Here's a quick peek at the games released on itch.io this week. Only tagged games are counted, so actual numbers may be higher. #Godot games saw strong numbers, trailing Unity. Ren’Py, Construct, and GameMaker had steady releases. #gamedev #indiedev

A little peek at what I've been working on most recently. What kinda movie does this sound like to you? 🤔

If you haven't already heard my latest EP, "School of Thought," you can find it on all streaming platforms and Bandcamp: hypeddit.com/zza91m More new music coming early next year!

Flash Forward 2025 has arrived! It's time to make new Flash games and interactive movies, with prizes for the best ones. www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/15...

In gamedev, we joke about how we shouldn't care so much because "we ain't curing cancer" so chill, right? But you know what? These last few weeks reminded me that the Arts, esp accessible Art like videogames is incredibly important because games have a big place in sculpting cultural norms.

Hello hello! We're AbleToPlay, a new way to find accessible games. With help from the World Institute on Disability, award winning game devs, and disability advocates, we're building a super inclusive way to find games that fit *your* needs. We hope you find a new favorite game! www.abletoplay.com

idk who needs to hear this but we need to stay strong. we need to uplift each other and support each other as much as possible right now. a couple notes: DO NOT TALK ABOUT DIY HRT ONLINE! we cannot give extremists the knowledge. Use the hotline if you're in dire need.

We are live over on Twitch.tv/remapradio raising money for Anera! savepoint.stream to donate

For nearly a year, I've been working on a secret project aimed at helping gamers with disabilities, and now we're ready for more alpha testers! ✨ Want to help do some science and make the games industry more inclusive? Comment or DM me to test our secret project! ⚡ Plz repost for reach!

Dropped by the Frank and Son Collectible Show in the City of Industry. It had a similar vibe to DesignerCon but focused solely on collectible vendors. Here are some pics of things that caught my eye. #vinyltoys #convention
