When your crush talks about someone else… Yeah. That feeling. #IWriteGamesNotTragedies #RhythmGame #VisualNovel #IndieGames #ExplorePage #Emo

There's been no model that can match my freak, no amount of verbs and adjectives will give shape to what I really want. I can only trust myself to make it happen.

It's 2026! Hope you had a relaxing holiday break! Our game THE SPIRIT LIFT launches on January 27!!! store.steampowered.com/app/1727590/... So I'll be posting more and we'll have new stuff over at @prettysmart.bsky.social too! (I find social media scary but I'll do my best!) #gamedev #indiegame

I’m so excited to announce “Dark Dreams on Diverging Roads”! In this game you’ll play as a famous author on a book tour. Drive to unique locations, meet interesting characters, drink lots of coffee, and LOOK BEHIND YOU. Wishlist now on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4228950/...

you can def network vertically, but prioritize networking horizontally surround yourself with kind, hardworking, and talented friends, and it’s only a matter of time before your careers go places also: if you can’t take an opportunity, pass it on to a friend who’d do just as well if not better

He asks if you want a drink. You pause for a bit. …now what? #IWriteGamesNotTragedies #SteamWishlist #RhythmGame #VisualNovel #IndieGames #Emo

Voormalig werkneemster beschuldigt Critical Reflex van seksuele intimidatie en illegale arbeidspraktijken Bekend van horrorhit Mouthwashing #gamequarter #gamingnews

I never worked at Critical Reflex but in the spirit of being an ally, I will say I can personally corroborate the sexual harassment from a named individual in the article because I experienced it too. sadly not the first or last time I dealt with this from publishers + investors I was speaking with

Absolutely disgusting the biggest indie horror publisher allegedly condoned serious workplace issues from unfair labor practices to sexual harassment. I hope Critical Reflex address these allegations ASAP. Developers deserve clarity before continuing partnerships

With Critical Reflex being such a major player in the indie space, these accusations of covered up sexual harassment and unfair labour practices are all deeply disappointing and distressing. I hope this all gets tackled quickly and decisively. noisypixel.net/critical-ref...

Speaking of The Knightling... We couldn't afford to spend our entire dev budget on a trailer at THAT award show, but you can see it on Steam! And I'm so chuffed that even though this game is CRIMINALLY overlooked, 100% of our recent reviews were positive! 🛡️ store.steampowered.com/app/1471650/...

Raijin in FF8 considers himself an honourable ladies' man, & so every time you fight him if there's only women alive in the party, he won't attack & will just stand & take a beating. UNLESS he's been blinded by a spell... & then, because he can't see who he's hitting, he'll attack the girls.

The second part of my I Write Games Not Tragedies playthrough went up this morning, a demo playrhrough goes live tomorrow, and something esoeciskky special releases next week :) youtube.com/@honestindie...

The yappiest girl in FFVIII was in a coma for like 2 discs 🥲

Hey all, it's been awhile since we provided an update. We want to let you all know that the final amount of $105,711.24 USD (after fees) was received by UNRWA USA. Thank you to everyone again for your support. And remember, the fight for Palestine's freedom continues.

An article from a Japanese conference where I talked in detail about the development philosophy behind Öoo is now available! It’s in Japanese, but translation tools should still make it readable. Hope you find it helpful!
