they're calling it the most boycotted event of all time

TODAY IS THE DAY!! i'll be high in the sky on my way to LA during the showcase but am hoping to try and catch it :') please go support ledgerbound this afternoon and all of the other great games this showcase will be amplifying!

Check it out!! I had a GREAT time this year working with the wonderful team at Drydock on Wylde Society, and it's going to be SUCH a delight! Cozy witchy queer period drama sim, what's not to love? Can't wait for y'all to meet (and romance and/or matchmake!) all these charming characters!

well these scaries sure are here this sunday!

to be loved is to recommend thirst trap art of your game's characters and all your teammates go "fuck yeah!!!!"

Is it hot-hot in here, or is it just us? Ledgerbound has almost 25K wishlists on Steam! As a token of our gratitude, we'll allow a quick, unpaid break for you to enjoy our newest illustration of Jazz. #indiedev #indiegamedev

every time i think im over bts there goes bts jin pulling me back in

let the record show my plague game idea has been in the game design doc of my mind for over a year now and just keeps getting better

my career has led to me, on more than one occasion, watching astarion fan edits as research # blessed

i was born in the right generation, i love horsegiirL

'We survive or fail on our own terms:' The rise and risk of independent game media

i have GOT to find time to actually PLAY video games again

thinking about all the friends i get to see next week in LA!!!!

cannot believe im going to iceland in less than two months……. literally never thought id be able to afford a trip even to the other side of the country, let alone outside of the country all together!!!

when i see a piece of art im afraid will challenge my comfort in a way i cannot handle, i practice the sacred rule of thumb:

oh no. my eyes have seen The Discourse and it cannot be undone.

CAT IS OUT OF THE BAG!! Not only will we be at TGAs this year as a big, happy Ledgerbound family, we're also taking part in this amazing showcase!!!

cannot wait to be in LA next week for my very first game awards!! we'll be hanging out in The Usual Spot if you'd like to meet up and learn a little about ledgerbound, one of the hottest indies coming to a steam store near you soon!

thinking you can just explain your perspective clearly/kindly enough is a canon event for growing up in a world increasingly consumed by bad faith approaches to important issues

are they... you know *whispers* narrative foils?

just booked my first vacation ever thats going to be my first trip outside of the US, as well........... iceland is not ready for me!!!

in my sick state i forgot to share my new mask that i’ll be hanging on my wall 🖤

save me four hour long new defunctland video, four hour long new defunctland video please save me

any TGAs fashionistas want to let me know if my dress is Too Much or Giving? i have enough time to get an alternate piece if needed!

TW: physical abuse it's been almost six years since i cut off my abusive ex bf. i dont think ive ever talked about it publicly because im honestly so scared he'd be sent it and take it as an excuse to reach out again, but it feels a little somber for a split moment every year around now

immersive sims are games where you can flush the toilet

kind of cruel i get sick the same week wicked: for good is officially out ngl

anyways i cannot wait for the independent games festival happening on march 11 2026!!!!

handling open enrollment today. my cost for healthcare is going up by 30%, and that was the GOOD option for us. may they rot!!!!

a plague upon the houses of all scalpers

GDC just shared a game industry salary report where 53% of respondents said they felt "somewhat undercompensated" or "significantly undercompensated". that number increases to 69% when accounting for contractors, consultants, and part-time employees!!!!

first time being in LA during TGAs, do we still dress up nice even if we arent at the physical awards? 👉👈

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

hello game dev community, i am looking to interview a few people who have been in the industry for 5+ years and are comfortable in the role they chose for themself in their career. i want to hear from everyone, producers, engineers, narrative, community managers, etc. !!!

Yes I spent my valuable time on earth making a theoretical Edgar Allen Poe game for Gameboy.

EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award. The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.

hitting a major emotional and mental slump just in time for the sun to be setting at 5:30pm everyday and on the crux of awards season :')

spencer came home!!!! 💜💛 @dropout.tv

Savor this moment, friends. They couldn’t buy their way to a win. They couldn’t racist their way to a win. There are more of us than them, and we fucking beat them. And we can keep beating them.
