Today, once again, I saw an indie studio owner defend GenAI as inevitable. I want to say once again: no, it's not. It's only as inevitable as you want it to be (especially as an owner) Do smaller, be smarter, don't use this shit.

Posting this here for reasons 😒 If you happen to see any Finji ads that look distinctly UN-Finji-like, send me a screencap. If you are someone who writes intelligently about something like "massive company running ai versions of paid ads without small company's consent" idk, maybe reach out.

The people behind the excellent indie gems Judero and Mashina are crowdfunding their next game, ABIDE! They've so far been making games that breathe life into clay and kitbashed models in a way that constantly leaves me in awe. I can't wait to see what they do in a horror game. Consider supporting!

Another incredible, brilliant, and sick trailer coming from Talha & Jack Co. I mean c'mooooon!

I did this first thing this morning and it was so easy. All went straight to voicemail, which i left. One of my reps, Slotkin, had a full DC vm. After I was done with the others, I went to her website and found her detroit office number and left a message there. If you get a full vm, check around

This bit in Judero was class. You want more stuff like that in games? Confident creative choices? Then please consider our next KickStarter. www.kickstarter.com/projects/637...

Happy #PortfolioDay- I'm Amelia, and we could work together! It's hard to pick a favorite design area so here's a spread ameliaherman.artstation.com

I made a puzzle game for @finjico.bsky.social's CorgiJam! Dig holes and fill them in again Move trees around Bonk into walls All this and more in The Shovelling Hour itch: sparsegamedev.itch.io/the-shovelli... BBS: www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=154... #CorgiJam #gamedev #pico8 #puzzlegame

excessive but very fun part of the corgispace trailer was working with @hangedman.bsky.social to create this physical CORGISPACE cartridge and box (which was rigged with fishing line pulls for various uh effects shots) i think it turned out unironically beautiful ??

This is THE most indulgent and fun trailer I've gotten to work on. Big ups to @adamatomic.bsky.social for letting us go a lil wild on it.

I made a tiny game for PicoSteveMo with @dicey.bsky.social ! ➡️ It's called King Stephen ➡️ You play as King Stephen (King of England 1135-1154) ➡️ It's a Reigns-like decision-making game ➡️ I did the writing + portraits ➡️ Made for a Stephen King game jam ➡️ It's very silly dicey.itch.io/king-stephen

"This is a little bit of proof, that you shouldn't be afraid to dig deep into your own lived experiences and culture for video games." –– Remy Siu, #1000xRESIST creative director. In this exclusive Peabody Conversation, Siu and actress Nhi Do reflect on what winning a Peabody means for #gaming.

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

I might not be the intended audience, but I'm going to go watch this show. Bravery deserves support. I'll reiterate: IT DESERVES SUPPORT, @netflix.com. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Tomorrow! 🏳️‍⚧️ Finji will be at the TransFuse Night Market in Grand Rapids, MI! If you're local, you should come say hi & play the Usual June demo! ⭐

I actually want more of this. I want ai companies to land all sorts of highly visible contracts with low stakes that they publicly flub. I want everyone to understand this shit doesn't work before it's integrated into something life threatening, like, say, hospital scheduling.

[spends less than the price of a movie ticket on a video game] this better entertain me for the rest of my life or i will be so mad

A new game from WIlmot Works it Out Programmer @taloketo.bsky.social is out now! 🤖 It's time to dig [in]!

We need to start pushing back—legally If they’re masked, unmarked, and flashing Amazon gear, report it for what it is: an attempted kidnapping by law enforcement impersonators. 🎥 Record. 📍 Share location. 📞 Call the police. “ICE vest” is not an ID.

the video version of our Peabody speech for 1000xRESIST.

if Thunberg is brave enough to repeatedly put herself directly in harm’s way, then journalists can be brave enough to say that a civilian vessel was illegally seized in international waters, and its crew abducted

We're doing a giveaway to celebrate Wilmot Works it Out being out on Switch: win a key to the game by submitting your best made-up deep lore about Wilmot here: www.reddit.com/r/CozyGamers...

Hey world, remember when you thought this was awesome? (Which, by the way, it was). Yeah well she's been suspended for a week now because of it; it's coloniser rules and forms of expression allowed only, indigenous people must only be angry in white ways. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Hey! I really felt the weight of everything last week, and I wanted a way to talk through it... so I've been working on (maybe the first???) choose your own adventure game set up directly *in* Bluesky. And here it is! Would you like to visit the Garden of Fortune with me? Enter the garden.

happy #InternationalWorkersDay

good morning IMPORTANT PSA 🪩📻 it’s groove time youtu.be/mDD9CPmye4s?...

Things I didn't know til I started calling my reps daily: * It's easy to find scripts online at places like 5calls.org Just pick 1 topic each day. * You almost get sent to voicemail, so it's really not scary. * Offices do tabulate the # of people that call & why so it does matter in aggregate!

There is a terf douch bag in my neighborhood who I have been in a graffiti war with. Today might be my best work. I present to you, a neighborhood flyer.

I wrote an article for Patta Magazine about Black representation in games. www.patta.nl/blogs/news/s...

TRANS RIGHTS 🏳️‍⚧️

I had such a lovely time playing this game and this trailer captures it beautifully!

Better a pig than a gen A.I. user!

The reason I'm being weird about this is indika SHOULD be a "game industry" celebrated video game. It makes me as a game dev think about what the future of games could be. It's a marvel of scope/scale, interaction, and narrative between characters, but also dialog between the game and the player.

A woman at the airport yesterday approached me and asked if I was on the way to the Art Teacher Convention. Someone tell me how to feel about this

Today, we are announcing the formation of United Videogame Workers-CWA, an industry-wide union formed by @codecwa.bsky.social and @cwaunion.bsky.social 💪🎮 We're launching at #GDC2025 this morning to build a video game industry that works for us. We're done playing.

It’s that time of year where we should take a few moments pause to remember the greatest GDC badge job title that will ever be.

TUNIC is part of the California Fire Relief Bundle on @itch.io ! 🦊

I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance. Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.

Usual June, the game we're making, is really freaking pretty ya'll. 😍 Follow along at @usualjune.bsky.social & wishlist on Steam! #usualjune #indiegame #indiedev

i think people who leave a workout class during the cool down and stretch are afraid of emotional intimacy.

Apparently there’s a “kickoff” meeting between the DOGE people and Department of Labor management planned for tomorrow at 4pm ET. Unrelatedly, the Frances Perkins Building that houses the Dept of Labor is located at 200 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20210.

10 years ago this week, I started work on Tunic. The game wouldn't have been the success it was without LGBTQ+ folks, both devs and players. So, I'm matching donations to Trans Lifeline. If you can spare $5 (or more!) reply with your donation and I'll X2 it. Thank you! 💕 give.translifeline.org

congratulations to Kendrick Lamar and his song “Drake Is A Pedophile” for winning 15 grammys tonight

Trans folks seeking passports: Here's something potentially useful, to a small group. If you are in: Michigan Minnesota New York Vermont Washington You have access to an "EDL". This is a drivers license that can be used for LAND AND SEA (not air) entry to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean. (1/3)
