Indies will not save us until y'all start demanding Valve take a smaller cut of revenue from them. Because that 30% cut is responsible for more indie studios folding after their 1st game than anything else in this industry

AAA is fucked. AAAA is fucked. AA is fucked. Indie is fucked. It's all fucked. I've never seen more across-the-board devastation in this industry in the decade-and-a-half I've been here.

This games industry bloodbath is because of corporate mismanagement and pure, unrestrained avarice. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Almost 4100 Wishlists for CTHULOOT before the Neo Fest kick off. Not very confident knowing there will be 2500+ demos, but we'll see! If you also have your game in the fest, let me know in thread! #gamedev #indiedev

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

Accessibility is important, so I made a disclaimer to add to your games if need be.

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.

We're finalizing a "solo" mode for CTHULOOT for the incoming Steam Neo Fest, so everyone can enjoy our game 😊 I'm really happy with the result! (Inspired by Luigi's Mansion 3) #gamedev #indiedev #gamedev #coopgaming

Chris Zukowski published this chart in one of his recent blogs. It helped me really conceptualize how hard games are to get done. Our current model is small games, with deep gameplay loops -- and whacky mechanics. Make smaller games and MORE GAMES DEVS! #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev

So much for free speech. Let's make this cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social go viral. I'm married to @tealcartoons.bsky.social so I might be biased, but cartoons have long played a vital role in shaping political debate - both past and present. This type of censorship is deeply troubling.

It's just becoming impossible to support Unity if you want to make non-mobile games. Valve: No ads on Steam games. Unity: We're deeply integrating ads into the engine so you can maximize every shitty buzzword you ever heard. And AI too.

The Steam couch coop fest has been disappointing so far, as many games are not really "couch". You may help us by trying the demo or, of course, adding the game to your wishlist 💖 If you also have an incoming title in the fest, let me know how it's going for you! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

They’re trying to make trans people be the first domino piece and once we fall, all rights will be at risk. We need our allies’ support now more than ever. Trans people deserve safety. Trans people deserve dignity. Trans people deserve respect. Trans people deserve love. Trans people deserve joy.
