I'm back from California and got a big case of the JET LAG but my game is coming out in... 4 days?! 😬 Oh god I better do some marketing 👀 Here look, @paulalucas.bsky.social made new character art so I updated my Steam capsule. WHAT A BEAUT 🙌 🔗 s.team/a/3749790 #indiegames #indiegaming #indiedev

Rockstar union workers have set up a solidarity fund to help our fight after 30 of them were fired in an attempt to destroy the union. Help us fight back! Anything you can donate will massively help our efforts to hold Rockstar to account. actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

Foolish Mortals is out, "truly a masterpiece in which you feel the love and dedication behind its creation every second you play" Incredible work @inklingwood.bsky.social! adventuregamehotspot.com/review/5467/...

Here's how much 💵 my first indie game made in 30 days... ➡️ youtu.be/K50cFladQrc #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegames | #gamedev

Reversing Tory cuts to corporation tax would be much more palatable than more taxes for working people, but god forbid the City let that happen...

Dance you must the Foolish Waltz! Find treasures trapped in hidden vaults. 👻 Our point & click adventure game FOOLISH MORTALS launches in 24 HOURS. Wishlist us now on #Steam! #AdventureGame #NarrativeGame#IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGame #MonkeyIsland #BrokenSword #cozymystery #cozygame #cozygaming

For adventure gamers who remember The Old Ways: this is a nice critique of early 2000s gamer snark. Gabriel Knight 3 had some really good bits, and adventure games didn't die - big American publishers just stopped selling them. (The cat moustache puzzle was genuinely bad, though.)

GTA 6 developer Rockstar accused of union-busting after it fires dozens of developers www.eurogamer.net/gta-6-develo...

👀 Don't forget - One week for #PitchYaGame // #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

This year, #halloween lasts until November 5th. FOOLISH MORTALS releases in just 5 DAYS. 🎃 A wedding... vanished. A treasure... lost. A heart... broken. 👻 youtu.be/S0rNB5ScVMk?...

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct. Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

there's still some time to play this very good free MMO with other ghosts and decorate pumpkins adamgryu.itch.io/pumpkin-carver

Thrilled to announce you'll be able to play a demo of our point-and-click parody of Les Miserables at the amazing Debug Festival next year! Tickets: gamesfestival.co.uk @debugorg #pointandclick #debugmagazine #adventuregame #indiegame #gameexpo

Today's music: a series of eerie vibes. Let's move past the Halloween cliches - Night on Bald Mountain, Bach's d-minor Toccata & Fugue, Dans Macabre, etc. - and embrace a new paradigm! Let's start with Bartok's Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta.

Agree with @mackeza.bsky.social - Scottish pumpkin events are overpriced and overbooked, but this virtual one also has perfect weather! www.theguardian.com/games/2025/o...

Les Miserables reading is on the best chapter today "Let us come to an understanding about equality... if liberty is the summit, equality is the base... It is all aptitudes possessed of the same opportunity... all votes possessed of the same weight... all consciences possessed of the same right"

Turnip lanterns were still standard down our way (Scotland) in the '80s. Maybe it's nostalgia but I'll always reckon they looked more sinister than pumpkins. Heck of a job to hollow out, though. [Image cribbed from BBC. Image description in quoted post: turnip with weird skull/Grey alien carving]

Starmer has called it "deeply concerning". Meanwhile another 46 children are dead. Throughout the ceasefire Israeli forces have continued to bomb, shoot at and terrorise Palestinian civilians. The UK must end military support and sanction Israel’s military and political leaders.

🐴 ANNOUNCEMENT TRAILER 🐴 Horses of Hoofprint Bay – a lovingly hand-drawn 2D point and click barn buildup game where you take care of horses, train them, and compete for prize money! Breed adorable foals, hire and manage staff, and build the stable of your dreams!

Keep calling!!! Keep sending letters!!! <3

I really like the woolly, clay-like look of this remake of the Day of the Tentacle intro 😃 ➡️ Full intro here: youtube.com/watch?v=2LYP... It was made using Blender. #DayOfTheTentacle #DOTT #ManiacMansion #LucasArts #AdventureGame #PointAndClick #RetroGaming #Blender #Clay

I donated $25 to the Python Software Foundation. Did I do that to post about it social media? Yes. Did I also do it because I think that the Python programming language is awesome, and PSF and PyCon are awesome, and they need more funding? Also yes.

Forever charmed by Monkey Island II's iMUSE implementation, Lucasfilm/Arts' sound engine for smoothly and naturally transitioning from the musical beats and moods of one screen to another. It's something you lose out on in the CD audio based re-releases of this, Dark Forces, and X-Wing/Tie Fighter.

I am pleased to unleash upon the world my latest attempt to persuade people that the French Revolution was a very complex set of events that happened to a very complex society in ways it's best to try to understand as such.

After an amazing voice session for our innkeeper, we decided to add a proper singing pose for her... #adventuregame #pointandclick #indiegame #artdev #lessmiserables

Checking in on this year's homemade mincemeat for Christmas puddings and Mince Pies! All plumping up nicely, and makes the kitchen smell Christmasy already

Wow, turning off this one crappy AI setting made Google Drive an order of magnitude faster

Annoyingly, I can't remember why I woke up laughing from my dream last night... Something about tofu??

I reviewed The Seance of Blake Manor by @spookydoorway.bsky.social and absolutely adored it. Interesting procedural detective work, folk horror, Irish mythology, colonial subtexts and jump scares!! 👻 www.theguardian.com/games/2025/o...

We went to @tagsfest.co.uk in Edinburgh today for amazing comic, art and game goodness! Still on for a few more hours!

Such a good trailer, game looks amazing!

We’re thrilled to finally reveal Debug Games Festival 2026! It’s happening 25–26 April in Norwich. Two full days celebrating retro, indie, experimental, and everything in between. We’re working closely with @spriters-resource.com and @didyouknowgaming.com plus various other friends of ours 👀

"Explain her, unnecessarily" 🤣

Snuck off work this afternoon to watch Princess Mononokoe in the cinema... Worth it

I wish news outlets would stop parroting this bullshit. It's not because of the cost of chocolate, it's how they've increased their operating profits 11% this year. Their own financial press releases tell a different story www.thegrocer.co.uk/news/pladis-... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
