Horrible and dehumanizing, it’s insane how evil these people are. These projects are clearly built to exploit the weak and those in need of real help. There is NO way this stuff is built for a good cause.

The more you think about the implications and consequences of this choice, the more depressing it gets. I’m not into any of their games, but still very depressing.

A majority of programming will never be seen but it will be felt. Immense time and effort programming a game doesn't appear on screen in any way but it often makes it easier to put things on screen. #gamedev #indiegamedev

The WORST thing about getting published by Devolver is that we had to get rid of this

"We have American Truck Simulator at home" but it's actually surprisingly good! Seriously, if you have a PlayDate, give this a try.

Hard to believe it’s been 10 years since I first tried pixelart animation. Feels like forever ago and like yesterday at the same time. Every frame since then has been such delightful journey.

I wonder what would happen if anybody called him son of a bitch (Screen from ig @theresistance1789 )

I will be forever grateful to Cannonball for letting us choose our favorite way to play OutRun. 🌴 In my case, with the hypothetical SEGA Genesis remix of “Shiny World” from OutRun 2, by Yousuke Yasui. Imho the absolute best song in the whole series!

i think one of the best parts of the apple presentation is that they credited photographers

Not sure why I didn't follow EGVroom on Bsky yet and how I didn't repost the OutRun GB launch yet... Let me fix that!

heyyy everybody~ im back at it again, paycheck is late so to pay the rent all the games including 10S FOREVER are half off on itch over the weekend <3 surely there are no problems with this timing as nobody is playing anything else today. does anybody else hear that alarm itch.io/s/159738/per...

Some faith in humanity restored.

more billboard 3D fakery :) The ground is just a repeating .gif. #pixelart

debugging code before going to an anime convention today

Honestly disappointed at the hype around the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition. The platform has been actively hindering players and developers for more than a year now, all feedback is actively ignored, the OS gets worse with each update. Is a limited edition really enough to forgive all of that?

Totally planned meneuver 😏 Fast Fusion is pretty good, and this is just the slowest speed class!

So I’ve been working on multiplayer for Downtown Club in the last couple of weeks, and having quite the fun. Very smooth sailing so far and, as expected, several orders of magnitude easier than writing opponents AI. Gamedev is weird.

Fulcrum Defender goes hard, I can confirm! This Season 2 started with a bang... 👀

Just made this, a tall stand for Quest 2 and Quest 3 to easily debug the headset without having to wear it every time! Enjoy: www.thingiverse.com/thing:7049705 #metaquest #vr

"ugh i don't feel like coding that rn so it's not in the design anymore" has been the single most vibrant and productive design prompt across my 13+ pico8 games from the last 8ish months

OMG new Tamagotchi announced! Back to physical connection and AAA batteries. 🥹 tamagotchi-official.com/gb/series/pa...

We're quiet but we're hard at work! 🛠️ Multiplayer is being worked on actively, and don't forget the three JDM cars. More news on all of that later on! #metaquest #picoxr #vr

im too castlevania brained i thought for a good minute he was doing some kind of Belmont crouch walk and the coffee was a whip

Big step for the tiny yellow console that could!

“There is no 90$ game on Switch 2” is a depressingly funny counter-argument to me, because in Europe, Mario Kart World is 90€ and that converts to 102$ as of today. So yeah, there is no 90$ game on Switch 2… In the US.

#pixelart #LookOutside I was responsible for detailing the interior of Hellcar in Look Outside! Definitely one of my favorite pieces so far!

10k units sold is enough to declare failure for a medium sized studio, but enough for an indie to keep working on the game for much longer. Going indie is hard, but when it works it’s so rewarding. Thanks everyone!

Scared of ghosts? 👻 You better be, some of you drive scarily fast! Select any player in the Time Attack leaderboards to race against their ghost. Out now on Quest and coming soon to Pico! #vr #metaquest #picoxr

Hey! We're developing Super Agent, a 3D platformer game that features special levels, such as piloting a helicopter or snowboarding. Coming soon to @play.date

Just posted something on Thingiverse! This is a case for the Pixel Crystal lens, inspired by old Macintosh computers. More details inside: www.thingiverse.com/thing:7009842

A quick little note on how Playdate Catalog has done in the last two years: we're happy and proud to say we've paid out $1,043,186.85 to our amazing game developers. It delights and inspires us whenever we see someone make their first game for Playdate 💛

It’s taking more time than I’d wish for but we are getting there. Indie dev is punishing at times.

Pretty proud of this update. 14 languages is a lot! 🔥

Very excited to have this many human made translation in my game, and hopefully adding some more later- at least two so the interface is balanced!!

Localization work for Downtown Club is finally well underway! We are about to completely support 13 languages thanks to native speakers, with a few more possibly coming later on. Stay tuned! 🌐

Remember pulling out your Nintendo DS on the bus and messaging your friends over PictoChat? To bring that feeling back, I made "PicoChat" for iMessage! It's free and open-source (of course), so give it a try and let me know what you think! apps.apple.com/us/app/picoc...

Very proud of the reviews my game is getting. ❤️

My wallet is already complaining.......

my default answer to "how is game dev going"

Undoubtedly, the signature PlayDate game, now better than ever. Always a hit with everyone I let it try!

Oh my god the Princess is so cute in there! 🥹

Thinking back at when MakeHuman limited the editor camera to orthographic. I asked on the forum to have projection back, and a developer tried to articulatedly gaslight me into thinking that projection is bad, I was wrong, and ortho was the only viable way. Haven’t used the software ever since.

I think I've already mentioned it, but here it goes again- developing this update has been the most complex thing I ever worked on in my gamedev career. I've spent the most time ever on a single feature- opponent behavior. There's still room for improvement, but it's much better than before.

Protoclone, not the future that I envisioned. #pixelart

My replacement PlayDate is here and it’s time to grind those Trackminia leaderboards!

📢 Downtown Club 1.1.0 "Core Update" will be available later this week! This version will bring tons of improvements to the core experience. And if you already own the game, you will unlock this special suit once it updates!

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal
