We've been nominated for a "Hidden Gem" Award!!!!! Moles, you know what to do,,,💎⛏️ Link to Vote: forms.office.com/e/EqxsJtJuTh

I caved and made a Twitter account (too much is still happening there workwise for me to not be there). But heavily curating who I’m following and what I’m seeing (and not under my name). Which mutual friends are still there? ❤️

I know you’ll want this 👀

A Lord of the Rings quote we all need to let sink in. “Saruman believes that it’s only great power that can hold evil in check. But that’s not what I have found. I found that it is the small things.. everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at bay. Simple acts of kindness and love”.

After 5 YEARS of work, it's happening - THE KNIGHTLING IS OUT NOW!!!😭🎉🛡️ We couldn't be prouder and can't wait for the world to jump, slide and adventure through this colorful new world we built!✨ #indiedev 🖤Steam: sabr.gg/4dkjyZy 💙PlayStation 5: sabr.gg/4djxwL2 💚Xbox Series X|S: sabr.gg/3WJndce

So happy I get to show the work I did for @geographyofrobots.bsky.social and @lostincult.co.uk !! First up is the poster!

Wispfire is casting English speaking actors for our next game! If you are an experienced EU voice-over artist, or a VTuber who has the ambition to bring a vampire to life in a game, now is your chance! Please have a look at these paid jobs on wispfire.com/jobs #VA #VoiceCasting #VoiceActing #Vtuber

Got to work with @geographyofrobots.bsky.social @lostincult.co.uk and @toadsanime.lostincult.co.uk on the NORCO EDITIONS release, it's beautiful. NORCO is not just a game, it's like a fever dream in the swamp. A slow burn that will light your chest up. Proud to have helped it take physical form.

Ziff Davis and IGN routinely decide that work done by our laid off colleagues is not important. But inevitably, that crucial work falls onto those who remain. Not this time. Not anymore.

Bear Knuckle is changing gears. I started it to help self-publishing studios with their business, working w/ teams like Appelmoes Games, Merge Conflict, and Bunnyhug. Now: ❌ Self-pub business consulting. ✅ Free 30-min consulting for devs from underrepresented backgrounds at bearknuckle.org

Level 34 and having a good day ✨

Funding a game can be hard, especially if you’re a gender marginalized developer without traditional industry access. This is why our $50K WINGS Elevate Program exists! To help early-stage teams get pitch-ready ✅🔥 Submit by Aug 30! bit.ly/WINGSElevate...

✅ Just back from holiday 🥱 Had to get up at 5:45 🔜 On my way to Gamescom

Anyone here used CBD oil to calm mind to go to sleep with ADHD? If so, at what strength and how long does it take to become tired? 😌

Dear Dutch government, CC: @ministerbz.bsky.social. We sit at the heart of internal law. The ICJ sits on our soil. Yet Genocide still unfolds on Gaza and Israel is openly talking about its plans to military occupy Gaza, and the Netherlands does nothing to stop it. I call on you for leadership 🧵

📫 OUT OF OFFICE HAS BEEN SET ✅ HOLIDAY HAS STARTED 👉 BACK FOR GAMESCOM

ooooooooo look at what I got delivered today‼️👀 (Congrats @victoriatran.bsky.social!! 💜 very excited to read this when my vacation starts next week!!)

This seems like a very cool opportunity for games launching this year that need: a little bit more funding to get across the finish line need funding to localize their game and open up opportunities in other countries need marketing budget to reach their launch wishlist goals

Hi friends! My team is casting 5 voice actors for contract roles in our combat-focused video game! Ideally remote voice talent with home recording setups. We’re seeking authentic representation for the following roles:

The distance between me and where Kendrick Lamar will be in 90 minutes

This is 100% true. Most people who buy your game on Steam, will never play it. A game like Stardew Valley sold 27M units, but had “only” 236.000 (~2%) players played it at the same time at it’s peak. Balatro sold 5.3M units, but was played by 43.000 people at its peak (less than 1%).

No other games today!! No shadowdrop!!!! Get Post Trauma today!!

Any friends here still playing Pokémon GO? I started a new account after a two year hiatus :)

Doing this last time was very insightful- so doing this again! Hey gamedev friends 💜 For those of you that have self-published/are in the process of self-publishing your game, what’s your number one business challenge? For those that decided not to self-publish, what made you decide that?

Hey, To my game dev peeps out there, what is your number one challenge related to obtaining funding for the game you’re trying to develop? 💜

For the last month I have done very little but think about, talk about, and play Blue Prince. It's sort of like a cross between Slay the Spire and Outer Wilds — you progress by gaining knowledge — but it's also much more than that. It is one of the most incredible games I have played in my life.

Blue Prince.

REBOOT ROLL CALL

Chapter II in the post-GDC jetlag: It is now 3:30 a.m., and I need to be up in four hours to bring my son to my parents-in-law before a full work day. I’m wide awake, and my head already hurts. This is going to suuuuuuuuck

I just slept 14 consecutive hours since coming back from GDC and now it’s 2pm jetlag fun

red crewmate on my flight should I be worried

a thread with pics of my favorite GDC moments and some of my fav peeps

If you see me at GDC this week, please say hi but also please be aware that at least 50% of my mind will be thinking about Blue Prince

To those about to GDC, here are some tips from a conference veteran: - Hollowpoint bullets. 2 to the head. One to the heart. Burn the body - Do not eat anything containing Umlauts. Ä, Ü, Ø etc. don't touch it - if you meet someone claiming to be from EA just run. EA is mostly cannibals these days

It’s GDC & San Francisco time

I need your help with a test 🫵🏻 Most of my followers now seem to come from lists I’m on, but I notice low interaction vs interaction in the beginning. So, I want to test this. Help by replying: ✅ Read this on Following | ❌ Read this on Discover 👍 Follow manually | 👎 follow through the list

Step by step, room by room, door by door... We are excited to announce that Blue Prince will also be coming to PS5 & PS+ Game Catalog, Xbox Series S|X Windows & Game Pass, Spring 2025.
