"Forbidden Solitaire is easily one of the best indie card games I've played since Inscryption and The Discarded DLC feels like a spooky encore." God DAMN that's high praise. Thank you Tyler! 🥳🤘

qntm discusses revisiting the Antimemetics Division, the influence of programming on his fiction, hostile systems, scientific realism, information scarcity, and why imagining a genuinely good future may be more difficult than imagining the end of the world. Read the interview below!

Some haunted havoc from Rog & Roll 👻🎃 #screenshotsaturday #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame

<Me, ranting>: "tech bros got rich and forgot their roots, and have forgotten about the importance of kraft" <Discourse>: "right! They just use soulless AI with no sense of craft at all!" <Me, sliding the costco flat of Kraft Dinner that powers my every creation under the rug>: "yeah! That too!"

Feeling down about the AI focused re-launch of a certain game jam? fear not, I am putting together a week long gamejam celebrating Human Made creations, come join us and make some cool stuff in the Hand Crafted Jam. itch.io/jam/hand-cra... #GameDev #IndieDev

Just an irregular reminder that hey! I made a videogame about getting revenge on an unaccountable ruling class! It's pretty cool! Here's the trailer:

Go! My Creations! is DONE After a year of design and testing, my new RPG is out and available! All artwork is by the incredible @infinitebrians.neocities.org (check him out). My print order is in the works, and I'll be debuting the physical edition at MAGfest! greenintern.itch.io/go-my-creati...

I genuinely think those who love video games for what they are and are searching for *somewhere* to call a spade, a spade in this weird era of AI slop, should start looking to @aftermath.site. I'll put it as succinctly as this: giving a shit is a superpower, and they do.

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

I feel it's important to share this again. The internet is so hostile toward creators nowadays. I've seen people have their work stolen, and no longer feel comfortable sharing their creations. We can do better. Let's be supportive to the people that make this a better place! 💞

I know the dev of this one, and it is some kinda magic. There's comedic timing that's drawing straight from the golden age of animated cartoons.

Another great demo. A true sandbox platformer, which starts you in a literal sandbox. You've got tons of mobility in every direction, including driving straight up walls, and Scooby Doo air-scampering across gaps. Also you are a Puppy that is also a Truck. And about an inch tall.

Also wrapping the day up with an update to our Next Fest demo deluge. Now 20 games that I reckon you should try out!

A song in my adaptive music software typically have 70 multi-choice settings, and which configuration of those settings depends on exactly what's happening in the level A huge time saver is, I can copy the current game state, and paste it into the music software, and pick up the work from there

I just figured out why Steam Next Fest is recommending a ton of match-3 and puzzle combat games to me. Ever since I implemented Steam achievement support in Torment Hexus, my Steam client thinks that I am playing Torment Hexus whenever I launch the editor. Consequently, my playtime is, uh, high.

i think the games industry should have studios that exist

Queen of Treasure Isle is an *amazing* game. Lots of secrets to find, gorgeous pixel art and animation, fun puzzles and lateral thinking. If you liked La Mulana, you *need* to play this.

wait why is everyone talking about my private key?

Torment Hexus dares to ask the question: have you ever orchestrated a distributed denial-of-service attack against a zombie?

Steam Next fest has started! It seems quite difficult to get noticed in the crowd but I'm out here tryin' my best #indiedev #nextfest #steam

Okay, time for another indie #ShowCasey, Steam Next Fest edition! Do you have a demo in the Steam Next Fest? Would you like more people to see it? Reply to this post with a link to your game's store page, and a quick blurb about it. Only one rule, strictly no generative AI!

I've mentioned before I've updated my contracts to make sure everything in the production of my books is done by humans and not "AI"; if you're wondering what such a thing looks like, here's a clause covering that from a recent contract.

Today's critical bugfix: if you have the item that replaces all references to the CEO with "the asshole", it will now correctly add possessives, so you can get "the asshole's eyes flash" or "the asshole's mouth widens", et cetera.

I've never really been a math guy, I mean, I have to do a little math to make loots fly out of crushed monsters, yes, but it is not my forte. Not even my three-tay. That said, I'm pretty sure this dialog is incorrect.
