"How do you have time to make indie games?" "There is no other option. I also don't sleep"

"It just felt like we had come full circle" – Nightdive Studios' Stephen Kick on System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster, game preservation, the KEX Engine, Switch 2 mouse controls, DOOM RPG, No One Lives Forever, Blood II, Deftones, coffee, and more: www.rpgsite.net/interview/17...

Here we go a third time

Emet-Selch was one of the characters I was especially proud to work on for the set. One of the greatest «villains » with a fantastic character building. So I paid a lot of attention to his pose and expression here. #MTG #MTGxFinalFantasy #FFXIV

When you’re mad at me, this is who you’re mad at - if you even care

See you later this week at #PAXEast. 😎

I also found 2 MORE awesome looking indies at LVL UP EXPO: Paloo Spiral by @whimindie.com Combo Devils by @combodevils.bsky.social

In response to the Polygon and Giant Bomb news, I created an indie and worker-owned games media starter pack. I’ll keep adding to it, so suggestions and recommendations are greatly appreciated. Please share!

This is the first time a game I've produced has been available through a major retailer. Exciting!

Glad to have you aboard! @swandrawn.bsky.social designed the backgrounds and buildings you see in Delivery Issues! She's a very talented pixel artist and does conventions across the US - be sure to follow her! FYI - You might see some hidden swans around in the game
