Sharing again that Jumpscare to Live is just 5 bucks right now on @itch.io for the 2025 Winter sale! We're really proud of the story, the mechanics, and all the animations and would love to see more people enjoy the game! studio-spinner.itch.io/jumpscare-to... #indiegame #horror

If devs are *licensing* their own tech, sure. But a dev saying “if you don’t use bump mapping / IK / Source Engine you’re a Luddite / stuck in the past / etc.” - why would they care? IME if someone uses tech that has self-evident value, people scramble to adopt it.

I had a few words to share about concept art. @edmondtran.bsky.social did an amazing job distilling everyone’s I’m sure copious thoughts into an incredibly coherent article. I think I’ll get students to read this, because it actually speaks quite well to what we actually do. Have a read folks!

Indie devs: There is nothing stopping you from hopping onto SoundCloud (or any music platform), finding a song by a creator you like, and messaging/emailing them to ask if you can pay them to use their music. It's frankly an amazing way to source music that hits for your game!

There is a whole menu of browsers out there. You should be able to choose the one you want.

According to Steam Replay, 40% of all users' playtime was in "Classic Games", released 8 years ago or older. 44% was games released 1-7 years ago. That is without boycotting. Not buying games that use AI is very easy and doable, actually, the average user is already doing it accidentally.

Someone should go stream our game on Twitch so I can watch. Or post their play on YouTube or something. I'll give you a key. www.twitch.tv/directory/ca...

I really wish people would stop using slop to just mean 'thing I don't like' or 'stuff that is part of a trend'. Neither of those are inherently worthy of being called slop. You really gotta earn that title by being low-quality, low effort products of greed and laziness.

hey all, it's Cyber Monday and that means I have [checks notes] the same great deal I offer Patreon supporters all year long!! I've got slots in both headshot tiers right now, great for game tokens or little gifts, and you can get one for each month you're subscribed! ✨ www.patreon.com/sephiramy ✨

To give you an idea of how scummy AI data centers are with negotiations, I'll tell you a bit about the QTS one proposed near Madison, WI.

Completely agree on all points. As someone who also worked in Unity (JtL) and has moved to Godot, the way Scenes operate feels so much more scalable, while also feeling more granular. I love it.

🚨Wisconsin🚨 Large tech companies are targeting our lack of regulations to try and exploit towns all over the state. Now is the time to stand up and say NO. ⬇️

Stop using AI for placeholder assets. Use sketches. Use lorem ipsum. Use bright pink materials. Use programmer art for fucks sake, literally anything else. If your studio is using AI even for temp, even if they think they've covered their tracks, SPEAK UP because people WILL FIND IT

Our game, and 3 games that helped inspire it.

Of course, the likelihood of even 5% of those people reading it, let alone buying Villager, is slim. But I will still post it. Because I'm working my arse off to rebuild everything, & I'm determined to rebuild it in a way that no fucker ever jeopardises my security & my life's work in that way again

Nobody's clamouring for AI games, nobody's mad that games don't feature AI, there's a total and utter lack of demand for it. The only demand is from business heads who think it'll save them money, audiences and creatives are rejecting it.

Alt text your fucking god damn images, people. Fascism feeds on and is built upon eugenics. Cutting disabled people out of information only helps it grow. Stop being both inaccessible AND complict. Add Alt Text.

After 16 days I reached my minimum goal for #20SecondGameJam ! Now to make some more levels, a main menu, perhaps a new environment, and a very first attempt at music

👀 👀 👀 Such fun looking releases this week~

I have great news... YOU CAN. RIGHT NOW. uvw-cwa.org @videogameworkers.bsky.social

20 Second Game Jam saw and reposted our in-progress screenshots! Oh no, now we HAVE to finish it.

Check out @misskatoniktv.bsky.social's playthru of our game Jumpscare to Live! It was a great time, and we loved getting to see it. Find the game on @itch.io! #streamer #indiegame

The way the Dolphin file browser peeks images on file folder icons looks particularly charming when previewing @greisinger.itch.io's adorable artwork they made for our upcoming jam game.

We're making great progress and have had a ton of fun making little things for the #20SecondGameJam. #indiegame #gamejam #screenshotsaturday

Post the last four games you played.

Are you a small or solo dev in need of QA but can't afford it? Please reach out, if it looks interesting, I'll gladly volunteer my time and experience. I have been involved with over a dozen projects that shipped, with many more on the way, and would love to help you too! <3 #GameDev #IndeDev #QA

I'm just having so much fun making video game at the moment

Patreon got back to me! I'm still kind of annoyed, but I'm glad this isn't suddenly going to become a wedge between Adult/18+ Creators and those that aren't. Most of the responses on this post are really excited about it. Am I odd to be kinda uncomfortable about it all? #Patreon

Patreon plans on tacking on a social media site on to the service. Fine, sure, but what they also plan on doing is merging our Support accounts with our Creator accounts! Collab opportunities, sure. But what does that mean for Adult Creators? #Patreon #Adult www.patreon.com/posts/buildi...

Thanks to every who's paid money for our pack of 400 sound effects so far! It's 100% free but we really appreciate every single penny thrown our way, it'll help us to keep making cool free game dev assets :) #gamedev #indiedev chequered.ink/400-sounds-p...

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

My game 'PULCRA' is OUT for this halloween! vikintor.itch.io/pulcragame A nightmarish Slenderlike game set in a body-horror landscape. Explore a haunting, claustrophobic building made of flesh, collect 10 sigils scattered around and escape. Share this and buy me a hamburger pls. #horror #fps

The Godot 2025 showreel is out! We're so grateful for every submission, vote, and support from our community 💙 www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZwE...

www.videogameschronicle.com/news/square-... I imagined trying to get through bug reports written by an LLM and immediately got an honest to god headache. What do you mean I can’t even go back to the person who wrote it and ask for more details because there isn’t one, but it can still make shit up?

In Jumpscare to Live, you save your roommate from more than just a threat outside (pizza that was left out for hours). #screenshotsaturday

Here's an update on my small-voxel renderer, inspired by the look of games like Doom and Quake. The work I shared last year focused on handling simpler environment geometry. Since then, I've greatly expanded the scope of what I can depict in this art style. More info in thread.
