Got a lil' bit fed up with myself for how much of my output lately has been fanart, wanted to try making something that was ENTIRELY me for a change. Hope everyone enjoys my new son as much as I do 🌱💙

Is there like a guild or co-op or something for indie game studios where they can join up to work on work for hire contracts that pay out to all of the member studios so that there is continual work while each studio can work on their own games at the same time? Is that a thing?

Have we mentioned we like Lumines?

oopsie I forgot to #PitchYaGame We're making a roguelike block-stacking game that's also a first-person shooter. Every block you kill is wiped off the game board and every line clear triggers huge abilities It's like tetrіs and doom had a lovechild & you have to raise it 👶 Demo: s.team/a/2776770

October is National Co-op Month AND 2025 is the UN "International Year of Cooperatives"! Since Wraith Games is a worker co-op, we figured the best way to celebrate would be to share some info about co-ops and why they're rad! Ya'll ready for a thread?
