Aujourd'hui, on aimerait vous faire part d'une initiative appelée Palestinian Voices in Games, un réseau international de bénévole qui mettent un coup de projecteur sur le peuple palestinien dans la sphère du jeu vidéo indé. palestinian-voices-in-games.com

Been working for Hibernian Workshop lately and this is a piece I made for their new upcoming game Fallen Fates which is now live on Kickstarter! I'm doing pretty much all of the VFX stuff for this game so go check it out :D www.kickstarter.com/projects/hib...

An awesome indie french team 😍 (previously culprits of the raaaad Astral Ascent)

Reading @spiderwebsoftware.bsky.social ever delightful newsletter and I FEEL SEEN

Generation gap means I miss most popular new game franchises : peak, repo, abiotic factor, lethal company, among us. I catchup with BI platforms, newsletters, being in the game industry 24/24, but as a player : every targeted digital marketing misses me. Makes me feel I’m not invited to the party🥲

2026 is around the corner and yep : Game industry economics are still bleak for western countries and junior staff. But a few new actors are trying to shake things up on the financing & distribution side :🧵

Someone asked how to support my work (which I certainly would appreciate!) You can support it directly via a donation or tip at the link below, or you can take a class from me, or hire me as a consultant: www.elizabethspiers.com#/portal/supp...

Talking with @gamerant.bsky.social about risks and why I think it's important to also be prototyping games you've never made before. I genuinely didn't expect to get something as new & weird as Australia Did It funded, but I think that's the point of it. gamerant.com/australia-di...

One of my favorite things during mandatory socializing among gamedevs is that you never run out of discussion topics. A simple "So....what are you playing right now ?" is almost guaranteed to propel you to the late hours in a blink, nerding with a stranger suddenly turned kinsman 🥰

I’ve been on 🦋 for a while now and it made my social network pleasant again. Anti-toxicity tools work, and there’s a reasonably strong gamedev, scientific and journalist core. For now, it feels like a rare corner of Internet that is not actively trying to wring its users, and harm them if need be.

Random Gamescom very personal thoughts 🧵 1/ Industry still sluggish. Deals trickle in only for cheap & innovative indies. The “shorter/cheaper games” trend spreads fast, leaving AA productions stranded in a financing desert. The middle ground is collapsing.

Watched « the Brutalist » and here’s my opinion : now that everyone has access to porn streaming, why are there so many useless sex scenes in mainstream movies, other then men directors wanting to hump their lead actress by proxy ?

On va faire un petit jeu qui s'appelle: le journalisme. Donc après vérification des chiffres, figurez-vous qu'en 2024, la semaine où sont versées les allocation de rentrée constitue en réalité la 45ème semaine de l'année où les "consoles de jeux" se vendent le mieux en France. Ou la 7ème pire.

I peaked for the first time after 5 frustrating failures ! I carried my son through Mesa and he carried me through the Kiln. Great feeling 🔥

Plagiarism always existed, especially in mobile industry where I come from. BUT AI & Engines such as Roblox enable plagiarism at scale, and it hits particularly hard given indie market in 2025. Why ?

🇵🇸 La section STJV d’Arkane Studios rejoint @bdsmovement.bsky.social et No Azure for Apartheid et demande à ce que Microsoft mette un terme à ses contrats facilitant aux forces d’occupation israélienne la mise en place de leur politique génocidaire. www.stjv.fr/2025/08/...

I’m seing more and more indiedev post Steam capsules on Reddit and saying « their artist did it », sometimes even providing blatantly fake sketches to prove it was human made. Considering the backlash, I guess they’re testing the waters to see what they can get away with. Sad and disingenuous.

