bringing back #routeoftheday, what should we #namethisroute? (this clip took us about 20 minutes to hit...) #discone #rotd #jump #platformer #climbing #cute #folk #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

Our Queen Crumbles has returned from the grave! A remastered physical edition of my funeral-fantasy road trip RPG is now available on BackerKit. Search for your Queen's killer, and find revenge or closure at the Tree Under the Mountain. @nessundovelab.bsky.social www.backerkit.com/c/projects/n...

Ayy Mr Magpie gets the Silver Medal from @itch.io for the month of March! Second only to @adamatomic.bsky.social's wonderful Prince of Prussia, which is also great and you should play it. youtu.be/Yfl-3F9jIvY?...

The fact that the world getting worse made our game a stronger creative statement is cool, but also—rough as hell! We didn’t want it like this!!! (that said I hear this CRDM3 game is both funny and incredibly on sale right now) store.steampowered.com/app/2116510/...

The 'Crips for eSims for Gaza Bundle' is now live! Over 200 videogames, TTRPGs, zines, books, soundtracks, and asset packs for just $16 USD - the current base price for a 3GB eSim. itch.io/b/2965/crips... (You'll find Quite Contrary and A Train Ride Home in the bundle as well!)

🎣 Pilkki is my most impressive indie game - and also my biggest failure. Started as a game jam win, over-scoped into a claymation puzzle adventure, and finally cancelled. But it’s playable now on itch. And I learned so much from it. Link in thread! #GameDev #IndieDev #Unity3D

Freeplay Angles 2025 - Coming this Winter Talk submissions now open: forms.gle/U5jQ2RRnTPxb... Info @ freeplay.net.au

I made a website. It's called "one million chessboards." It has a million chessboards on it. moving a piece moves it for everyone, instantly. No turns. You can move between boards. that's it. Have fun! onemillionchessboards.com

The third #fatoryresetjam finished up last night! The first entry was by @cliftonb.bsky.social, a really cool use of the reactive layout in Google Keep! It's so open to modifications that building the board feels as much fun as playing it with a partner 🧚 cliftonb.itch.io/fairies-of-m...

Submitted my #factoryresetjam entry! Kind of a weird and quick one but it was fun to come up with 👁️ jwest.itch.io/aye

Last time I repost I promise - ⌛ 24 HOURS LEFT! ⌛

Hey! I've managed to release my newest project, The Olisinpa Split, and you can purchase it right now! The project consists of two poem-games: A side - Burn the Scrapman. B side - I'm not Stanley Parable. Consider ordering a copy here: olisinpa.com/003 this one's for the in small dependent art.

😌

Get that cheese! And spread the word with fellow devs that might require some cheese to make a brief game.

‼️ ~3 days left ‼️ I'm only *just* settling on an idea for my own submission, still plenty of time!

first news article about The End of Gameplay! and "kill gameplay" is in the title!!! let's kill it also the comments are very funny to me, good mix of suspicious haters &... droqen defenders? ty @quasiotter.bsky.social <3 www.rockpapershotgun.com/starseed-pil...

7 am rest stops kind of slap

Periodic reminder. You're worth love, regardless of how much work you do. Rest is productive and the exhaustion you feel isn't your fault. This is a worldful world full of brilliant people, yourself included! Treat yourself with the kindness and love you share with others. 💕

Come play my silly phone game tn!!!

ALT: GAMES - a curators recap 💖 Games are special, important and change how we engage with stories and each other. This festival was just a way to highlight that and the community. Thank you to everyone involved who made this happen, you made it a success and for many a home.

We are half way-ish through the #factoryresetjam !

icecream got some accessories recently for a birthday party. now she can play tag, or "who has the glasses", with her selves. #jump #platformer #screenshotsaturday #videogame #cute

We've implemented music and it feels like a whole new game. Check it out for yourself! store.steampowered.com/app/3172760/... #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #catfishgame #wideopensky

Amazing to finally get to see the Experimental Gameplay Workshop - what an incredible and inspiring set of creations! Huge thanks to @ellaguro.bsky.social for giving me such a lovely intro! Such an honour to get to show the Magic Box as part of this 😊 gdcvault.com/play/1035151...

The 2025 Experimental Games Showcase (which I was a part of!!) is free to view to the public on the GDC Vault ❤️ gdcvault.com/play/1035151...

I've started tinkering with my "2-Player Plundercore Photography Prototype 4 Paradise" again, (2PPPP4P for short) and uploaded a new build this morning! It's still pretty slipshod but I've been having fun building it and playing it 📸

lushfoil photography sim, now available to download on Steam, EGS, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. I can't wait to see the photos you take.

Made some updates to my Make-10-like for our recent @boshis.place 2nd birthday. Combines make 10 and match 3 all in one!

So happy to join the list of actors available at Big Mouth Voices! This international network opens up many new possibilities, and I'm excited to do more work beyond the US. My profile is still a bit of a work in progress, but please check it out! www.bigmouthvoices.com/en-US/voices...
