Like I took these the other day, touched them up myself just throwing around the curves and saturation and stuff in GIMP But I feel like if anybody outside people who follow me engaged with this the only thing that would get them to comment would be if I didn't put alt text on em

Everythins just got me feeling fuckin miserable, like what's the point? And I think like, something I can do is just make and create, even if it's just for me

Just feel like makin something, like in any format, even if I'm not good at it, like drawing somethin or whatever Just like pencil and paper, try and remember how I used to shade stuff when I was 8

Today’s board reminds us of a certain 1979 classic…

Sitting in Denmark, another place that has something Trump wants (Greenland) and wondering at what point the bombs will drop on Copenhagen and Mette will be kidnapped by the warmonger in chief

Silly Microsoft man We don't call it slop because it's low tech We call it slop because it's shit insider-gaming.com/microsoft-ce...

HEY YOU Playing DWG ev'ry day Without leaving us a wee positive review Can you, like, get on with it Here's an example to help ya along: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I used to like this other word game, but now I think it's naff cuz this one's way better" @bearwaves.com #indiegames #videogames #indiedev #gamedev

Pet peeve of mine with games is when they don't let you quit to desktop. I've never once in my life wanted to quit a game to the main menu, who would ever want that when they're trying to end a session?

As a frequent traveller, my biggest tip is to always leave some treats for yourself when you get home Freeze a few slices of pizza from that place you like, stock up on your favourite biscuits, and most importantly, clean your house

DONE really enjoying this game. been a while since I've played a good new word game

Covers of that one song by The Police except they change the lyrics around because they are too self-conscious to roleplay as a stalker and thus ruin the entire irony of the song

Fun #DWG board today. I struggled to use my one-long-diagonal-word strategy so had to use a smattering of smaller diagonals to stop the board refilling too early. #DWG8

"You got the six-letter word HOUSES? Nice, have six points. You got the six-letter word ZYGOTE? Nice, have six points. Oh, you sweated over it? Nice, have six points. You think you deserve more? Nice, have six points." I wrote about my current daily crush, DAVE'S WORD GAME: www.electrondance.co...

I made @okw.bsky.social cry when I made this track... What upcoming game mode do you think it will be used for? #gamedev #OST #soundtrack #indiegame

This Steam sale, @bearwaves.com are giving away our first game, Feud, for FREE! The reason for this is because it is, and had always been, free #indiedev #freegames #videogames #indiegame

Will never understand the whole deal where Americans will have like a regular order with every single fast food chain

I don't particularly care about the fate of what will presumably be the most Islamophobic game since Call of Duty whitewashed America's crimes in the middle east, but we really gotta fix workers' rights in game dev Don't settle for abuse of your time and enthusiasm: unionise.

this game went from "meh I've seen this kinda thing before" to "oh this is actually really fun isn't it" very quickly I got 100 on my first game ever.. try to beat me!!!

@electrondance.com nice work breaking 200 today!

We'll get them next time

Players will consciously skip the tutorial you spent months working and reworking then leave feedback saying "I couldn't figure out how to play the game, devs please fix!!!"

Disappointing that user SIXSEVEN has not committed to the bit by always scoring 67 #DWG

Imagine burning all the goodwill your team worked so hard to build, all because your CEO feels the need to "push hard for GenAI", despite the fact it "hasn't led to big gains in efficiency" and that it "has led to some pushback" among your staff Just embarrassing.

I originally pitched the title "Dave's Word Game Best Word Game Fun Relaxing Puzzle Brain Training With Friends 2025" But the guys turned it down for being "obvious SEO bait", "bad for our brand" and "makes me want to vomit" Too late to change it now Playdwg.com #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

For a year we worked to turn Dave’s Scrabble ruleset into an app. Today, over 1,800 games, you turned our app into Dave’s Word Game. Thank you 🙏 See you tomorrow 🥊

nice

Garlic bread Compound butter, gently melted with puréed garlic, herbs, seasoning, then in the freezer until solid enough to scoop Baguette, sliced, but not all the way, so you can spoon the butter in 4 samples go in the oven, the rest wrapped & frozen Disaster, there are now 3 sample slices

Oh? You liked that thing that you liked? Sorry to inform you that you're wrong on that, and in fact these other things you didn't enjoy as much are better

Dave's Word Game comes out tomorrow! This is very exciting for lots of reasons, but for me particularly it's exciting as the first game written in Growl, my game engine. Here's a writeup of what it was like building an engine from scratch and what I learned. www.joelotter.com/posts/2025/1...

If devs/publishers genuinely believed AI was 'the future of game design', they wouldn't cry so hard about having to disclose use of it on their steam pages.

"Why are you always behind on your tasks?" If I come from behind, they won't see me coming. Stealth is the best approach

HE IS GIDDY Dave is so excited to see you post a score on the leaderboard this Monday (and so is everybody else at @bearwaves.com ) Presave here: playdwg.com #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #boredatwork

So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.

The Art of Reflection is such a cool vibe. I love that it's just abstract, reminds me somewhat of Manifold Garden in that way, which I also loved Well done @hydrozoagames.bsky.social !
