And this still won't be enough for people to accept the fact that we can all forget about Molyneux. Dude was into NFTs and everyone acted like nothing happened... "Peter Molyneux speaks candidly" really is UK press for "Molyneux bullshits his way through yet another interview, except I'm convinced"

It's time to start brainstorming for ThinkyCon Jam 2026! After another day of great talks, there's a lot to take inspiration from!

FOR FUCKS SAKE WE'RE RECOMPILING SWITCH 2 GAMES NOW IT'S FUCKING OVER LIKE ACTUALLY NOBODY CARES ABOUT FLYING TOO CLOSE TO THE FUCKING SUN ANYMORE

Hey at least they've got one good game in there. Could be worse! No Laney though, so obviously this is still very very bad.

Tune in for day two of ThinkyCon, starting now!

Genuinely not trying to start any sort of argument. Really just would love if Good News got more headline space than “Tim Sweeney is being a fucking prick again”

In the last year, No More Robots has funded + is currently funding a dozen games, and has paid numerous devs to make prototypes happen for free But obviously, getting press is absolutely impossible for us, because only doom and gloom gets clicks

VIRTUE AND A SLEDGEHAMMER 🔴 OUT NOW 🔴 I STILL LOVE YOU MORE THAN I HATE YOU store.steampowered.com/app/3743260/...

Fell back into Tiny Islands, I almost forgot how good it was. (still messing up with waves though...)

Here's everything that caught Corey's eye in Steam's Next Fest!

Since the narrative that the slop got cleaned up now is still being pushed... no it didn't. These entries are making the experience of browsing this event terrible and taking away real visibility from real, non-slop indie games.

Cool November Jam with a fun theme (And awesome landing page!) itch.io/jam/secret-j...

Look I can’t compete with my Chicago neighbors on SCALE of Halloween decorations. But can I compete on WEIRDNESS? Absolutely.

MOLE MANIA !!!!!

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

It's the Best Game Animation of 2025, now with some additional entries that are no longer under boycott! I'm very glad to finally be able to give them the praise they deserve

I'm again replaying Can of Wormholes. It's such a good puzzle game, might be my favourite! Really recommend it if you haven't tried it out yet

Folks panicking over that one demo graph from Next Fest should probs come look at this graph and calm back down. Seriously, Steam's algorithms are remarkably good at just sending slop straight into the abyss. Nobody wants this shit.

Can we please stop reporting ads as gaming news? These reports are released with dramatic numbers to get headlines and scare management into paying for consultancy. You can't get the "headline findings and how the study was conducted" without emailing and likely need to pay for full results.

#SteamNextFest is upon us... with a FLOOD of AI games? 😩 Made a quick graph and yes, it's indeed a massive spike in demos participating, almost doubling the previous record. On a more anecdotal note, I'm also seeing lots of genAI capsule art in there. Who's supposed to wade through all this?

ThinkyCon is in just one week!! 🎉 Tune in to hear a bunch of insightful talks about puzzle games at 3pm GMT / 8:00am PDT / 11:00am EDT / 4:00pm CET on YouTube! thinkygames.com/even...

I want to start some discourse so I want to nitpick the end of this ign videos talking about oot remake being intentionally theatrical and "loading screens represent the crews swapping [the stages] out before the next scene begins" is waaay too flimsy of an interpretation youtu.be/aoqemZVeIzw?...

Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society: VVVVVVV A fan game about a new recruit trying to join the crew of the DSS Souleye. My micro-sized love letter to the original VVVVVV is released! rarelikeaunicorn.itch.io/vvvvvvv #pico8 #vvvvvv

Steam Next Fest: October 2026 will begin tomorrow https://steamdb.info/sales/history/?event=229&utm_source=Bluesky

The Trifolium demo has been updated! Support for 13 languages, a basic menu, a brand-new Replay button, improved camera controls, puzzle updates, and lots of visual and animation improvements. Full changelog here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/335...

So I think everyone understands this already, but this is basically a euphemism for "we're hiring fewer full time employees and more contractors and codev studios because we don't have to pay them as much." I wish I could say this was an isolated case but I'm seeing it p much everywhere.
