PRO TIP: The secret to #gamedev is to stop posting all the time on social media and actually developing your friggin' game.

I THINK one of the things we're really seeing is a continent, maybe industry-wide shift away from full-time employees and towards gig/codev work. And that transition looks like layoffs across the board even from studios that just had big successes.

Infinite Voyager comes out in three days on #steam, but these hotfixes are live now. Because "better starfighter UI" and "missiles that work" can't wait. Steam Link: bit.ly/InfiniteVoyager #topdown #scifi #space #piracy #shooter #EarlyAccess #GameDev #IndieDev #Indiegame #Gaming #noAI

I'm kinda tempted to update my resume to include "Not insane" and "Not a massive jerk" as marketable skills. Might as well add "Talks like a normal person" while I'm at it.

"This is such bad news, such a devastating historic event all I can say is that it's utter bullshit. Anyone who participated in this travesty should be ashamed."

Pretty much. It’s a lot of smacking your head against the wall and saying, “Oh shit how am I going to do this?” before coming up with a way to make it happen. And that second part’s where creativity really shines.

the idea phase is the easiest and least valuable part of professional creativity. read the first draft of the first Star Wars if you doubt me Great art is made in the grinding, often miserable collision between the ethereal substance of an idea and the mud and blood and friction of reality

Just updated the store page on #steam. Pretty happy with how it it turned out. (IT HAS GIFS) Steam Link: bit.ly/InfiniteVoyager #topdown #scifi #space #piracy #shooter #EarlyAccess #GameDev #IndieDev #Indiegame #Gaming #noAI

Reworking the store page to show off the game. Like the infinite open world for you to explore, colonize, and commit acts of space piracy in. #topdown #scifi #space #openworld #piracy #shooter #EarlyAccess #GameDev #IndieDev #Indiegame #Gaming #noAI

It would be lovely if the video games industry would let the people who make the games buy food

Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai warns AI could lead to unoriginal, unplayable games https://nintendoeverything.com/smash-bros-director-masahiro-sakurai-warns-ai-could-lead-to-unoriginal-unplayable-games/

Add “Fixed planet scouting rewards so they don’t mess up your inventory anymore,” to the list. Because that’s also fixed. #topdown #scifi #space #piracy #shooter #EarlyAccess #GameDev #IndieDev #Indiegame #Gaming #noAI

Infinite Voyager is my top-down space piracy game set in an infinite open world for you to explore (or commit acts of space piracy in) Coming to Steam on October 29, 2026 #EarlyAccess Link: bit.ly/InfiniteVoyager #topdown #scifi #space #piracy #shooter #GameDev #IndieDev #Indiegame #Gaming #noAI

Got a few more hotfixes for the game. These include: -The game will hate you correctly (for crimes) -Air combat is fixed, so you can invade planets -Not every planet is a desert or full of volcanoes #topdown #scifi #space #piracy #shooter #EarlyAccess #GameDev #IndieDev #Indiegame #Gaming #noAI

Masako Nozawa, Dragon Ball's Goku voice actor, has stated that AI users stealing her voice "lacks heart" and makes her "furious" after the Tokyo District Court passed one of Japan’s first major protections against AI. https://bit.ly/4830Iou

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

A few days ago, I said something like, "There won't be any more updates before the game launches." Yeah... that was wrong. Because I completely overhauled the space colonization mechanics. #topdown #scifi #space #piracy #shooter #EarlyAccess #GameDev #IndieDev #Indiegame #Gaming #noAI

Well, this fucking sucks. But I've survived worse. Only way is through.

Fixed the glitch where the game set every captured ship's HP to zero. That's it. Anyways, I'm gonna go mow the lawn. #topdown #scifi #space #piracy #shooter #EarlyAccess #GameDev #IndieDev #Indiegame #Gaming #noAI

Honestly, it's stuff like this that keeps me from going back to Twitter to promote my games. Does switching to Bluesky mean less reach (meaning fewer sales)? Probably. But I'll trade fewer sales if it means not dealing with the emptiness machine that is Twitter.

Yeah… probably not going to sell my games on EGS anytime soon.

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...

Quick update to fix some minor glitches for when you exit the game from the planet menu or the solar system. Testing's coming along well, and we're set for a late-October launch at the latest. #topdown #scifi #space #piracy #shooter #EarlyAccess #GameDev #IndieDev #Indiegame #Gaming #noAI

Funnily enough, I actually did write out an alternate history similar to this (2020 Taiwan vs. 1911 Japan, China, and Russia). The modern army won. Hard.

You should try actually going to this museum as I have, Nazi. Then you might actually understand the first thing about how societies live and thrive in equitable ways and not the dystopian horrorscape you're asking for. Go read or fix your heart.

Added a quick hotfix to remove some unfinished content.

Aspirational, honestly.

My dog Leia's not wearing a cone anymore, so I decided to stick a pumpkin on her head instead. #newprofilepic #indiedev #dog #gamedev

Infinite Voyager has some Quality of Life improvements: • Fixed loading screen • Re-balanced travel speed • Fixed map load glitch • Updated the save system so it doesn't take 3 minutes to save the game #topdown #scifi #space #piracy #shooter #EarlyAccess #GameDev #IndieDev #Indiegame #Gaming #noAI

Guess I’m rooting for the Sounders now. Cool.

Happy Saturday to everyone except the guy with the “Make California Great Again” hat who tried to cut past me in the line going out of Sam’s Club. Screw him in particular.

Abolish ICE.

Hell. Yes.

What a nice thing to say about the quarter of my family who lives there, along with my two uncles buried in Miramar.

It's still #MapMonday, so here's a map set in my game Tyrannis. Thought I'd experiment by having it be an in-universe paper test. You can get Tyrannis for $2 at the #Steam #Autumnsale: bit.ly/Tyrannis #indiedev #gamedev #noAI #indiegame #alternatehistory #cartography #turnbased #strategygame

Ezra Klein: “What is, to you, the ‘rage economy’?” James Talarico: “The billionaires own the algorithms and the news networks. They have created for-profit platforms that divide us on an hourly basis — by party, by race, by gender, by religion. They elevate the most extreme voices."

Joke's on you, this is a space piracy game posting account.

Chiitan loves transgender people 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Even a plain statement like this now brings slander and insults, but I think a society where people can live happily as themselves matters more than silence, so I will keep saying it until the account is gone. love everyone🤍

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
