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

Here's a swipe action in play! #indiegame #gamedev #catfee from @quirkimon.bsky.social

bit of a play here #indiegame #gaming #tcg

Well, that was quick 👀 #tiktokban looks to be over.

Sneak peek: Our devs have been hard at work, and the new 'Secret Sauce' ability is finally here. Subtle, strategic, and game-changing. Stay tuned for more gameplay updates. #gaming #indiegames #tcg

How long will it be down? My kid doesn't know what to do with herself. #tiktokban #tiktok #teenagertorment

Nothing better than writing game studio documents on a Sunday when I could be watching a really bad sci fi movie and eating. Said no-one ever. #indiegame #gaming #sundaythoughts #indiedev #marketing #CanIBeaSloth

Although this one was an easy one to name - Duckox. It's a cool 'un. #80s #indiegame #gaming #tcgs

Spell cards are so much easier to name than our character cards. Jus' saying. #indiegame #gaming #gamedev

Oooooooo 👀

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...

Cats for the win. Always. Can't believe it's "uncommon" - I think cats should always be unusual 😉 #catfee #indiegame #gaming #tcgs #development #marketing #cats

Hahahahaha. It's even got Fishlight (another character) hanging from the hat. This is a cool one. #indiegame #retrogaming #tcgs #gaming #gamedevs #gameart #quirkimon

Lots of thoughts today. 1/ Gaming should be fair—for players, indie studios, and everyone in between. We’re a small team driven by the idea that #gaming can empower, not exploit. It’s time to rethink how games treat players and creators. Let’s make fairness the new norm. #gamers #indiegame

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...

I'm working on a blog post about elitism in gaming & bringing a perspective some of you might relate to. I grew up as an 'OG' gamer with a ZX Spectrum but now, I’m also a mum to gamers. Gaming has evolved, but one question still lingers: Are you even a real gamer? 🕹️ #gaming #indiegames #OGgamer

I keep staring at a spreadsheet and I swear I'm slowly going insane. I think I need a break. No-one sees this part of it all when they buy a game😆 #indiegame #gaming

Might have accidentally binge watched Reginald the Vampire and Squid Games over the past two days. No idea how that happened. 👀

One of our colleagues came up with a cool name - Ratpacino - it gives cool actor vibes. 😆 #alpacino #actors #characternaming #indiegames #gaming

Thoughts about gaming, being a parent to gamers, & where we see that so called "nasty" #web3 fitting into our #TCG. The conversation needs to be had, esp after paying a mortgage in Robux. Please have a read, subscribe & share. #indiegame #gaming #roblox open.substack.com/pub/quirkyst...

Note to self. Finish this game before you start thinking about the next one. 👀 #gaming #indiegame #help #squirrel

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

🔥(as my teen would say) #indiegame #tcg

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 been that type of week. #howmanytabsopen #yesthatmany #thisismybrain #gamedevelopment #marketing #gamedev #gaming #helpme #indiegame

I do like a good old survival guide. Cheers 🕹️ #gaming #indiegame #gamedevelopment #steam #indiedevelopers #gamedeveloper www.gamedeveloper.com/production/s...

The latest Quirkimon build is here, & things are starting to feel more tangible with every update. We’ve decided to add #Web3 to our toolbox for the #TCG. It feels like a natural progression that opens up new possibilities for gameplay & community. #gaming #indiegames #sleepwillbeniceoneday

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

Having an interesting chat with my 10-year-old about lore while waiting for DOOM Eternal to download. He insists he doesn’t have lore. Enter the 13-year-old: "Sure you do—remember when you fell on the playground in the UK & put a hole in your cheek & ended up at the hospital. #lore #doom #kidtales

Whelp. Might as well work until the memory card gets here. Back on the #Switch and tried to play #Doom. #notenoughspace #memory #nintendo #console #gaming

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
