only beyond the pale if you're not familiar with any other art form" (quoted from the article blurb). aftermath.site/horses-indie... At least read this paragraph:

I'm incredibly excited to launch Effulgence RPG into Early Access. For the launch I also made a "almost official" trailer with my & my wife. Steam page: store.steampowered.com/app/3302080/... #pcgaming #rpg #turnbased #indiedev #indiegamedev #ascii

By the way, here’s direct links to each storefront that sells @santaragione.com’s HORSES @gog.com: www.gog.com/en/game/horses @humblebundle.com: www.humblebundle.com/store/horses @itch.io: santaragione.itch.io/horses

Arts funding exists in Tasmania actually. You just need to be Dave Grohl. Simple mistake we've all been making. "The state government, Treasurer Eric Abetz said, “helped facilitate” the show with a $500,000 contribution" pulsetasmania.com.au/news/foo-fig... #politas

I’m both very interested in Horses by Santa Ragione and what people will make of it In general.
