For this month's Kritiqal Care I had a nice discussion with @shimmerglitch.bsky.social about her recent interactive concept album Asterism. We discuss writing music for play, how making the game from physical objects impacted its design, and the value of a good dev log. kritiqal.com/articles/kri...

Had a fun time talking about my favourite album :)

So one of the things that I think is lost on AI proponents is what I call the card catalog effect, a thing I shouldn’t call it because a lot of people probably have no experience with a card catalog.

if i have to make another new social media account you all have to read my lost rat poster

In a 20 minute talk is it ok to have over 3 minutes dedicated to a scene-by-scene analysis of the music video for A-Ha's Take On Me lol

10 years ago this week, I started work on Tunic. The game wouldn't have been the success it was without LGBTQ+ folks, both devs and players. So, I'm matching donations to Trans Lifeline. If you can spare $5 (or more!) reply with your donation and I'll X2 it. Thank you! 💕 give.translifeline.org

HELLO! I'm opening slots for guitar lessons and guitar guest recordings! Here is a little reel I put together with some of my works :3 Feel free to DM or send me an email if you're interested! 🩵 [email protected] #guitar #gameaudio #composer #indiegame #gamemusic

I put some info from a website into zine form so you can print them and have fun. It's all happening on www.littlemouse.fun

I'm trying to write some coldwave-inspired music. What are your favourite coldwave songs

We love Shutterbug! As do our visitors! 🙌 Be sure to check out this brilliantly fun, bug photography game! 🐞📸 We recently chatted with the games developers @vividfax.bsky.social, @doodledemmy.bsky.social and Dan Pugsley about the game and its development ⬇ thenvm.org/blog/shutter...

Enjoyed playing and chatting about this a lot!

I asked indie devs to recommend their favourite 'no code' tools for game development for this Creative Bloq feature. Hopefully it will be useful for anyone who's thinking about making a game but has no idea where to start! www.creativebloq.com/3d/video-gam...

My new game + album Asterism is out now! I made a behind the scenes of my handcrafted art to celebrate! 🚀 Please share around! If you play, a steam review would be super appreciated :D It's very hard to get seen as a small indie game and reviews do help! store.steampowered.com/app/2187450/Asterism

"Fair fa yer honest sonsie face... No not you haggis! JUDERO!" Celebrate Burn's Night with a hot toddy and Judero, your favourite stop motion game from the Scottish borders. 👇 Link below 👇

Our new game MASHINA is live on KICKSTARTER. www.kickstarter.com/projects/637... It's a digging and mining game with cute stop-motion robots. We would love your support spreading it and supporting the campaign.

Thinking about the gentrification of the indie space in videogames and how increasingly hard it is becoming to try new concepts that aren't "already a thing".

I am enjoying everything about this

Oh, so lovely, I guess my Gamepass subscription is helping pay for testing AI-assisted genocide on children. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

We're headed to outer space and it ROCKS 🚀🎶 Join me on Twitch as I play #Asterism - a playable indie-rock concept album! bit.ly/MightyYellTw... #indiegame #Twitch @shimmerglitch.bsky.social
