i've been waiting for this one for a long time but TODAY we are checking out Demonschool! If you like Persona and SMT, you're gonna wanna check this one out 👀 #ad live now: www.twitch.tv/lorie check out the game: tinyurl.com/LorieDemonschool

Honestly shocked we don’t have a new Tales From the Crypt. Puppet host Cryptkeeper was legit

Might buy a CRT TV for that good good gaming vibe

A woman invented the Renaissance Fair, a woman invented what we today call Monopoly (someone stole her ideas and design), women invented the otome game which goes hand in hand with dating sims, like the list continues and goes on

is there a streamer or text/video creator out there that focuses on curating and trying new itch games? Kinda like indiepocalypse but someone else is playing the selection. that’s definitely a thing, right?

just a lil guy

"No Turning Back." The Three Tomes Indie Animatic Pilot is here. Time for witches, magic books and vampire romance. The pilot animatic premieres TODAY on YouTube @ 12pm PST www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fXF... #indieanimation #thethreetomes

Looking forward to reuniting with my fellow GDC panelists @ninfadp.bsky.social @drjclau.bsky.social @osamadorias.bsky.social to talk about unusual paths into and through the games industry during the @gamerella.bsky.social game jam! www.linkedin.com/posts/gamere...

If you’re an indie animator, THIS is the place you need to be—LightBox Expo. TBH even tho it's $$$ LightBox isn’t just another con…This is where the animation industry does show up. Studios are here. Recruiters are here. Reps are here. And the artists you admire most? Also here.

Something that ran through my head as I saw descriptions for Steam Next Fest games: if the project uses gen AI, it’s an instant skip Yes, even if it’s “just” for store assets However it’s intended, it LOOKS like an active gap in your craft, and there’s infinite other games to spend my time on

spoilers but here's everything I made for QBJ3 (so far)

45% of all AI answers had at least one significant issue. 31% of responses showed serious sourcing problems – missing, misleading, or incorrect attributions. 20% contained major accuracy issues, including hallucinated details and outdated information. www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

41 million people (including 20 million kids) will lose access to food in a few days while a new 90,000 square foot ballroom is being added to the White House. This political moment is profoundly disgusting.

This is growing to be an inspiring conversation. Keep ‘em coming!! Would appreciate any repost of the question below, as I now want to gather as many as I can to share out. Big help if you know the age range as well!

(screaming at my computer) IT'S POOP! SAY POOP! www.404media.co/trump-no-kin...

Any indies making kid-friendly games? Would love to grow a wishlist of titles for the little growing gamer we have. We last beat Kirby and the Forgotten Land together.

Here's the Garlic (aka Medulla) nebula in all of its glory. This is a very dim target. I collected about 53 hours of data with 38 of that being spent on the hydrogen. I don't normally post the starless versions of my images but it was just too good not to include. #astrophotography #photography

I need this

DropShot is in Next Fest! I’ve been working really hard on this one if you rock with it, drop a wishlist on Steam and help us keep it going! 🎮 store.steampowered.com/app/3987530/...

There are nearly 3,000 demos in the Steam Next Fest, and with so many new games coming out getting lost in the flood is a real problem, especially for indie games So here's your reminder, that if you play something cool, speak up and share it! Word of mouth is so damn important! 🥰

Nature is healing.

More hard-hitting journalism from yours truly.

We died many times, but kept climbing anyway. Thanks to @tolkhtv.bsky.social for joining tonight! We finished by raiding another member of the Calamity Crew, @mothrlomari.bsky.social, who is playing Vintage Story. Go watch!

And just like that, migrated over to Blacksky. Thank you @sharpiepls.com for the helpful guide!

Watching the dominos arrange for subtle, seemingly innocuous shifts in history and perception. Eyes looking in different directions, a slightly different carpet color, etc. What troubles me is when it becomes indiscernible and later used for reference in other media. AI Mandela Effect inbound.

hey.

The release of the new Reading Rainbow is like a candle in the dark, signaling resilience and hope youtu.be/gHAIjSkmnYI?...

My partner and I (2/4th of SNW) are both trans and attempting to leave the US (I’m also an Arab immigrant). It’s extremely expensive, so please consider buying our game/leaving it a review so that we have some sort of income when we inevitably have to make the jump and start over. Thank you.

Reposted but been thinking similar thoughts all morning. You’re never too old to start! Period! Unbound yourself from time and limiting beliefs.

You're never too old to start making indie games.

my game Spirit Swap is on sale! We’re a worker owned studio of all marginalized people. Every last one of us. Please check it out if you like dating sims and match-3 gameplay. store.steampowered.com/app/1592170/...

There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯 I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨ youtu.be/e7es7qdWVnU

Adding my voice to the chorus: the Sumud flotilla never entered Israeli waters. that is a lie. The Gazan coast is Palestinian territory (not even spiritually, like actually in international law) so the Sumud flotilla has not violated Israeli sovereignty. The Israelis intercepting them however…

YouTube is serving up another piece of my childhood internet experiences, now dubbing them “indie websites”. I am deeply appreciative of this and am immediately pivoting to recreate both my webpages.

Despite being very much online as a kid, gaming communities didn’t cross my mind until much later (it was all anime AMVs, Gaia Online, and AIM for me). Then I played .hack//Infection and the lines between anime, MMOs, and video games permanently altered for me

When is a machine not a machine?

A reminder that we run a LOT of freelance, and pay $300-$500ish (depending on work/size). We'll take pitches from anyone! BUT: please please PLEASE think about what you're pitching. It needs to be the kind of story we would want to run.

Let's see what this retro survival horror has in store next twitch.tv/daerhyk

Going back to more Sweet Home today at 2PM CST! twitch.tv/daerhyk

Friends and colleagues, I was impacted by the Xbox layoffs back in July. I'm am starting my job search in earnest now. Feel free to contact me with any opportunities in game design leadership and creative direction. (Or any other game design opportunities. Can't be too picky these days.)
