not to beat a dead horse but i also think that inexperienced, aspiring devs think concept art is polished and clean which is simply not true. it doesn't help that artbooks and promo material often show very well-rendered images as concept work. there's a lot of scribbling during the initial phases.

I uploaded a fix compilation for the PC version of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, having all the essentials to make it run smoothly on modern systems. Includes controller support and EAX audio restoration www.moddb.com/games/prince...

Fun video. Her very kindly worded attempt at discouraging relying on ChatGPT for coding (way too many questions to do with it) of course still ended up in horrible comments about how actually perfect it is or will be. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ_e...

I love finishing a game and thinking “I’m not sure how to feel about that!”

Over at Kotaku, we are trying to cover at least one cool indie game every week. It's called Indie of the Week! kotaku.com/opinion/impr... If you are an indie dev with something cool, feel free to send it to [email protected]!

I’ve only played up to the start of day five, but y’all. HORSES. What a wonderfully twisted, Argento-soaked sicko arthouse horror. Kudos @santaragione.com. I’m playing it on Steam Deck via Heroic Launcher, and it runs beautifully on high settings. Support weird indies. ➡️ www.gog.com/en/game/horses

Are you an indie developer with a game that you’d like to promote during the Hard Drive Game Awards?(Dec 12, 7PM ET) We’d love to talk to you! The only requirement is a willingness to be silly. 🤪 Send us a DM if you’re interested. Fundraising for www.pcrf.net tilt.fyi/qKf4ZQh2b0

yeah the harsh reality is that we do take a chance on small games no one's heard of a lot more often than anyone thinks we do. but literally no one reads the articles, which then reinforces to the powers that be that they're not worth doing. I don't know how to solve that problem!

If anyone here’s bought The Anime Archives book that I wrote, please leave a (hopefully nice) review on Amazon, as the more reviews it has the better it sells. More specifically to bury the 1-star review complaining that Evangelion isn’t covered even tho there’s a whole section devoted to Anno.

I made a room for this in collaboration with @thenomi.bsky.social. A lot of creative rooms to explore created by a wide variety of artists. Thank you to @kiteline.bsky.social for organizing and putting this all together. Can't wait to explore this.

YES, I am actually making this game together with Daisuke Amaya and Masashi( #room6 ) !!! Please look forward to #AvemaryRocket !!! store.steampowered.com/app/4145380/

Took a break from the project I should be working on for a little side quest. I've wanted to try making a desktop idle game for a while now. Little Desktop Runner sits on your desktop and is about going for runs and slowly improving. Wishlists appreciated! store.steampowered.com/app/4167350

“Don’t gather some of the most brilliant activists in the industry, treat us like crap, and then expect us to do nothing about it.” After the Game Awards cancelled its Future Class programme, @alyssamerc.bsky.social talked to its former honorees www.theguardian.com/games/2025/n...

We launched GenExile, our solarpunk city-builder, in Early Access last week. We had ~35k wishlists before launch (not a barnburner but not nothin'). And they said, "Well, there's no way you'll convert literally 0% of your wishlists to sales." I looked them dead in the eyes and said, "Watch me."
