It is not a good day to be expecting to get on a flight...

Think we're all packed now for Taipei Game Show... #cats #caturday

Oh my lord THANK YOU

Sound design for #horror games is infinitely enjoyable...

One of our absolute favourite games. 💖 Really showcases what #indiegames are all about.

✨We're heading to Taipei Game Show in Taiwan! We'll be meeting with other #indiegame devs and partners at this massive event, and showing Neo Harbor and our 🌹new game🌹 behind closed doors. Do you make #GameMaker games? We want to meet you! #gamedev #tgs

👏 Stop 👏 holding 👏 lav 👏 mics

If Canada was a Mega Man X robot, our name would be Pragmatic Beaver

One #indiegame ProTip we learned after many years: save one really fun, little task at the end of the day to be your first task the next morning. 🙌 Wake up excited to get to add that juice, tweak that animation, etc. so you start the day on a high note and build momentum. #gamedev

Our game room's dramatic lighting somehow makes #horror games even freakier...

We've been replaying Resident Evil Village this week and now we have to spend the day shovelling because of the Ontario snow storm... ❄️🪏 Should have played a beach volleyball game instead! #gamedev #indiegame

CASSETTE BOY is finally out. Years of graphics, programming, and sound all done solo. Huge thanks to the publishers who supported me, and to my family. This game is my idea of what a ”game" is. I hope you enjoy it. #IndieGame #IndieDev #SoloDev #GameLover

We've made two of our games mobile via the same GameMaker system project code that runs on other platforms. It's surprisingly straightforward. One of the many reasons we like GameMaker for #gamedev.

We want to feature your game! Fill in the details on this form and help us spread the word. 🔗 forms.gle/KGDUSjapbZjK...

Monday = Funday ('cause we get to design videogames) Hope the rest of you #indiegame people kick butt on your projects this week. 💪

#gamedev friends: remember to change your copyright dates on your websites and materials. 🙏 It's a small detail that demonstrates a lot to people you may work with. #indiegames

Important update about our new game: we have swinging meat. We repeat: the meat is swinging. #gamedev #indiegame

Did a quick audit of the software we use for #gamedev and running our business, and you can see why trying to diversify where your tech comes from is difficult. #indiegames

To fellow #gamedev people: there are lots of events for making contacts and showing your game that are not in the US: MIGS / Gamescom / Taipei Game Show / TGS / Develop / etc. You do *not* need to attend GDC or DICE to survive. Found this resource; share any you have! gameconfguide.com

🎉 HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🥳 Toronto New Year's livestream kicking off 2026 with Love Inc. is 👌!

In 2025 we: 🌹 Put in major work on our new game 🚑 Announced a Nintendo Switch port of Neo Harbor Rescue Squad 🇩🇪 Exhibited at Gamescom in Germany ❄️ Made a splash at MIGS 🛠️ Began major updates on our first 3 games 🙌 Increased our service work substantially 🚛 Moved our studio Happy New Year!

Finished our #gamedev work for the day. Completed a workout. Time to plop on the couch and play some gaaaames! We're continuing to play Death Mark II by @aksysgames.bsky.social. Love the art and the super-dark themes in this #horror series so much.

Currently working on this really big update / refactor to our first game, Home. Uh, it's going great... #gamedev #indiegame

This is the energy we're going into 2026 with. #indiegames #gaming #gamedev

Our two full-time employees, Jill and Claire, hard at work on the weekend. #cats #caturday #gamedev

Bump for our #SteamWinterSale games! All four of our titles are on juicy discounts. Please boost this if you dig mom-and-pop indie games. 🙏

Spent some of our time off finally printing custom spine labels for our #NintendoSwitch games... still have a few more to do, including our game, but this is so much nicer! (We got them from www.reddit.com/r/SwitchSpin... BTW)

🎄 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 🎅 May you give and receive the finest in videogames. 👌

The ❄️ PlayStation Holiday Sale ⛄ is a wonderful way to support #indiegame studios on console. Three of our games are on beefy discount while you hibernate: 😱 Home: go.bancy.co/homePS4 🚀 AWY: go.bancy.co/awyPS4 🚑 NHRS: go.bancy.co/NHRS-PS5 #gamedev #ps5

Ben ended up helping a mother and her son pick out their first gaming PC at Costco yesterday. 😄 May you find glory (and indie games) with your new rig, young man. 🫡

Canadian #indiegames — we like 'em. We think you should get 'em.

Take some time during the holiday break to give the gift of Steam Reviews to game devs! It helps IMMENSELY! Here's a few games I've been enjoying lately (links in thread)-

We've been working on our new #indiegame all year, among other projects. It's been a fascinating journey of rediscovering that tension between what we like to play versus what we like to make. We really pushed ourselves with Neo Harbor, and we want to go further. #gamedev

✋ Important account update! 🤚 This account is now the proper home of our game studio, BancyCo. So you can expect to hear from Ben *and* Nancy here about our games, #indiegame studio life, and, of course, our cats. 💖 #gaming #gamedev

It's the ❄️Steam Winter Sale! ☃️ All of our #indiegames are on hefty discount; they're lovingly hand-crafted by real humans. 👉 go.bancy.co/SteamGames #gaming

One thing I've learned after all these years of #gamedev is: you can study The Market; you can research and strategize all you want; but you can't run from the game that you truly want to make. Sometimes you get lucky and The Market agrees; sometimes not. 🤷‍♂️ That's art, man; I dunno. #indiegame

Suuuuper cool to see the next game co-created by our Japanese #gamedev friends Cherrymochi is coming soon! Look at that character art! 😍 #indiegame #gaming

As a developer who focuses on "weekend" games, this is very nice to see! I'd rather sell you a game you can complete by yourself, or on a stream with friends, in one or two sittings, and feel like you just experienced something special and memorable.

We've had the pleasure of working with several other #indiegame studios this year, providing UI + UX design, level design, branding, and lots more. It's fun; we like doing it! We know what it's like to make indie games, and we can help with yours. 👉 www.bancy.co/services #gamedev

One of my favourite game soundtracks of all time. That ending theme is classic 80s good-time-feels. 👌

It's Monday, my people, and I implore you to make video games. #indiegames #gamedev

Did you know? Our two cats, Jill Meowlentine and Claire Redmeow, were named after the iconic Resident Evil heroines. 😽 Here were their kitten intro images! #cats #caturday #catsofbluesky

Had a good time watching The Game Awards with friends and eatin' some tasty local takeout. The 80s anime-styled Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive Orbitals was a standout reveal — it looks so good!

NBD just refactoring the entire input, display, and menu systems in our 13-year-old indie game. 💀 #gamedev #indiegame

Yoooooo this is awesome! 💜 That infinite mirror bit in the key art is pretty clever, too.

Can Netherrealm extract itself from this quagmire and become an independent studio? I hope so; it deserves better.

Updating 13 years worth of previously-released games is like looking at a younger, dumber version of yourself and endlessly sighing in dad-like disappointment. #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

It's the first day of summer camp, and adventures await you in CAPY's newest game... 💬 Find Your Words! Enjoy the tranquility of Camp Pals, make lifelong friends, and try different types of communication in this short cozy game! The journey begins in 2026, available on PC!

I enjoy shovelling snow, now that I have a property to shovel. ❄️ It's a free 30-40 minute full-body workout, and I like the quiet. (We'll see how I feel if we get crazy snowfall later this season.)
