Seriously if someone ever brings up AI to me in a business meeting ever again I'm afraid I'm just going to unload *all* my fucking feelings on the matter. Support Devs that don't use AI, help all you can with Indie folks from Buying, sharing and reviewing. Fuck the industry getting gutted.

My next adventure is #TowardDawn, a #jrpg billed as a werewolf romance drawn from Welsh mythology. Released back in May by solo dev @deviserene.bsky.social , it seems to have flown under the radar. Let's crack it open and see what's what! #indiegames

Please do wishlist Tales from the #Mabinogion! This might be the most prominent Welsh mythology-inspired game on the horizon that I can think of.

It's #WishlistWednesday ! Please do add a Wishlist, it's one of the few ways small indie developers have for getting visibility. Nothing new to share this week, so here's an old clip.

here's an idea every time you see a bigoted rage bait piece in the guardian or wherever else (you shouldn't, don't read the guardian. they are bigoted shitheads.) how about instead of sharing that piece you share some cool work by trans people. music, art, writing, poetry or anything! just trans.

2010 puzzle-platformer Apple Jack's backstory sees the man with an apple for a head travelling from England to #Wales to rescue his dog from Mount #Snowdon. Each level is named after a town, with many from the #Welsh counties of Clwyd and Gwynedd featuring in the final portions of the game.

I cannot wait for this game! It goes overlooked, but Withering Rooms and the upcoming Withering Realms are both set in Wales. Realms is looking incredibly creative! Set for Early Access on Steam in Q2 2026. Wishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/3441990/...

Hey folks I made a #GodotEngine plugin to make 3d scene decoration easier. It's meant to feel like Gridmap but is based on snapping scenes down to a surface instead of to a grid. I'll have it available in my discord server and github in a few days. #godot #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #3dmodeling

I want to create a database of EU-based #nsfw games that includes payment infos so people can manually purchase games via wire. No idea if this makes any sense or will work but I want to do something. Submit your game: tally.so/r/nrM05R Database: cryptpad.fr/sheet/#/2/sh... #gamedev #indiedev

tally.soSubmit NSFW Game to EU Anti-Censorship DatabaseMade with Tally, the simplest way to create forms.

Thinking about somehow making a rudimentary nsfw game database for Europe-based games with price and bank information so people could wire money to buy. As far as I read the games are still available on Itch, just not searchable so devs could still could give keys after purchase. Stupid or not?
