Is the government employing comedians to write its media releases? UK ally Israel has become the biggest killer of journalists, and the UK has said practically nothing about this for the last 3 years.

Coroners across England and Wales have been asked to do more to question the role of the Department for Work and Pensions in the deaths of benefit claimants before they carry out inquests. #DWP #Inquests www.disabilitynewsservice.com/coroners-are...

🧵 On Saturday at Spring Conference, Greens For Palestine came with clarity, courage, conviction and we held power. Together we organised, we spoke, and we voted with purpose.

It tears me apart that I can't show you everything just yet, but give me a year or two and I'll invite to a great adventure, I promise. Sharing these because of vibes. #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

I've already had the privilege of playing this whimsical and wonderful circus performer sim, and am so happy to see it coming to Steam. A great little indie gem by two great devs—go wishlist!!! #indiedev #indiegame

Step 1: Take picture of my boyfriend's weird cat Step 2: Put it into the selected aseprite colour palette Step 3: Shrink it reeeeeeally small, put a frame around it Step 4: Hide it on the wall. That's game dev 😎 #indiedev #pixelart

A tribunal has ordered the Department for Work and Pensions to release a report that describes the impact of its errors on disabled benefit claimants, following a three-year fight to keep the document secret. #DWP www.disabilitynewsservice.com/tribunal-dis...

For less than half the price of the last coffee I bought (£2.49!) you can get your hands on our labour of love that grapples with themes of alienation, dehumanisation, and environmental justice! #indiegame #indiedev

HELLO IT WAS MY FAULT WE POSTED THE OLD VERSION. I WAS ON THE LITERAL GDC FLOOR UPLOADING THE CONTRACT lol. But also our website for submissions has said this since Day 1 this so there

This is the direction I hope the space travels in. Anecdotally, the two person studio I'm part of requires anyone that hires us to agree not to use AI and to remove us from the credits if this is breached. Same for those we hire. Zero tolerance because our own dignity as artists demands just that.

I've been following this for a while, and it looks to be a very rich and interesting vein of surreal asymmetrical madness, so I'm very excited to see the Kickstarter looming 👀

It's just been announced that @greens4palestine.bsky.social's motion "Zionism is Racism" WILL be heard at Spring Conference. The next step is for GPEW members who opposed settler-colonialism and genocide to make sure to book their place at conference and vote to make Greens an anti-zionist party.

🥳🥳🥳 Switchboard is such a cool labour of love, and absolutely deserves this and so much more. A fully voice acted Papers Please-like! Set in 1950s England! With a really novel and tactile core mechanic! You should go wishlist it too! #indiegame #indiegames #papersplease #unity #solodev

all will rise is handing back Microsoft money & pledging @nogamesforgenocide.com — it’s a difficult thing to do when funding and attention are scarce commodities for indies like us, but we hope more of our fellow devs and indie studios will join us in taking a stand 🔥 www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Blown away by this showcase today, everything in it is so fascinating and inspiring. I wanna make more games that are like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og6_...

Our demo is out now! Check it out on the Contact Protocol Steam page 📼 #indiedev #gamedev #demo #steam

SWORDS UP, WANDERERS. THE PEOPLE ARE WAITING. MAKE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL HAPPEN. WE ARE ON YOUR SIDE. 10,000 SWORDS AGAINST HEAVEN is an Ultraviolent Tropical Gothic Xianxia RPG. Martial artists and mystics wander and survive a Buddho-Communist Dark Fantasy world. Out for free!👇🏽

Can't be stressed enough how different "members decide policy" makes the Greens to every other mainstream party. There's a structural reason the policy platform is better, created by an ideological belief in democracy and member agency obviously not shared by the neoliberal competition.

I got hyperfixated on Princess Mononoke a few years ago, including reading loads of articles about the translation, technical development, its reception, and the role of women in Miyazaki's body of work. Anyway, I have the art book now and it's super cool 👀 #ghibli

John's journalistic work is excellent and important and it's great to hear that the future of DNS seems bright. As good a time as any for me to once again recommend John's excellent and heart-rending book The Department, which outlines with deep humanity the cruelty of the DWP.

Hey you know what we haven't done in ages? A why @rascal.news fucking rocks thread! Fight Truck. Which is not just about Fight Truck. www.rascal.news/i-want-to-fi...

Been busy but we also hit fifty steam sales on our first steam release a few days back 🥳 Not bad for a weird little narrative game about green washing! #indiegame #indiedev #godot

It's time! 🥁🥁🥁 House on the Bailey's Year in Review! Our top moments, films, music, and games, one year on from when we were whispered into existence by strange and inscrutable rituals. Here's to a bigger and better 2026! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

Hugely principled and necessary action by Zarah, an excellent example of a new (old!) type of politics—this is what we should demand and expect from our representatives. Qesser has been transported by ambulance to the hospital now, thanks to this intervention, but police are descending on attendees

Here are the best games of the year according to our own @cassmarshall.bsky.social www.rogue.site/editorials/t...

It's out! 🥳 I'm insanely proud of our work here, but we've made a game that's weird, interesting, and (dare I say!) very funny. Too much to say—of what inspired us, of the themes, of the learning journey of making our first game, of the amazing experience of exhibiting it—but I'll stick to "wow".

It's my birthday, so you should buy my game 🥳 It's good, I promise, we even have 100% positive rating! (1 review) #indiedev #pixelart #narrativegame #pixelart

Belated, but the day after releasing Behind the Hydra's Eyes, I travelled ~250 miles across the UK. Grey clouds holding back a marbled blue, rolling hills of sodden greens and browns, distant ghostly shapes of trees and turbines—omens written in gnarled wood and steel, engines masking whispers.

I will be reading this over Christmas as a festive treat to myself—a chunky 661 page behemoth of archival work. I'd actually been waiting eagerly for it after reading Iskra's other archival collection on the PLO earlier this year, and have my eyes on some of their beautiful poetry collections.

One of those games that stays with you in the best of ways. Tonally one of the most carefully balanced games I've ever played. Amazing work.

It's official, Behind the Hydra's Eyes is out now on Steam 🤯 For £4.99, you too can experience the joys of British office work. Answer emails, make tea, and avoid thinking about the building sense of dread! store.steampowered.com/app/3554030/... #indiegames #godot #narrative #pixelart #steam

Ad layout on Canary's website layout makes this read like an onion gag lmao. Anyway, people powered politics is the future, huge props to Zack and everyone working to make the Greens a vehicle for hope.

I'm at the airport waiting for my flight home from AdventureX 2025, so here's a thread of the games that were exhibited at this year's event.

HotB will be there!! 🥳🤯🤯 Come say hi to me and @dragosf.bsky.social if you like leftist pixel games or satire that's equal parts bleak and surreal!
