From my experience sending press releases as a translator, I want to tell all indie game developers to consider the day you implement languages as a "second launch day" For non-English speaking gamers, the addition of their native language can feel just a new game release. #indiegame #indiegamedev

Received an email informing me of the AI-generated podcast about the master's thesis I wrote 7 years ago. Of course created without my consent, and of course kinda cringe; but still weirdly entertaining to listen to. The 'speaker' was mind-blown; at last some enthusiasm for my theoretical work!👍🤖

Proud to have my game featured in the Games From Ireland Steam Curator List! ✨

Thank you so much @vinicius-marino.bsky.social for this excellent and in-depth analysis of Benign Land! 🙏👌 #BenignLand #gamesasart #indiegame #portoguese #Samhain #mythology #Ireland

So Trump just slapped a 100% tariff on films 'made in foreign lands', seeing them as a 'National Security threat'? 🎬 Wonder how long until he starts throwing tariffs on 'foreign pixels'. 🎮💼 #filmindustry #Hollywood #gamesindustry #films #games #tarrifs #Trump

An atmospheric, ethereal piece with minimal interaction with the environment. Reminded me of interactive experiences one might find in a museum, in terms of it demanding your attention, requiring you to follow its pace and with a confidence and ability to hypnotise & pull you deep into it.

The environments you are walking through are breathtaking, and stumbling and gliding among them was a super interesting experience.

Thanks @balthuk.bsky.social for the kind words! 🙏✨
