We've had a bit of a whirlwind week since we announced Forbidden Solitaire. First we reached over 7000 wishlists in 48 hours, then over 9000 a couple of days later. People loved the trailer by @slicknicklives.bsky.social and we got some press too! Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3414580/...

Years before Rockstar's Bully, in Italy, we had Tabboz Simulator. A free game released in 1997, it was a simple Tamagotchi-like "white trash" simulator where you could fight metalheads (and get beat up), find a girlfriend, modify your scooter, and especially buy loads of furry clothes.

At a c++ standards roundtable tonight. C++ contracts offer an interesting way of building in correctness to our programs. Will be interesting to try out. As a #gamedev, and #gameengine dev in particular, I am wondering about possible impacts on performance. #cpp #cpp26 #meetup

Yesterday I found a video of mistakes to avoid while publishing your Game. One of them was to not make the Steam page too early as Steam boosts new pages automatically, so if it's too raw you loose that free push. Is that true? #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #steam

We who are self publishing our games need to put all our important updates in one place. I'm trying to make that place here: bsky.app/profile/did:... Let me know if you want to be added to the list that powers that feed, and you can use #majorupdate to add your updates and others. #indiegamedev

All indie devs want for Christmas is Steam reviews 🎵😄🙏

If you have gotten one of my Unity assets, would you mind writing a review for it? That would be a great present! 🙏🏻 I hate to ask, but the only way to have any chance to do anything on a storefront is through reviews.

Today is an excellent day to be reminded how important @itch.io is and how lucky we are a platform like this exists, where creators (rather than customers) come first. Share an itch.io project you like! Make a purchase!

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

The blood on our Controllers - The Complicity of the Game Industry in the Palestinian Genocide Is OUT!! youtu.be/g7488to6Jpc?...

submitted 93 days ago • 31 comments

I was asked to be a interviewee for "The Blood on our Controllers", a documentary about Palestine & their dehumanization in games by @hippolyte.bsky.social. It's out now. There are parts where I don't quite keep it together, and it is hard to watch myself struggle. Proud to have spoken up, though.

And with that, the first #dkgame starter pack is full. Make sure and go have a look at the new people, and subscribe to list feed that goes with it. I'm honestly not quite sure where to go from here. Do I just start #dkgame number 2? Or do I stick to the list from here on? go.bsky.app/4xD9wEy
