ION LANDS has been suspiciously quiet about Nivalis...long enough that I started bracing for vaporware. 😨 Turns out it was a legal naming dispute. Nivalis is now Nivalis Nights ( @nivalisgame.com ) and it still looks incredible. 😭 #IndieGame #Cyberpunk #NivalisNights

In case you missed the @wholesomegames.com Wholesome Direct stream. @sarahpodz.bsky.social, @blibloop.bsky.social, and @spryfox.bsky.social oh my! (The Milki Delivery demo is legit, y'all!) (That art is all @saffronaurora.bsky.social , though, check her out.) #cozygames #indiegame #gamediscovery

Trader Joe's got me again, y'all. Everyone say hi to Wilma. 🌿 #Monstera #PlantParent

Spirit City: Lofi Sessions is a productivity app disguised as a cozy game, and I mean that as the highest compliment! When I'm too dysregulated to "work", I can just... redecorate. And somehow that's enough to get me back. 🎮✨ The Dev: @spiritcitylofi.bsky.social #IndieGame #CozyGames #SpiritCity

This is happening RIGHT NOW! 🎉

Goood afternoon, everyone! Here's the situation: I can only spend $25, and SIX games are in contest. 👀 I'm doing intense research and replaying demos to decide. The candidates: Fishbowl, Blueberry, Let's Cafe, My Little Cafe Nightmare, Mini-Settlers, and Final Sentence. All on sale. It's intense! 😅

Episode 5 of Scarlet Hollow drops in February. I get a new job as a sushi chef in Charlotte that starts March 1st. I move to North Carolina. Coincidence? Or the hollow calling me home? Check out this gem from @blacktabbygames.com ! #ScarletHollow #IndieGemCard #VisualNovel #CozyHorror #IndieGames

Today’s Indie Gem Card goes to Aethermancer -- a monster-taming roguelite from moi rai games. Early Access on Steam, with 3v3 turn-based battles, reborn monsters, and a lot of “one more run” energy. #Aethermancer #IndieGame #MonsterTaming #Roguelite #TurnBased #Steam #GameDiscovery #IndieGemCard

Games aren’t an escape from life so much as a rehearsal for how we wish life felt. Sharing this piece on Jane McGonigal’s Reality Is Broken and how games can make us better and more connected: www.themarginalian.org/2011/01/20/p... #VideoGames #Booksky For more join the club: tmuec.bsky.social

I’ve been quietly renovating the Discord: fewer cobwebs, more comfy corners. Think rainy-day lounge for offbeat/indie gamers, stream updates, and Essay Club meeting notes (once we're back in session). If you’d like a seat on the couch, join here: discord.gg/kCWHK4F4 #Discord #CozyGaming #IndieGame

Can't wait for the most important award show this year.

Good morning. Bleary-eyed, with my 'comfort show' still playing from the night before, I'm up. And writing. Actually writing. #5amwritingclub #writingcommunity

🎨 Launch Day Hype for Constance, y'all. Check out this hand-drawn Metroidvania where you play a paintbrush-wielding artist fighting through a decaying inner world built from burnout and stress. store.steampowered.com/app/2313700/... #Constance #IndieGame #Metroidvania #Cozygaming

The Berlin Apartment is the most beautiful story-driven game I've played recently with a glimpse into the rich, but in many ways, painful and complicated past of Germany over the last century. I cannot recommend it enough. Thank you @bluebackpack.bsky.social for this beautiful game and experience.

Good morning, y'all. Got a fun rec for everyone, check it out. It seeks to subvert the farming sim genre. Looks interesting. Delphinium: Bittersweet cozy, farming & story by Sev @cinnadev.bsky.social #indiedevs #indiegames #cozygaming #kickstarter

From @travisbaldree.bsky.social comes Brigands & Breadknives ☕🗡️ The third entry in the Legends & Lattes series snuck right past me. It released YESTERDAY?! Guess Rue Valley had me in a chokehold. 😭 #FantasyBooks #NewRelease #BookCommunity #CozyReads

Good morning, Bluesky! Last night's stream was so much fun. Thank you to everyone who came by the channel to check out Rue Valley with us. But now--let's get writing. #5amwritersclub #amwriting

Strange town. Everyone’s got something they’re hiding (especially you). 🔴Live Now: Launch Day Hype for Rue Valley! Let’s see how hard the demo hits. Am I gonna' plop down coinage for the full game on launchday? 👀 Find out. twitch.tv/beast2plate #HiddenGem #CozyHorror #GameDiscovery #Streamer

'Rue Valley' dropped TODAY, and I'm streaming the demo later. 💭It's a story about the shadows in our heads and the strange comfort of meeting others who have their own. Let's find out if it's worth buying at launch--together! twitch.tv/beast2plate #RueValley #IndieGames #SmallStreamer #StoryRich

Ahhh! #stardewvalley #cozygames #gamemusic #FestivalofSeasons #vgm #ATL

GUESS WHAT?! I'm at the Stardew Valley concert at the Fox Theater in ATL. 🥰 You guys, I'm so excited. I promise to post about it!

I bought the WRONG PENS! 🤬 They're .5s instead of 1.0s. Pleeeeeease tell me I'm not the only one who needs certain pens to operate smoothly in life. 😭 (Pilot G-2s, if anyone is curious.) #WritingTools #PenAddict #Stationery #ADHDlife

IT IS TIME! 😻 Replicat launches on November 18! Thanks to everyone supporting, wishlisting, and spreading the word. Can't wait for you all to flip cards, build combos, and score billions of points. Get your paws ready! 🐾 s.team/a/3509430/ #roguelike #deckbuilder #solodev #indiedev #cats #gamedev

Refined the time-rewind effects. They express subtle unease when something feels off, and the release as supernatural power awakens. With light and distortion, I aimed to show reality unraveling. Visualizing abstract emotions is never easy. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame

Good Morning, Everyone! 💕

I’m starting my first indie game! It’s a small murder/mystery dating sim with cozy autumn vibes 🍂 
I’m handling art, writing, and design, all on my own.
 I’ll share my progress along the way. 👀” #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #DatingSim #MysteryGame #cozygames

Streaming later today! Planning to poke at some new demos first, then finish our run of No, I'm Not a Human, and start Order 13. Cozy-horror is our vibe (as per usual) and we're sticking with it to finish out Fright Fest on Twitch. 😘 #smallstreamer #indiegames

Happy Halloween, Everyone! I'm planning on streaming later in the Fright Fest category to play some scary games, but-- IT'S ALSO MINE AND MY PARTNER'S ANNIVERSARY! ❤️👻💕🎃 Best day, amirite? 🥰

On my way to joining the #5amwritersclub . Got up at 6am today, so we're inching closer.

Don't bend, don't water it down, don't try to make it logical, don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly. Franz Kafka #5amwritersclub #WritingCommunity

My therapist & I pinned down three of my core values: Intuition, Risk-taking, and Dedication. Now I’m trying to figure out what that looks like in practice.. Maybe writing again, maybe just listening better? To myself? If you had to name your top three, what would they be? #therapy #selfdiscovery
