ISteam Summer Sale - you've seen all of the "Top X games to buy on the Steam Summer Sale" - most of them (cough PolyIGN) are pretty lazy rips right off of the Steam top seller charts. We’re not going to do that. Here’s 42 great indie games on sale - not a single game over $10 #indiegames #gamedev

Come run 5 miles with me and learn about 5 amazing indie games! Follow: @yattytheman.bsky.social @lowbirthgames.bsky.social @brycebucher.bsky.social StudioArcanix on insta Computer_gil on insta #indiegames #indiedev #running

The Fair Play Collective news letter for April (May?) is out now! Lots to talk about, from the pilot contract, to some funding ideology changes (nothing bad, I promise), to some awesome indie games. fairplaycollective.beehiiv.com/p/how-is-it-... #indiedev #indiegames #gamdev

It was an absolute blast talking to Jonny!

We are absolute suckers for some chunky action-adventure games. Check this one out.

I promise that FPC with NEVER do an April fools gag.

52 of you have showed up for the start of this thing already. Amazing. discord.gg/2yNQVxDxtu #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #videogames

On Friday, Epic laid off more than a thousand people. The SECOND time in two years they’ve reduced their workforce by 20%. Many were my friends and people who’d put in more than a decade of work for Epic. While those at the top will continue to profit. . #GameDev #epicgames #layoffs #indiegames

when you really think about it, the true value of video games is in laying off thousands of the people who make them at regular intervals in order to increase shareholder value 🥰

“and in being the industry's vanguard we have taken a lot of bullets in a battle which is only in the early days of paying off for ourselves and all developers.” An insulting piece of writing. Millions wasted on ego stroking lawsuits, and he has the gall to say this. #gamedev #videogames

fairplaycollective.org This is early days, and it sounds like it'll need a lot of supporters to make the math work, but it's the kind of thing we need a lot more of. @fairplaycollective.org #indiedev #indiegaming

fairplaycollective.org It still seems small, but I like the premise. I think it's a much better approach that gives power to the people to decide where the money goes, and not the studios who let go of people when they prioritize profits over people #indiedev #workersFirst #gamedev

Video Games. Let’s fund them. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #videogames

Who has two thumbs and forgot to put the analytics script into the new webpage? This guy. Got all excited to check site visits and analytics since I dropped the new front page and pushed it out over socials...nope

In approximately one hour we're going to go live with #Steamnextfest demos. Kisaragi - store.steampowered.com/app/4388610/... Alstan - store.steampowered.com/app/4293970/... Eletta - store.steampowered.com/app/3540930/... CD-ROM: store.steampowered.com/app/3980760/... twitch.tv/ultamaynard

The website update is looking pretty cleeeeeeeean. (Don’t mind that top bar, I uh, haven’t done a ton for mobile yet). #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #pcgaming

Hey, it’s been a few!! Lots happening behind the scenes. - Website update and remake to create the backend to members. - Pitch deck design - Roadmap for socials, board, and first funding! - Artist engagement for a logo - Consumer outreach survey - Another guest spot on a podcast!

Seems right to us! Also our nearest neighbor is @skellingames.bsky.social which fits right in!

anyways, make video game

An update for FPC and #indiedev and #gamedev

Not quite indie specifically related, but we’re a big fan of this space.

We're launching a website. Jank is an independent PC games website funded by readers. jank.cool If you like funny, thoughtful games journalism and can't stand adverts, deals posts, affiliate links, and other nonsense - Jank is for you.

Hard at work hiding as many secrets as possible in our adventure/mystery game…. JOIN US #gaming #videogames #art #game #steam #indie #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamedev #wip #indiegames

My god, we love a shiny waterfall. This game looks absolutely charming. Check it out folks!

This is great direction towards “control” in the indie space and what it means.

TWO posts on Threads. One introducing FPC, and the other with EXACTLY the pinned post here. One follower on there. What?

#indiedev, #indiegames, and #gamedev - GDC for aspiring/small indie devs? Are there better alternatives?

Some good clean fun! This looks like such a good time.

After years of following and supporting #indiegames and #gamedev, it’s finally happening: Our game "Kernelbay" has a "Coming Soon" page on @steampowered.com and we're part of the Fishing Fest! 🎣 It would mean the world if you could wishlist & repost🙏 store.steampowered.com/app/3686480/...

This is what it's like to lose a life and eventually get a game over. #gamedev #indiegamedev #touhou #touhouproject #東方Project #retro #nintendo #snes #pixelart #ドット絵 #博麗神社

I'm now open to work and looking for my next role as a Writer or Game Designer in games, now that my contract has ended. I have worked on the award-nominated Civilization VII, and have many other indie and AA projects where I was responsible for content, systems and production.

I just wanted to share with you some nice Monasterium screenshots from today. Join Monasterium discord to be first to get them in future! Join: discord.gg/tZnYCQRnbV #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity #indiegame #cozy
