This is happening tonight in around 7 hours from now! Maybe see you there!

Arcadia is still my favorite play. So brilliant. "We shed as we pick up, like travellers who must carry everything in their arms, and what we let fall will be picked up by those behind. The procession is very long and life is very short. We die on the march."

Is this an “average” in that “we plugged in the salary of a ceo or two who is making 50x more than the employees and skewed the whole calculation we did”

Gosh, if only someone had already covered how to use choices to build subtext is a characterful linear scene already, in a talk that takes less time to read than a medium post from a guy who seems to have only played one game and that’s cos he wrote it

My rebuke. 286 words, probably including the title, idk.

I had a terrific time at the #CrimeBake this weekend! I was especially engaged by @bjmagnani.bsky.social's in depth discussion on forensics, and Carolyn R Russell's insight on flash fiction. So much to learn and celebrate. I will definitely be back next year! A huge thanks to the organizers!

Lunchtime at @necrimebakecon.bsky.social with Hallie Ephron and @jahennrikus.bsky.social interviewing Guest of Honor @loriraderday.bsky.social #crimebake #crimebake2025

Happy Birthday inkle! Congrats on the milestone and here's to many more happy hours of engaging, interactive storytelling! 🎉🍰

Excited to be attending this panel today! My first #CrimeBake!

man I dunno this is just off the top of my head, probably missed some things

No, Mr. President. You do not have the right to take away student debt forgiveness from teachers, nurses, veterans and other public servants if they do not show loyalty to your right-wing political agenda. This is a democracy, not a dictatorship. Rescind this illegal rule.

The games I beat in October:

Did you all see Google's Halloween version of Pac Man? Super cute!

Trump building himself a new gold-plated ballroom at the White House shows what he really cares about - which is definitely not you.

"45% more affordable (starting at $649)". My immediate reaction is that this point is at best only partially accurate, and at worst willfully dishonest. Previously, the Expo Floor Pass was all you needed to get in the door. For GDC 2025, it was $249. (1/5)

Our #puzzlemystery game #SecondStab generates the details of every mystery -- even the estate floorplan. So each playthrough feels unique and different! #MadeWithUnity #gamedev #indiedev

woooooooooooo! Guaranteed banger

If you, as a studio decide you're going to use human voices, you can easily create a fast, responsive pipeline. There are 1000s of voice actors, ready and available with broadcast quality home studios that can get you audio, fast. This is a leadership problem, not a logistical one.

That's all eight of our detectives in our #indie #puzzlegame! If you like a good #murdermystery, come join our discord and sign up for the #playtest! You are invited to a murder! discord.gg/UEdRat5B3U

Our last playable detective in #SecondStab is the By-the-Book Cop: An unwillingness to play politics guarantees she’ll never rise above this humble rank, but no one can deny the Constable’s world-class intellect. #cozymystery #murdermystery #indiegames

Our next playable detective in our #puzzlemystery #indiegame is the Foreign Prince: A leader of men. Philosopher. Warrior. The Prince brings his righteous perspective and compassionate understanding of human failings to every case. Only one more detective to reveal! #murdermystery

As an #adventuregame lover and a #murdermystery addict, The Colonel's Bequest was an absolute favorite growing up. It was so innovative and had a huge impact on me. It has definitely inspired our game #SecondStab. Roberta Williams’ Colonel’s Bequest - Ars Technica share.google/zwcfAPJBCmoc...

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal

And it's a timeless message

I swung by my favorite used bookshop in #Boston on the way home from No King's today. I picked up a copy of "Crooked House" by #AgathaChristie. The irony is not lost on me.

Our next detective is the youngest of the troop. He is the Chess Prodigy: If years of world-class competitive chess have taught the grand Master anything, it’s how to stay two moves ahead of your average murderer. Join us on the Discord, sign up for our #playtest! #indiegames discord.gg/UEdRat5B3U

Today's detectives featured detectives in #SecondStab are among the most underestimated of the bunch. First up is the Renegade Nun: Don’t let the flawless wimple fool you— a sharp mind and bold heart lurk beneath the modest veneer. ##cozymystery #murdermystery #indiegame

Look, it’s really straightforward to get a publisher as a new name indie in 2025. Simply do 95% of the work making and marketing your game, and if your metrics are trending towards almost certain success, a publisher will swoop in to promise the remaining 5%, deliver 3%, and collect 75%

For any folks who love games and a #cozymystery, we are gearing up for another #playtest of our puzzle mystery #whodunit A Matter of Murder: Second Stab! Come join the Discord and solve a murder or two! discord.gg/UEdRat5B3U

The next detective avatar in our #whodunit #indiegame is the Forensic Psychologist: She’s built a career on her shrewd understanding of the complexities of the human mind. Now she’s turning her skills to unmasking the evil in our midst. #SecondStab #mysterygame

Another one of our more playful detectives in our #indiegame #SecondStab is the Eccentric Lawyer: What the unconventionally sartorial Barrister lacks in social skills he more than makes up for with a scalpel-sharp intellect and impeccable instincts. #murdermystery
