New build=lots of testing @quirkimon.bsky.social #gamedev #indiegame #TCG

bit of a play here #indiegame #gaming #tcg

Decided to write about the snobbery in gaming and why it can be harmful. Have a read and please subscribe! I game, you game, we all game. #gaming #indiegames #substack open.substack.com/pub/quirkyst...

Sneak peek at one of @sarahquirkystudios.bsky.social's fav characters - Catfee. Caution......hot. #indiegame #gaming #gamedevelopment #tcgs

Another character drop. The "Moose Boot" Heck, this is freaking cool, but we need a name. 🤣🥾 #gaming #indiegame #indiedev #sundaywork

New character drop: Chicken + Cake. Name’s still baking, but it’s a defender card—because if you’ve ever met chickens, you know they defend their turf like pros. I should know - I have 4 chickens who basically own me. #indiegame #gaming #gamers #chickens #quirkimon

We see #Web3 as another tool in the gamer’s arsenal. Like in-game currency, it can be used for good or bad—it depends on how it’s handled. For us, Web3 is about exploring ways to give #gamers more control & enhance their experience. #indiegame #gaming quirkystudios.substack.com/p/crypto-isn...

Hope everyone had a great holiday if you celebrated. We spent time perfecting some of our characters. Meet Coffee Rat - in game name tbd. I thought naming kids was bad enough, trying to name over 200 characters = help us. #indiegame #gamingcharacters #gaming #coffeerat

I think we all know this one. "Game development isn’t just about making games—it’s about managing people, processes, & the constant battle to stay sane." quirkystudios.substack.com/p/the-real-c... #indiegame #gaming #gamedev #needcoffee #weneedtomarketittoo 👀 #omgwhothoughttherewassomuchtodo

It's coming along. The screaming you can hear is @sarahquirkystudios.bsky.social in the background (j/k). She does it every time. #indiegame #tcg #indiedevs #gaming #indiesrule

We lucked out with our artist. Now we have the "hard" part - naming characters. This has to be my fav. A whoopie cushion chicken. #indiegame #artistsrock #imgladwehavehim #gamingcharacters #indiegamedev #gamers #tcg #chickens

In a world obsessed with instant gratification, making an indie game on a shoestring budget is a special kind of rebellion, fueled by questionable sanity. quirkystudios.substack.com/p/the-long-g... #IndieGame #gaming #substack #indiegamedevs #marketing #coffeeneeded

It’s time we rethink who games are for and challenge ageism in gaming. Have a gander at our blog and please subscribe. quirkystudios.substack.com/p/the-curiou... #gaming #gamer #indiegame #substack #ageism #aarp

Just look at this. It's the only time I like beige. For sale an hour away from me. It's working & has 2 floppy disks. Sighhhhhhhhhhhhh. I want a room of retro computers & a garage of 80s cars. 1980 TRS-80 Model III, Radio Shack #retrocomputers #80s #epicfind #radioshack #vintagetech

1. Been pondering about gaming communities & why we feel so at home on @bsky.app Think about it - gaming communities thrived on shared experiences, problem-solving, & teamwork. They weren’t just about shouting opinions or chasing likes—they were about genuine connection. #gaming #indiegames

Yeppers.

I love Milanote. It helps my crazy brain make sense of all the random thoughts I have going on. It's a really, really awesome tool, and you can get it free, so it's awesome for folks on a budget (or no budget)! #milanote #gamedev #gaming #freetools #indiegamedevs

Adapting Narrative Design Patterns for Tabletop Adventure Writing - AKA The One With The Flowcharts If you're interested in how I structure quests, adventures, decisions, etc. for tabletop design, this blog post is for you! There's even an activity at the end you can do & post in the comments :)

This is a hard conversation to have in #gaming but it needs to happen. I've heard women say they cannot be streamers because they feel they are not attractive enough. This ain't right. Let's fix this. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/vide...

We like couches & we like gaming (also love snacks but Rhys didn't mention snacks). In fact 2 of the family are sat down right now playing #Roblox together on the couch. We want families playing our game together, & to get rid of the old fashioned narratives surrounding gaming. #gamedevs #indiegame

I lied. Well, as my mum would say, fibbed. Gonna sleep now. Spreadsheet done x 5. 51 characters put together. Worked on art list for the artist (sorry C). No doubt I'll dream about weird creatures jumping through portals tonight. #devlife #tcgs #isitSaturdayYet #NotthatitmattersasIwillbeworking

Current mood Will I sleep tonight? Mehhhh. Who needs sleep when you've got a game to get going. #gamedev #gaming #letsgofolks #tcgs

Who knew there would be so many spreadsheets involved in game creation. Help me. Help. #devlife #gaming #tcgs #gamedevs

Don't know why they tagged us. 👀

Ears are burning over here.
