Only thing you need to know about this. "The ESA has confirmed iicon will allow audience members on an invite-only basis." Welcome to the echo chamber.

Had high hopes for an aurora sighting to kick off Arctic Game Dev but no dice. Got the rest of the week though!

Leaving soon to fly out to Sweden for Arctic Game Dev. Preflight anxiety engaged!

We're doing our thing today over at the @indiegamebusiness.bsky.social YouTube channel! #gamedev ##indiedev #gamedevelopment

Thanksgiving tradition. #lego #wintervillage

Just so we're all clear: moving away from Unity is a HUGE cost for small devs. Learning new systems for alternatives is an immediate, *massive* problem. Your "scoff, why would anyone even use Unity any more?" hot take is not particularly grounded in practicality, I'm afraid.

Red flag to end all red flags.

Current mood.

After two months I FINALLY cleared the 8th ante in #balatro

I'm SOOO looking forward to this game!

Great chat last week with Michael Yum at @pmstudios.bsky.social on why indie teams need to pay more attention to doing physical releases for their games. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #videogame #gameindustry indiegamebusiness.com/physical-gam...

Just got the newsletter from @superjoost.bsky.social. Bleak news. "According to the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), which analyzed the impact on various consumer electronic categories, video game consoles would become 40% more expensive for US consumers." #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

I'm not a boxing fan. I don't remember the last time I saw a boxing match. I'll tell you what I am a fan of though... One of the Paul brothers getting punched in the face by Mike Tyson. So yes, I'm watching this.

We're live right now with Michael Yum from PM Studios. We're discussing why physical distribution matters for indie teams right now and his journey from QA to CEO! #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #videogames www.youtube.com/live/QKzCpAx...

This article by @rbryantfrancis.bsky.social outlines a horrifically low bar for mentoring the next generation of our industry's leaders. I do more for the people and teams I personally mentor than The Game Awards does. And @indiegamebusiness.bsky.social isn't backed by millions of corporate funding!

The pitch deck reviews that I mentioned earlier this week are happening today at 2:00 EST. It is only available on our Discord and these weekly reviews are not recorded. #indiegame #gamedev #PitchDeck #IndieDev #Discord #videogame

This is the first of our new series of focused one day events. Live talks with Q&A all day. Completely free to attend and participate in, grab a free ticket if you would like to receive all the presentations at the conclusion of the event. #indiegame #gamedev #indiegame #videogames

Again, if you're a games publisher/investor scout (or do scout work for relevant funding sources), let me know. Retweets appreciated! bsky.app/profile/did:...

I just kicked my WoW habit... again. Now this. www.gamespot.com/articles/aft...

Looking for a publisher? Did you know that @indiegamebusiness.bsky.social releases a full publisher and investor list every year? The 2025 one is coming soon but you can still get the 2024 list. Just hit the link! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #videogames indiegamebusiness.com/publisher-li...

Gamedevs! If you're looking for tips or guidance on building your #pitchdecks we do weekly pitch deck reviews on the @indiegamebusiness.bsky.social Discord. We also have a few recorded ones we do on YouTube. #gamedev #indiegame ##videogames #pitching www.youtube.com/live/IVb4JEC...

If you are an investment or publishing scout in the games industry, and you are active here - please make yourself known in the comments so I can make this fucking list so folks have an easier way to find and follow you all. reskeet at your own pace, citizens
