I don't know who needs to hear this, it is entirely possible to build a whole game without generative AI. All our art, VO, worldbuilding, lore etc. is done by humans because we think our team is awesome and we value their expertise and labor. 🧡

Three years ago we visited Yacht Club Games to make a detailed documentary about the process of making of Mina the Hollower, which finally released last week to wide acclaim. You can check out the documentary right here: gameinformer.com/documentary/...

Are we doing this right

Formery a live-service game, refitted into a self-contained action RPG. Very pretty, solid action. Under £3 is pretty dang good.

I know that we are 2 days away from our next Six One Indie Showcase, but we are always trying to stay one step ahead. So with that in mind... Our next event, Demo Days, is now accepting submissions! More info below! (1/4) 📝: forms.gle/hcvk6xhgeArS...

Miami mental health center 'losing money and credibility' as county delays funding vote (via @joshceb.bsky.social )

This. I'm so tired of seeing sales data on game releases. I don't care! That's for the suits, not the consumer

Nobody told me that Blue Manchu (Void Bastards) announced a new game. 'Godzone 6' is coming to PC. store.steampowered.com/app/3850440/... youtu.be/ayIqITxwSEI

We reached overwhelmingly positive!! That means that at least 95% of the reviews are positive! Thank you to everyone who played the game, talked about it, made videos, recommended it and - of course - left a review! For indie teams like us that is an incredible help!

Oh the mental whiplash of being so happy there's a new Starfox game but hating the redesigns

Honored that @pulitzerprizes.bsky.social recognized our @miamiherald.com / @wlrnnews.bsky.social investigation into the country’s deadliest major passenger train www.miamiherald.com/news/local/a...

The rumors are true... We had to bury every other mascot platformer to make Bubsy 4D happen.

Got asked to create a Tails plane and went a bit overboard 🛩️💅 What can we say, we love Sonic! 🦔 So, who's next? 🥰 #louslagoon #indiedev

Plagued by fantasies of owning a Nintendo Switch 2 and playing Pokémon Pokopia one day, @maddie-b-a.bsky.social distracts herself by thinking about how the core attraction of today’s most popular cosy games is just socialism.

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

📣 Latin American indie devs, show us your games! Submissions for @lagshowcase.bsky.social’s Summer Game Fest edition are closing soon, but we’re still scouting for great titles from the region. Share your game below and let us see how we can support you 🫡

MISSION UPDATE! We're joining the ranks of the hottest pixel jockeys at Fireshine Games! These are the aces behind the publishing of Core Keeper, Denshattack, Far Far West - and now, AEROMACHINA! So excited to finally be able to say so 🥳🎊

Today is International Transgender Day of Visibility.

You know, now that I have it all set up and I’m playing it on a TV that’s able to take advantage of all its bells and whistles, I have to say… I really can’t see the advantage and I’ve lost my disc drive.

Making a game as a little indie studio is hard, marketing it is harder! The best way you can support us is to play The Knightling, leave us a review, and share the game with your friends! And it's on a huge sale now! Our 0.35 marketing person thanks you 🙏 store.steampowered.com/app/1471650/...

It was really hard to pick only 9. The first four were no brainers. Then I had to think about games that spoke to me emotionally. The last two are blueprints for mechanics I love every time they show up in other games.

Only 13 more reviews now! 😱

The more I play Sulfur by @perfectrandom.bsky.social, the more I think it belongs in the hall of fame with roguelike greats like Binding of Isaac and Enter the Gungeon. Endless creativity and customization, addicting gameplay loop, so much to experiment with and discover. I'm hooked

Here's a new gameplay mechanic: 🧗‍♂️Grapple Holds🧗‍♂️ You can now grab onto specific points on walls and jump between them! We're slowly becoming a climbslop game... #RadVenture #Indiegame #gamedev #unrealengine5

Videogames are cool because sometimes they just look like this

I don't need them to look like the game but this just looks silly to me

Just discovered Mama's Sleeping Angels and it strikes me as a hardcore @dominictarason.com type game store.steampowered.com/app/2918310/...

He's me fr

This thing immediately punched me in the face with how cool it is
