Videogame companies in 2026 decide to cease production of "videogames"

This is just insanity. One of the best studios to ever do it, with a big-budget immersive sim based on a major Marvel property ALMOST FINISHED, and nobody wants to release it!? The big business side of this industry has gone completely mad.

3. Knuckle Paradise by @flying-oak.com Really satisfying beat-em-up combat in a beautifully rendered isometric pixel art world. Also just really funny. Our protagonist takes it very seriously that someone destroyed a person's sand castle.

4. Emberville by Cygnus Cross @emberville.bsky.social I just want to spend all day looking at this game. The art is so captivating, and reminds me of the gloomier flash games I played as a kid. I will say that the difficulty is tuned a little high for single player, which I hope will change.

2. Waltz and Jam by Flyway Games This game oozes charm. It feels like playing through the love child of Adventure Time and Over the Garden Wall. The Zelda-like gameplay matches well with the toybox aesthetic and the world makes you want to live in it and listen to the tunes.

Cat people, unite! 🐱 The Citadel Project, a dark fantasy stealth game, had to release early due to a massive €6,000 vet bill. A red-light runner fucker hit their cat, Snoopy, and fled. Miraculously, Snoopy survived thanks to his incredible strength and will to live.

I don't know who needs to hear this, it is entirely possible to build a whole game without generative AI. All our art, VO, worldbuilding, lore etc. is done by humans because we think our team is awesome and we value their expertise and labor. 🧡

Microsoft had already decided to shutdown Ninja Theory (Hellblade, Senua, Enslaved) before thed announced 'Senua' at Summer Games Fest. Microsoft decided to feature the studio to draw investor interest in the studio. It's unclear if Ninja Theory knew about it. www.gamefile.news/p/xbox-studi...

I know that we are 2 days away from our next Six One Indie Showcase, but we are always trying to stay one step ahead. So with that in mind... Our next event, Demo Days, is now accepting submissions! More info below! (1/4) 📝: forms.gle/hcvk6xhgeArS...

This. I'm so tired of seeing sales data on game releases. I don't care! That's for the suits, not the consumer

We reached overwhelmingly positive!! That means that at least 95% of the reviews are positive! Thank you to everyone who played the game, talked about it, made videos, recommended it and - of course - left a review! For indie teams like us that is an incredible help!

Plagued by fantasies of owning a Nintendo Switch 2 and playing Pokémon Pokopia one day, @maddie-b-a.bsky.social distracts herself by thinking about how the core attraction of today’s most popular cosy games is just socialism.

thisweekinvideogames.comThe Fantasy of Cosy Games is SocialismAfter the reception that Pokémon Pokopia received, it's become clear that we're all just looking for an escape from late-stage capitalism.

You know, now that I have it all set up and I’m playing it on a TV that’s able to take advantage of all its bells and whistles, I have to say… I really can’t see the advantage and I’ve lost my disc drive.

Apparently the way to finally get me to buy the PS5 Pro is to tell me the price is going up in a few days. So, congrats Sony. But I’m going to be bitter about it 😠

It was really hard to pick only 9. The first four were no brainers. Then I had to think about games that spoke to me emotionally. The last two are blueprints for mechanics I love every time they show up in other games.
