A reminder: this is an Irishman with valid papers speaking about how he's being held in US concentration camps. If you don't have to go to the US, do not go to the US. "GDC" is not "have to go". One denial at the border is going to mark you for life, and that's the best of the bad outcomes.

More games should have a cowardly baby mode. More games should let me suffer less consequences for dying or mistakes. Should have a "I just want the story" mode. Games should not pride themselves on "look how difficult we are". I'm bad at video games and I wanna experience the good stories too :c

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

A word2word update on itch with a feature to expand and collapse the play area, not final yet. It was for mobile small/squashed screens, but works well on desktop too. If you like word games, give the demo/play-test a go and leave a comment. #screenshotsaturday #godot #indiegame #wordle #wordgame

The reality of marketing your first game as an unknown indie developer. #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiegame #gamemarketing #solodev #indiedev #gamedeveloper

I'm quite pleased with the new view auto resizing to the bigger play area and using progress bars rather than the word list (though still available) and here in multiplayer it shows your opponent's progress against yours. Demo available #screenshotsaturday #wordle #wordgame #indiegame #anagram

Big progress today as I ported procedural animations to my enemy AI! Starting to feel like a game and not a tech demo youtu.be/x1Q_Eavu1Y4 #gamedev #IndieGame #IndieDev #PixelArt

British comedian-packed space comedy Earth Must Die releases really soon and there's now a demo www.eurogamer.net/british-come...

ICYMI, Earth Must Die has a release date. Please wishlist and share ❤️

To highlight the recent DEMO release on itch.io for word2word and its initial basic local-multiplayer pvp and co-op options, here's a shot of the mp hi-score table screen 😀 Have a go, solo or mp, and let me know how it plays. #screenshotsaturday #anagram #wordgame #godotengine #godot #solodev

Added particles, sounds, and dynamic player facial/voice reactions to the manual veggie harvesting mechanic. Here's some VR footage! 🐧🥕 #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

stop saying “this looks like it was made by AI” or “was this written by chatgpt?!” when you don’t like something. devaluing human effort like that sucks. I don’t care if it’s bad cgi or a formulaic script. if it’s made by a human you show it some fucking respect and just say it’s dogshit.

A bit of stuff that doesn't fit in a bullet list: This has been a rough year. The indie life takes an emotional, physical and financial toll. At times it's been hard to keep my chin up. I am very grateful for y'all here. Your support has meant a lot. 🙏

It’s #WishListWednesday if you are an #indiedev show me your #indiegame right now!!! 👁️👁️

Lots of changes in word2word under the hood, like multiplayer, not so many on screen but does include hints and better controls, plus OpenDyslexic font option. Also finally have an itch.io page up with an early demo :) #anagram #wordgame #accessible #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #godotengine

🧐 As I said, so I did! You can now organize sounds into sets (with user notes!) using SLAMY. Along with multiple shortcuts added and improved (and some bugs fixed), this turns into a pretty nice update! Now, one more feature to look into... #audio #gamedev #foss

Trying to finish this before GTA VI, just for the bants

more games need demos, i am infinitely more likely to buy your game if i try and like it than i am when i wait for it to go under 20$ because i dont know if i will enjoy it

Why spend $1,000,000 on a Game Awards Trailer when you can spend $10 on $20,000 of royalty free commercial use video game music. All proceeds go directly to funding us making more games: moonanagames.itch.io/80-songs-pack #gamedev 🎮 #ttrpg #vtuber

Posted by Martin Griffiths: "It was a genuinely lovely surprise to see #NoMansSky win Best Ongoing Game at #TheGameAwards    last night! It’s been just over ten years since I first started working on NMS, but 2025 has felt particularly special — from Worlds Part II, to the Switch 2 launch, [1/2]

Oh, and if a AAA studio announces how amazing their games are since they laid off half their workforce to replace them with gen"ai", stop buying their fucking games QA is a skill that needs people Art & writing require human artists Coding needs humans, not algorithms Gamedev is a human art form

#Gamedev friend asked me for some advice for a student about engine coding. Wrote out the advice. Realised its basically a blog post so cleaned it up and wrote this. #godot #engine #advice claire-blackshaw.com/blog/2025/10...

One of the happiest moments on social media is when Sean Murray is up to something. Always a joy.

Extra Fringe show tonight! Tickets available from the link in my bio

Just a quick shot of the hi-score table starting to come together. Lots to do yet as usual, but it's working across game type and difficulty, per dictionary and should be per player too soon. #anagram #wordgame #puzzle #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #screenshotsaturday #godotengine #godot

Mainly code changes lately, but there is this gaudy end of level screen which doesn't really fit with the rest of the game aesthetic (but it's fun and I like it). Hi-score table is coming along too. #anagram #wordgame #cozygame #accessible #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #godotengine #godot

Working on an anagram game to learn Godot, with lots of game modes and options for accessibility. Basic mechanics are in place, but need to juice it up more and tweak gameplay and scoring. #anagram #wordgame #cozygame #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #screenshotsaturday #godotengine #godot
