Here's a very neat video from Matt Lucas about all the very neat things that @zachisagardner.bsky.social's Garbanzo Quest did!

Congrats to our friends at the Lake George Game Expo on their first-ever event this past weekend!

A little morning music from the folks making Duck and the Land of Flightless Birds.

Who wants to go to Buffalo this weekend? #ROCGameFest alum 100 Rogues will be playable at Play Test Game Fest 5 on Saturday, December 6th!

New trailer for #ROCGameFest alum Australia Did It, which is coming soon from @aesthetic.games!

Can’t believe I almost missed this, but Deathstate is a huge part of #ROC game dev history! Not only is it a great roguelike… not only did it do single-stick shooting years before Vampire Survivors… but it was also part of the inspiration for #ROCGameFest!

Did you try Darkrise at #ROCGameFest? The developers recently uploaded a new version of the demo to Itch!

Our friends at Anomaly Film Fest have posted their 2025 lineup and it looks like a doozy! They all look interesting, but 👀 It Ends 👀 really has my attention.

Always happy to see new game conventions pop up! Check out the Lake George Game Expo later this year and see #ROCGameFest alum @troystorygames.bsky.social. You’ll get another chance to play their excellent in-development platformer Messenger Mouse!

Tabulating the results from #RocGameFest 2025, here were the most popular player classes (measured by number of ribbons taken) 1. The Skellyman Scoundrel! 2. The Dinoman Bruiser 3. The Fairy Wizard 4. The Human Crusader

We had so much fun at @rocgamefest.bsky.social! Thanks to those of you who stopped by and played our game! 🎳 Can you find our pin in the crowd?

Thanks to everyone who came by to break our game at @rocgamefest.bsky.social!

Had an amazing time getting to meet old and new fans at the expo yesterday! Got a ton of great feedback and a clear heading on how to make the biggest, best improvements to our UX. Counting down the months to release!

Thank you to everyone that helped make another #ROCGameFest turn out so great! I’ve already got ideas swimming around my head for next year, so stay tuned for that! And be sure to follow our great exhibitors at www.rocgamefest.com/rgf2025/exhi...
