Last Friday, the newest Indiepocalypse came out, closing out 6 years of Indiepocalypse!

Boston Game Dev will be hosting a Global Game Jam site again this year! We'll be at the Nonprofit Center downtown all weekend, 1/30 - 2/1. Come make a game with us! More info + registration here: www.eventbrite.com/e/boston-gam... Huge thank you to our sponsor @unity.com for making this possible!

Boston Game Dev presents: A year in review! See what our local community has done this year. #gamedev #Steam #itchio www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0fQ...

Hello everyone! We will be hosting Lightning Talks on January 26th, 2026 5:30 – 8:30pm at the Cambridge Public Library Main Branch! www.meetup.com/bostongamede... If you’re interested in giving a 5-10 minute talk on a topic related to #gamedev, fill out the form below! forms.gle/yDLctFXzGGua...

I was inspired/prompted to write a taste manifesto of my own, so here it is: www.activeupgames.com/news-and-art...

We're not hosting this year, but we know someone who is! #ggj, #globalgamejam, #indiedev, #gamedev, #massachusetts,

I made a dvd logo screensaver simulator! It's almost the same, except it can't hit corners, and there's a built-in dead pixel. Because fuck you. markaldrichisme.itch.io/evil-dvd-logo #gamedev #indiedev #nostalgia #memegame #horror #gaming

we were using spritesheets for our little settlers, but for various reasons we wanted to see if using the rigged mesh we used to generate the sheets would be too much of a perf hit. It's not, which means we can do more with them in-game. Yay. #indiedev #indiegame

The Moon wants to go home. 🌕 "The Moon Looks Beautiful Tonight: Definitive Edition", a PC98 inspired yuri VN, will be releasing for free Q1 2026.

Thank you to everyone who came to our holiday party last night and to our awesome sponsors and volunteers for making it happen! Wishing everyone a great holiday season and we'll see you in the new year with a full slate of new events! ❄️
