In Tank Goblins, you can play as a goblin, scream at your friends in proximity voice chat, run over gnomes, and even shoot a gun.

We're excited to tease our next game, TANK GOBLINS! You and your friends are a crew of Goblins, driving a tank. You fight in the Undead Gnome war. The focus is on slapstick co-op vehicle combat. It's shaping up to be something pretty special! #TeaseYaGame youtu.be/NnqWmyDtqWY?...

If you sit in your car on the shoulder going into Seatac instead of going to the fucking cell phone lot you should lose your license forever

make local coop to play with wife

The amount of times I sit in a call with a dreamer and their dream game is basically "everything from my favorite six games smashed together into perfect harmony and there was endless flawless content and it has graphics everyone likes" and I have to explain that making feet go on stairs is hard

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous. Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

getting tech recruiting emails is a uniquely horrific psychic experience wanna build completely unregulated digital casinos? plagiarism machines that give children asthma / detailed suicide instructions? the panopticon?? double enron??? a new kind of cancer that only kills orphans?????

by the bane of my blade, a mighty spell is made and far beyond the battle blood shall fall like a hard rain

We gotta go back.

blog post about how using ai shit makes you a scab

Can’t say I didn’t touch grass today🌿 #GameDev #IndieGameDev #Unity

My 2025 talk 'Gyms, Zoos, and Museums: Your documentation should be in-game' is now also available in text format, for those who like to read instead of watch: rystorm.com/blog/gyms-zo... And if you haven't seen it yet, there is an all new video too, with bonus material on the history of Zoos!

No idea about the game, gonna check it out this weekend but this has to be the cutest most supportive endorsement of a game ever. Having someone who supports me 100%, i don’t know how people do it alone. store.steampowered.com/app/3875890/...

people have been asking what Building Relationships is about, so i made this gameplay trailer to help explain things hope this helps!

I should make bread

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

Gave this one a shot and it's really fun! A very polished and tight experience that I really enjoyed! Check it out if like those underwater horror vibes!

Episode 3 of Mike and Rami Are Still Here is live. We tried to recap 2025, but failed miserably. Here's Mike and Rami talking about all sorts of things that aren't 2025. mikeandrami.com

Spending a few days outside seattle for new years, and it's snowing :)

you know, these days, many people time of year. but this season, try when to everything a special time — it just might become which with you

🐋 #TeaseYaGame 🐳 CRUSH DEPTH is a retro-inspired horror game set at the bottom of the ocean

I'm also very relatable, hire me!

I feel such incredible gratitude for everyone who's decided to check out Earth Giant's debut effort, Crush Depth. We're a team of 5 people that spent seven months building it out. I'm blown away by the positive reception so far, and feeling encouraged :) store.steampowered.com/app/3938760/...

The narrative you'll uncover in crush depth is like shape of water but gay

Alright! Let's actually talk about this waterfall thing. It is an amazing showcase of many things that I adore from late 90s/early 2000s graphics. I am replicating this in Blender through mere observation, so some things might not be fully accurate to the mind-boggling effects of the PS1.

We don't talk enough about how Pacific Drive graciously gave us this absolute banger. youtu.be/WScjtY0Wk2o?...

The first commercial game released with levels made with Scythe before Scythe is even out. The speed of making levels with Scythe!

We set out to make a quick horror-puzzler since funding is rare these days. What we ended up making is so much more than I could have hoped. Super proud of what 5 people working mostly part-time could accomplish, and I have so much gratitude to this tiny team, and all the people that helped!

The brief indie horror game I worked on this year is out! CRUSH DEPTH www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCpU... #indiegame #gamedev

Version 1.13.0 of Pacific Drive is live now across all platforms! This update contains bug fixes, balance changes, and optimization for performance on Xbox and PlayStation consoles. Check out all the details here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/145...

yeah this is fucked up? If the people who did the shit the award is for don't work there anymore why would you give the award to their old boss. bunch o' shit

"surely there's a more nuanced take" isn't totally unreasonable excepting when you use your next breath to say "-because actually I think the AI voice thing everyone hates is good, actually" and then follow it up with some AI bro bullshit about how AI voice is actually very human and will connect us

Thinking about adding an achievement to crush depth that's just a link to this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=8n2c...

KIRO 7 ran an article and two TV pieces on the theft of a box truck full of arcade PCBs, artwork, and machines from my workplace yesterday. If anyone in the Seattle area sees someone offloading a ton of CPS2/NAOMI/Neo Geo PCBs, stuff of that nature, please reach out. www.kiro7.com/news/local/g...

a random $2 steam game called The Puppy actually managed to scare the shit out of me

🥳New 30-min video out! I dive into different ways to rasterize dynamic effects (explosions, attacks, etc.) using Niagara, and show how to apply them to foliage & particles. Check it out!⬇️

Been using scythe on our indie horror game, crush depth. It is so good! Can not recommend it highly enough

My level editor for Unreal Engine called Scythe just got a new major update! Here's what's in it: 🧵 (1/)

A new sect may have been formed to capture the "whispers" in the woods for @ironwood.bsky.social's Pacific Drive expansion👁️‍🗨️ Thanks to the vancouver indie camp members, and uh sorry to the campers across the lake. ⛺ *Use headphones for a binaural experience

Hello #PitchYaGame Excited to share a game I'm working on -- CRUSH DEPTH. It's an atmospheric, retro-inspired horror game where you explore a wrecked station at the bottom of the ocean. According to at least one play tester it's, "pants-poopingly scary" store.steampowered.com/app/3938760/...

In case you'd like to do it yourself, here's the node setup for object-stable screenspace UVs I'm using The original is by @jankaluza.bsky.social, and I've changed it to add a fixed radius and set it up as a Material Function on my end Should work in any version of Unreal 4/5
