Roadwarden has been at the top of my list for this club for some time. It's a game that didn't get enough love when it came out. The game makes every decision vital for survival as you patrol the road, talk to NPCs, and solve the mystery of what happened to your predecessor.

The Games Industry Gathering for May has now begun! Join our digital networking event anytime over the next 12 hours to mingle and connect with your fellow friends and colleagues!

Friends - I managed to articulate in a short video exactly what @thegameclub.bsky.social is and why I genuinely believe it's going to help alot of people. I would be eternally grateful if you could share it to your network and communities. www.youtube.com/watch?v=b863...

We have over 20 Meetups of the Game Club taking place all over the world (and online) this week, discussing this months game Anodyne 2 and getting to know each other better. Have fun!!

Honestly any of them are probably preferable to how I feel about our current one...

We have a discord for @thegameclub.bsky.social, and we're playing around with channels that encourage folks to regularly share more about themselves. So far, so good, but wondering if any of my discord using friends have any other channels they've seen that are good and fun for engagement.

The MidPoint Save Podcast is now available, featuring the developers of this months game Anodyne 2: Return to Dust. Tune in as @robmanuel.bsky.social has a chat with @hantani.bsky.social and @even-kei.bsky.social about the game! rss.com/podcasts/mid...

Edit: You can't say GTA6

Looking to connect with media agencies that represent creators - hmu and send me your decks with standard CPM's, case studies, engagement, etc. I have a dev looking to spend $$ later this year.

Mark it. Two weeks into 2026 and I already know about more games industry layoff waves than in all of 2021, impacting about five times as many people that we know of. We're still so far from 'normal' We need to talk about this openly. Don't struggle alone. 💞

It's been wonderful meeting more NYC local folks!

It's the @yug.bsky.social hosting hours and it's a great mix of folks in #theGIG tonight, come join us!
