hello, KO_OP is hiring! i'm biased but i think you should work here. www.workwithindies.com/careers/ko-o...

I wrote about the first Life is Strange game for Boss Fight! I’m really excited about it!!!! I think this book is one of my favourite things I’ve written and I also think I only could’ve written it in my mid to late 30s

🙏

From "found sound" to jaw harps, there's something for everyone in our latest video! youtu.be/OlgvoV4Q0ag 🎼 In a live talk & performance, our composer and audio director delve into the music of the game and how they created the sound of "clusterpunk".

I have started a book club for @softrains.bsky.social, and we are reading one of my absolute favourite books to kick it off! You can join here: discord.gg/p2TFrgXnzr

Grej and I were interviewed for our game's devlog about the music for Ambrosia Sky. We talk about worldbuilding through sound, discuss the instruments and techniques used in composing the game's tracks, and reveal the first full track — which you can now listen to!

I'm sorry for all the folks affected by layoffs recently. It's not much easier in the indie space and most of us are just getting by. If you are thinking about starting up a studio or going indie, I'm happy to share what I've learned running a small studio for the last 8 years with a remote team.

Do you like books? Speculative sci-fi books??? Do you want to read books and discuss them with new online friends? Well, you're in luck! Over on our Discord server, we are launching an official BOOK CLUB. 📚💖 To join, head over yonder: discord.gg/e9RwnGhQSS

DAWN OF THE FINAL DAY - 15ish hours remain ⏰ Our demo is only live for a few moments longer, don't miss your chance to play what @gameinformer.com called "awesome". 💙 store.steampowered.com/app/3716830/...

We're almost through Pride month, so be sure to grab some of the best LGBTQ+ games ever made. "Thirsty Suitors" from @outerloopgames.bsky.social is an excellent place to start. videogame.town/2025/06/04/t... #pride #lgbtq+ #gaygames #queergames #videogametown #indiegames

Wrote about a very cool upcoming game on Friday. The demo is on Steam through Monday. www.gamefile.news/p/ambrosia-s...

It's always such a rewarding feeling when, as a team, you put a lot of effort into crafting something intentional, and people resonate with the work. In other words, folks are picking up what we're putting down.

"The vibe is melancholy, but Ambrosia Sky’s gameplay is lively and kinetic. Cleaning the fungi feels good but also urgent, as the simulated spores detonate from flame, crackle with electricity and, at times, regrow." @stephentotilo.bsky.social www.gamefile.news/p/ambrosia-s...

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

If you're still thinking to yourself: I've got *plenty* of time to play the Ambrosia Sky demo, well, you're not... technically wrong. BUT that time will go by fast, and this will (let's pretend) be our last reminder, so this is your sign! store.steampowered.com/app/3716830/...

CEO compensation graphed next to employee compensation. 🙃

I'm willing to bet money that Gaius Baltar was on a dev's mood board when they were making Jan Scientist 😌 #TheAlters

Y'all... I'm obsessed 💕

Do you want to feel feelings while cleaning hostile fungus out of space habitats, putting the dead to rest and occasionally getting electrocuted and set on fire? Well that is an extremely specific thing to want but boy howdy do we have a game for you

Don't miss out 😁

⚠ PSA: Grab our demo before 11:59pm (Pacific) on June 30! You only have a limited time to claim the Ambrosia Sky demo; don't miss out on the game that @sixoneindie.com called "the biggest surprise of Play Days." 💜 Grab the demo here: store.steampowered.com/app/3716830/...

Back in 2018, I was working on an RPG inspired by the Paper Mario series. I don't think I'll end up finishing this game, but I figured I could share the demo that I had put together anyway. #gamedev Blog post and demo here! 🔽 adamgryu.itch.io/paper-game/d...

Over at the devblog, we're sharing some info on the design, concept art and technology behind Ambrosia Sky's fungus species! blog.softrains.games/a-sci-fi-cle...

"The layers upon layers of storytelling contained in a game that, on the surface, involves simply removal of fungus from a space station, is what makes Ambrosia Sky so interesting." brb, sobbing

In this week's devlog, we dive deep into our core mechanic: cleaning up alien fungus. 🧽🍄 Learn more about how the fungus was developed, the technology behind it, and gain some insight from our tech director @julesfern.gay! 📖: tiny.cc/ambrosiasky-...