Steam needs to drop this refund feature for games below a certain price bracket / length. Devs should have the ability to tag their games as “short” so buyers know that what they’ll get won’t waste their life but hopefully deliver quality instead. Please help, @steampowered.com. 🙏

Been making rough computations about Kojima Productions and I hope their CFO stashed a bit of money from DS1 (≈20M ltf sales) because DS2 sales and overall buzz don’t look too hot (≈1.3M). 200 employees at wikipedia last count ≈$15-20M burn rate

I'll be at Gamescom 20-21-22, any non-french mutual wants to grab a coffee ? ☕

Clicking on a viral video while doing something else and suddenly hearing my daughter’s voice is a weird feeling 😱

I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign But we can EASILY top 1,000! I prewrote an email + got the contact info - you just have to send! ↻💬♡ to boost We CAN make a difference 💕 #itch #censorship 1/🧵

Hello. About a year and a half ago, some guy called Ralph asked me if I wanted to make a new videogame website. We're launching it today. Maybe you can even visit it if people stop hammering the server for a second.

creative industries as a whole have a class problem. you generally have to: ✨afford to be able to work for free to get initial experience ✨not have caring/financial responsibilities that might prevent you from opportunities ✨generally have some support system for insecurity/redundancy risks

Last summer I said to journalists that 10% of game industry jobs would be destroyed every year, for at least 2 years. Super Joost estimated the hiring overshoot from covid to 19% so it's not far off that mark.

"Est ce que vous condamnez les violences ???? 🤡🤡" Merci @sandrousseau.bsky.social de les remettre à leur place ✊

We worked on that at @weirdloop.bsky.social ! 🤘

Godot adoption rate is rapidly growing, both in number of released games and used in game jams. On Steam it's also noticeable Unity share is decreasing while Unreal and Godot both growing. I think in 5-7 years Unity might be closer to 50%. www.youtube.com/watc...

My daughter chose for her high-school diploma final oral exam « Can Minecraft be compared to an international organization promoting peace? » 🤘⛏️

I've been wanting to do this for years. I find symmetrical creature tokens misrepresent board state and fullsize ones quickly take lots of space. Mini-MtG cards are the perfect compromise 🥰

⚔️ CROWN GAMBIT is OUT NOW ON STEAM ⚔️ Lead three paladins through a crumbling capital in this narrative tactical adventure! We built this game with love, now it’s your turn to shape its fate. Spread the word if you can ❤️‍🔥

Today I had a great e-coffee with a canadian gamedev. We’d been following each other for a while and just decided to spend an hour to chill and nerd about our favorite games, how does it feel to be indie in 🇨🇦 vs 🇫🇷, what’s our take on state of industry, we bitched against Unity. It was awesome 😍

Hi everyone! We’re Humble Reeds and this is our new game 💖🐐 Experience a peaceful pastoral life in this cozy narrative sim, where you care for goats & help villagers in the mountain 🗻 Wishlist now on Steam! s.team/a/3589430 #IndieGame #CozyGames #Gamedev #IndieGameDev #GodotEngine

This is how. Greta Thunberg spits fire and gives you the only media training you may ever need.

Pretty cool and rarely seen stats in the article. • 1.4% signing rate with 22 games funded = 1571 pitches in one year, that's an average of 7 pitches per working day • 0.16% signing rates for a publisher would mean 10 times more pitches received, eg 63 pitches per day !! What does it mean ?

I’m having such a blast playing Tactical Breach Wizards ! In addition to laser-focused gameplay, a well thought-out UI and original worldbuilding, there are several elegant narrative tricks such as making you piece the story with in-game Miro. Witty dialogs and killer soundtrack too ? 🧙‍♂️ YES 🫡

The river is a god & they killed her. It’s time for ordinary people to hold them to account. Excited to share the first trailer for our new game about dead gods & taking billionaires to court — All Will Rise 🌏⚖️✨ www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXQa...

This is crazy ! I can’t imagine being a russian studio owner and not wanting to move their business out of government reach asap 😱

OUI. Je suis au procès Ubi, et au-dessus la violence immonde que vous connaissez du harcèlement sexuel, il y a celle de voir des n°2 mondiaux qui gagnent un demi-million par an bégayer qu'ils ne savent pas ce qu'est une mise à pied et que c'était à leur assistante de gérer.
