I cannot stress how important Rebecca has been for trans gamedevs. I wouldn't be here if not for her and her wife. Help if you can.

Fuck — and I cannot stress this enough — YES ✨💋💖

One from me.

If you haven't yet signed this important petition by @nionwomen.bsky.social, a group of cis women who are opposed to being used to justify transphobia, now would be a good time to do so. It is just about to hit 55,000. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

I have made another blog post This one is very self-indulgent Please forgive me

Who's your favourite Jedi? Wrong answers only...

Today is a good day to wishlist an indie survival game about mice 🐭

After, what, five or six years(?), I'm blogging again! Just for fun, because I have a lot of random thoughts about games that don't quite fit either at work or on the podcast, but have found a home on our eclectic little bazaar of a website 💗

🧼1 YEAR OF MOUTHWASHING! To celebrate we have prepared: - Anniversary DLC w/ 3 pre-release builds - A new trailer - BTS collab w/ Joetastic - Nendoroid reveal w/ Good Smile - QnA in this thread THANK YOU for the memes, art & chaos 💖

Danganronpa/hundred line's Kodaka came to check out Demonschool at TGS but it was after hours and the machines were off. We're sending him a code and if he actually plays it we are going to spin around until we fall over.

It's been a wild couple of days in #HonkaiStarRail & #LoveAndDeepspace😅 My former gacha luck seems to have worn off lately, I'm waiting for pity guarantees and losing 50/50s left and right these days! But jealously saving up all my free pulls for new March and Zayne kits has paid off, I am pleased

Controversially, bringing the *huge* QOL improvements from the other three collections to the original trilogy remasters was higher on my wishlist than AA7 at this point in time, so I for one am a happy camper today😅

Happy #BiVisibilityDay, once again I have failed to remember to write something proper in time but let me just say: Men? Gorgeous. Women? Stunning. Enbies? Immaculate. As you were, friends 💗💜💙

Earlier today I had to pause and think about how to unhook both legs from around the arm of my office chair where I'd somehow managed to wedge them sooooo nope, I am not beating those allegations 😅

Where is his condemnation of the endless amount of harassment Erika Ishii has received because they're playing the main character in Yotei?

Happy to announce that I have found a new favourite thing ever (even if it does contain blatant Apollo Justice slander that I do not endorse)

Late to the party but we're playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Indy's just killed a fascist by falling ass-first onto the balcony railing he was sitting on and snapping his spine — 10/10 game

Danganronpa 2 remake/remix news is wild. Still processing that after 8 years they've gone with "the plot of every fangame but make it canon" Am I a tiny bit spicy because I'd've liked to see THH get this treatment first instead? Well, yes... Am I gonna buy it Day 1? For my sins, absolutely, ofc

A new postcard is here! Featuring: Byronic archetypes, Shakespearean reality TV, and luxurious purchases. indieventurepodcast.co.uk/indieventure...

Just realised that all of my gacha game mains are snow/ice themed ❄️☃️🐧 Genshin Impact - Kaeya Honkai Star Rail - March Zenless Zone Zero - Lycaon Love and Deepspace - Zayne Tears of Themis - Artem Is it possible that this reveals something so deeply personal about me even I don't know what it is? 😅

We're recording a mailbag tomorrow, so we want your questions! If they're about indie games that would be preferable, but deranged questions are also acceptable (and more on brand). Thanks!

New Oxtra vid inspired by the journalism of @stephentotilo.bsky.social, whereupon I dug around some business numbers and just thought people might be interested in them…you know…?

My initial thought was "the ghosts haunting the Goth house in The Sims, of course" before remembering that there's at least one earlier example: The Brickster picking the jail cell lock with a friggin pizza in Lego Island was surreal and unexpected enough to count as a jumpscare for 7-year-old me 😱

This is the exact energy I look for when deciding who's my favourite character in an otome game

I'm sure I've mentioned before that I'm *terrible* at remembering to boost my own work, so maybe this is the start of a better habit? 🤞

Awesome new video just dropped for when I need to soothe myself like a cranky toddler being allowed to watch cartoons on the iPad 😂 Seriously, it's really good, I was transfixed; I hope they make more! #AceAttorney #TheSims4

Demonschool on my birthday? 😲 Demonschool on my birthday! 😁

We are incredibly disappointed by the Labour government's decision to seek advice from such a narrow segment of our industry. You can find our open letter here: www.gameworkers.co.uk/open-letter-...

The Gaza Soup Kitchen run by Hani Almadhoun and family is currently feeding 3000 people a day under the monstrous conditions of the engineered famine happening before our eyes. You can help feed at least a few people. Please donate: gofund.me/e37b4bae

Loving reminder that, per Nintendo, CJ & Flick from Animal Crossing really are just "roommates" and "business partners", which goes to show Ninty don't know their own material too well😉 But that also at least one source went on semi-official record saying that Phoenix & Edgeworth are totally gay😎🌈

Remember Brits, this is the petition you need to sign, because this is the only one the government are obligated to pay attention to.

📢 ISO of Devs Affected by Itch 📢 If your game got: • Deindexed • Removed • Payouts turned off Especially if you make Adult &/or LGBTQ+ #IndieGame or #VisualNovel, I want to talk to you. 🗣️ Please reply below with how you were affected. This is for a #Journalism piece. 🔁 RTs Appreciated 🔁

The @indieventurepodcast.co.uk gurl squad playing Peak✨️🩷💫🌸

Quote with a character that if you came out to them, their first response would be "I'm gayer" (I was actually just looking for Franziska but this seemed even more apt, like you know this is recurring fodder for sibling one-upmanship)

Anyone else remember Through the Dragon's Eye? I was today years old when I learned that a lot of kids were apparently traumatised by that series And there was me, clearly already a budding horror fan, so obsessed I convinced the teacher to lend me the VHS so I could watch it again at home 🤭

Did a demon write this?

👄 NEW EPISODE 👅 The gang needed a break, so please enjoy the first episode of SIDE QUEST, our unfocused bonus series where we just yap for a solid hour about... well, anything. IN THIS EPISODE: We visited a HELLISH theme park in Yorkshire. Enjoy! indieventurepodcast.co.uk/podcast/side...

If you see this, quote post with a robot that isn't from Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, or Transformers (or don't, I'm not the boss of you) ... turns out this is almost too easy for a visual novel fan 😂
