We made a new game. It’s called Q-UP. It’s a coin flipping eSport. There’s a free demo! store.steampowered.com/app/3730790/...

Trying out Monkeylicker's multiplayer mod...

I reviewed Baby Steps (@babystepsgame.bsky.social), an intentionally infuriating walking simulator, and it has inexplicably become one of my favorite games of 2025. Check out my review, where I do my best to…explicastrate, via @ign.com: bit.ly/3IBbut3

Baby Steps starts as an elaborate shitpost before slowly revealing itself to be a sincere game about male insecurity. A deconstruction of the kind of idealized picture of manhood that video games helped create wrapped in a terrific slapstick comedy. My review. www.polygon.com/baby-steps-r...

Baby Steps is now releasing on September 23 on PS5 and PC! [Nate is allergic to hornets]

I released a game recently in Early Access and the demo for it is now up on Steam! If you like deckbuilders and/or turn-based tactics, give it a whirl!

🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨 After 4 years of work, my solarpunk game finally has a title, a trailer, and a Steam page! Wishlist... Future? No Thanks! 👉 futurenothanks.com

UltraNothing is the one of the best games I’ve played in years. It is the slowest of burns, but 140 puzzles (~17 hours) in I am just continually shocked by how creative and radical and fun it is. It’s four dollars! It demands your whole brain but it is so worth it.

The Baby Steps demo has stumbled, tripped, and slid right onto Steam. Watch your step. 👶🏽🦶🏽

THANKS SO MUCH to everyone who showed up to watch me and @hantani.bsky.social's Unearthed Treasure Room stream!!! we hope this stream inspires people and we hope to do more in the future! you can watch the video of the stream on either of our channels below bsky.app/profile/ella...

Maybe u should "Switch 2" playing more indie games

Did the witch in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves always have a laser beam? I don’t remember her having a laser beam

in pondlife: discone (a videogame), you can jump & surf on anything. there's no hard distinction between wall or ground. there's also no combo meter or trick button, you move your character (her name is icecream) and make it all up. #discone #jump #climbing #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

We promised more fútbol! @aguaspoints.bsky.social offers a poignant, lyrical review of @despelote.game. "As I played and thought about the game, I found myself kicking collective dreams past each other in perpetuity..." www.gamerswithglasses.com/reviews/desp...

every year or so, a single indie game triggers an avalanche of great writing. you should play despelote and you should read about despelote

⚽ despelote is OUT NOW on Steam, PlayStation 4 & 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Coming soon to Switch. A bittersweet and sometimes dreamy semi-autobiographical tale of youth taking place in 2001 Quito, Ecuador. Hecho con pasión.

Despelote comes out later today. Admittedly I've missed a few of 2025's biggest guns, but it's my favourite game of the year so far. It takes an almighty swing at one point that made me gasp aloud: any game that achieves that response is doing something right. store.steampowered.com/app/2367820/...

Had a great time last week at GDC previewing Baby Steps. If you ever thought what it would be like to combine the exploration of Death Stranding with the controls of QWOP well you’re in luck because thats Baby Steps only with more absurd humor and silly hats. www.ign.com/articles/bab...

In Baby Steps, I stumbled through a refreshing kind of open world

This is the good shit

More people need to be attending to Adam’s recent run of free pico-8 games

new web game! CAVE OF CARDS ♠️ Dig around and find out 👀👀👀 ♣️ Fight monsters like: Mold, Demigorgon Flower, or Eyes ♦️ Spend gems on UPGRADE (s) ♥️ Don't die !! From fighting, or punching rocks - 🚪 Escape the cave and get AHIGH SCORE made in #PICO8 ( again) adamatomic.itch.io/caveofcards

Japanese friends: when you first saw QWOP, did it make you think of Carl-kun? (I just learned about Carl-kun) youtu.be/6sN_aQNMFOY?...

Yes, important post... I'd go as far as to say the term "quality of life" straight up makes it hard for the audience to treat games "as art" (and imo enjoy them fully). In turn, that means less "art" goes into games and more "service".

'state of the industry' slide decks are great, but I always recommend watching Martin's annual IGF playlist in its entirety if you want to understand what's happening in indie games

despelote has been nominated for an IGF award in: * Excellence in Audio * Excellence in Narrative * Nuovo Award * The Seumas Mcnally Grand Prize We are floored! 🤯 Thank you to the IGF judges for the honor and congrats to our fellow nominees! Excited for you all to play despelote this year.

So, uh, Consume Me, the game I've been working on with @qdork.bsky.social and @frogfungus.bsky.social and Violet (not on here) is coming out later this year and you can wishlist it starting today: store.steampowered.com/app/2359120/...

Article makes some good arguments about cultural erasure. As someone who has nostalgia for games from both Europe and the USA, there is something more that is often missed: we can still enjoy US and JP games from the 80s/90s because they are mostly console and arcade games that run at 60Hz… (1/2)

48 hours left to back 868-BACK! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... it really helps me to be paid now rather than in some months time, so if you’re going to buy it anyway and can afford it now, please do!

Happy annual unsubscribe day!

@zusty.bsky.social whoa, you worked on Dr. Katz?!? 🤯 that is one of the main influences on our current game…

NY NY! With 10 days to go until No Quarter returns we can finally share details of what the 2024 cohort have been cooking up over the past year... No Quarter takes place Sat 23 Nov from 7pm in Brooklyn, tis free to attend but RSVPs are essential (+ it always sells out) noquarter2024.eventbrite.com

Mask Quest is out! Been waiting on a new ‘full’ increpare game for a long time :) store.steampowered.com/app/1127660/...

I’m gonna promote this rule change until they implement it and call it Bennett’s Rule: if an NBA player gets to the line for a blocking foul six times in a game, each subsequent contact should be ruled an automatic charge. “If you run into assholes all day, you’re the asshole”.

Just saying

That new Alan Wake game is actually great.

I want to read the Slack channel where NYT Cooking writers talk about the comments they get under their recipes

New gameplsy trailer for Baby Steps just kicked off State of Play!! Congrats to @maxiboch.bsky.social @foddy.net and Gabe who is not on BlueSky 🥳

Somehow as a kid I did not notice how spectacularly strange Superman (1978) is

Did a long-form interview with Clayton Purdom on game difficulty https://exmove.substack.com/p/its-okay-to-be-bad-at-games

So, who else on here finished Final Fantasy XVI? How was it for you, honestly? Like, imagining for a second that you could be totally honest about it and nobody would think you were being mean.

40 hours in, I’m getting the sense that this Final Fantasy game was started during an era where it seemed unthinkable that Game of Thrones would ever be uncool or unpopular

FF16 is the first game I’ve seen where a dominant dates another dominant

Announced our next game today https://youtu.be/hRLgwCslWsQ

taking famous actors' photos, replacing one side with Photoshop generative fill, then replacing the other side.

What’s good?
