Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages #AI #GameDev #Gaming #PCGaming

I was looking at early transition photos yesterday, and it’s been fun watching my jaw change shape. Left is from 2021, almost a year into HRT, and right is from the other day. I can confidently say I’ve not regretted going down this road for a second. I only regret not doing it sooner.

I finally got around to putting together a Learn to Play video for BATTLE of TAROT. Video is 5 min, but breaks down the basics of how to play the tarot-based card battler for 2 players. Rulebook is free at battleoftarot(dot)com youtu.be/y-NmBXXOWVk?... #BATTLEofTAROT #Tarot #CardGames

New TAXINAUT version is up! It has a new feature called "mantras" that allows you to share discovered sites and planets with others. See mosgrom.itch.io/taxinaut/dev...

Your daily reminder that if your employer doesn't give you a raise to match inflation every year, they have instead given you a pay cut.

Go try the demo of Axyz, you will lose all concept of time and see your surroundings only in terms of "could I turn there?" for three hours. 10/10

yep, can report from 2025 that this problem is exponentially worse than it was even just a few years ago. I've just stopped replying to curator emails completely

I have a lot of indie devs following me, so I thought I'd give you a lil PSA If you're sending out keys to content creators? Please treat steam curators with utmost skepticism, there's a huge network of fake curators who are running a massive scam, so please double and triple check them.

A spooky good day to you all.

I've been doing this comics thing for a while, and with Bump in the Night open for pitches, I've written some articles for the Limit Break website to (a) make my job easier and (b) help other creators (especially those just starting out!) bsky.app/profile/limi...

. @bridainep.bsky.social is a PhD researcher & is working on the issue of cultural erasure in refusal to accept accents like the fada. If you've an #Irishlanguage name (particularly a fada), fill in this short survey aiming to understand people’s experiences with their names in different contexts.

Imirt were delighted to have been invited to Akumakon 2025 where a bunch of talented teams got to show off their games. Read all about the Irish games industries presence at one of the longest running anime and manga conventions in our latest news post! www.imirt.ie/news/2025/2/...

It's time to bring back that one comic I drew in 2019, now that the government have made it seem like a reasonable alternative to their "cabins in garden are exempt from planning permission" thing.

Fucking unionise! Enough of this shit.

Artist credits were always important... but now seem ever more important in the era of AI. If your project doesn't boldly list the artist(s) who worked on it, I get very skeptical. Credit your artists.

All in one glorious pic! These are the main playable characters in our upcoming GOTHIC horror co-op! 😱 Left to right, Laura, Fionn, Cat, Patrick & Orla. Their art, personalities & backgrounds brought to life by our Art Director @fredmangan.bsky.social & Lead Writer @lenhaunts.bsky.social #gamedev 🖤

if you'd like to support a small-time writer, my memoir is directly available from my publisher. things have changed since I've written it like my opinions on the #irishlanguage & my journey with adoption but it is IMO a decent insight into life as a person of colour growing up in #Ireland

Probably the Darkside Detective games, but if you're interesting in Irish games, there's a Steam Curator page for games from Ireland and also includes games that have Irish as a language, so that might be worth a look. store.steampowered.com/curator/4145...

We caught up with @lithiumproject.bsky.social from SpaceLion Studios to talk about Axyz, a game that pays homage to the cult classic Kula World (Roll Away) on PlayStation—with a vaporwave twist. ⚽ Full interview here 👇 www.feedme.design/interview-wi...

Our final playable character in our upcoming horror co-op is Orla (she/her), a firefighter. Stoic but warm, she's a natural leader. 🖤 #gamedev #horrorgame

Hey folks, it's been a week since I published my GOTY video, and I wanna give one last little push to get it in front of people's eyeballs, I worked very hard on this one so signal boosts are hugely appreciated, quoting the original post would be especially helpful. Thanks!

This might come across as more than a little blunt, but please bare with me. A lot of people completely dismiss or even hate indie games and what's being unsaid here is they want is something mainstream from major studios with advertising and popular enough that the zeitgeist allows them to play it.
