Hey gamers, did you know that game developers share updates about their upcoming games on Saturdays using the hashtag #ScreenshotSaturday‽ Check out the Screenshot Saturday feed for the inside scoop on new indie games!

PLURIBUS was excellent and lowkey powerful. The tone was incredible from start to finish.

Revus pendant ma grippe : LE CHÂTEAU AMBULANT, toujours dans mon top 3 Ghibli même si la fin est toute pétée. PONYO, incroyablement beau, renversant par moment, c’est un tel bonheur ce film. J’avais oublié à quel point le style visuel (les décors notamment) est différent des autres.

We're not there yet in France, but we're definitely on the way, I'm afraid. The optimist in me still thinks it's not too late to change course.

J’ai attrapé pour vous la grosse grippe du moment : c’est très fort, très violent et très long.

Me, and half of my coworkers, have been laid off. I'm now looking for my next position as gameplay or tools programmer (remote, or relocating within Europe). More about me on my website: pauljoannon.com #gamejobs #gamedevjobs

you, a worldly new yorker, a londoner maybe or any other city with underground trains: "the french are so dramatic, chatelet les halles can't be that bad." chatelet les halles, the largest underground station in the world:

'Les 4 Catas', mon adaptation libre du roman 'Les Trois Mousquetaires' d'Alexandre Dumas, arrive à son climax avec la partie 4 qui commence le 26 Décembre ! Si on conserve l'aspect tranche de vie, il y aura un fil rouge jusqu'à la fin. C'est à lire ici ➡️ nocteller.com/book/3289-le...

it's Christmas Eve but it's also the 16 year anniversary of the time an art historian for the Hungarian National Gallery spotted a long lost painting while watching Stuart Little with his 3-year-old daughter, recognizing it in the movie set

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words. But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

I'm reaching the last dungeons — because they are, basically dungeons — of METROID PRIME 4 and I'm still more than happy it finally came out. Hard to talk about it because every thread on Reddit is basically hate, more than the usual amount over there.

I wrote an article about dialogue choice as part of a narrative designer’s toolkit *aside* from branching, instead considering how choice can invite us to *perform* a character. My case study is South of Circle’s beautiful fuzzy meaning-making (using symbols instead of words). 💜 Give it a go!

True story: This game (it's a more casual version of our original Shadowhand game) led to us making Forbidden Solitaire. How? Well @slicknicklives.bsky.social played it and liked it, then contacted us to propose a team-up to make a horror solitaire game! store.steampowered.com/app/3199380/...

Time off appears on the horizon. Ships—ideas, projects, prototypes—sail into the unknown. Will I find time to rest?

Lovely game

Malléole

To go along the release of unbeatable's complete soundtrack (beware of spoilers!) and as an early christmas present to those of you that are interested, here's a (mostly) complete collection of gameplay animation I did for the game: camillecee.weebly.com/unbeatable-s... Enjoy, and SPOILERS!!!!

Not always in tune with Jason's recommendations (Blue Prince ☠️), but this time I must agree: very neat and chill puzzle/exploration game. It reminds me of Animal Well (without the platform aspect). There's a free demo on Steam. Give it a try! Congrats to @infinitestairs.bsky.social 👏

HEADS UP! Both of our award-winning indie games are on sale over the festive period... ❄️ Röki ☀️ Mythwrecked

Kudos to Rian Johnson who is the third director who made me love a religious main character whose narrative arc is about faith (after Tarkovski and Shyamalan).

OH OH OH ! ☃️🎁🎄 C'est le jour de la première partie de l'épisode spécial : 3615 Noël ! Découvrez trois nouveaux personnages dans un univers loufoque... et pourtant bien français. Bienvenue en 1978 ! #giscardpunk #noel #jdr #actualplay #marvel #oneshot youtu.be/guJ9lw7xg7g?...

Je pense que mon film préféré de l’année c’est Melenchon à la commission de l’assemblée là. Je suis super fan, je l’ai déjà vu 2 fois, je veux une version longue.

Some #MetroidPrime4 art this week!

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go.

Le meilleur jeu de France rurale-core que j'aie jamais fait, c'est mignon c'est drôle c'est parfait pour chiller ces vacances entre deux vins chauds 👌

It’s a banger!!!

Having a hothead in your friend group is a guaranteed way to never get bored… right up until you actually have to manage them. 😬  Meet your new scouty-best friend Maria!

Eliza is 50% off. It’s a fully-voiced visual novel about an AI therapy app. It was released in 2019, years before the idea of AI became what it is now. How much did it get right? What did it get wrong? Play it for yourself (play the whole thing) and decide. store.steampowered.com/app/716500/E...

Patlabor: The New Files Episode 13 The Dungeon Again

I think I’m less filled with dread and hate since I decided that any person saying « genAI is here to stay » is not worth of my time. Indifference is soothing.

Just did the best bœuf bourguignon ever.

Next year we'll announce our new game 4 years in the making! While you're waiting, here's a first little preview of what's to come 🤜💥 Get ready for a story-driven action-adventure game in an open-environment, with non-stop drama and goofiness. 🎢 See you in 2026 with @arteinteractive.bsky.social !

My submission is about SILENCE in game writing and especially in dialogues. I cannot wait to read the other texts!!

I contributed to this!! Very glad to finally get a chance to touch on the topic of Economy & Commerce as a Narrative Tool (at least as an introduction). I had the opportunity to read a couple of snippets from other articles as well, and it's going to be real good!! 🎮✒️

Games where you're primarily using another device within that game -- especially if it's a full-on computer / CRT style ala Stories Untold, but also mobile phones like Another Lost Phone. Any recommendations?

Oh and also, DO NOT USE BRAVE - not only because it's a bad browser for a lot of reasons listed in this blog post But also, its CEO donated 1 000 dollars in support of California's Proposition 8 in 2008, which was a proposed amendment to California's state constitution to ban same-sex marriage
