📢 TIME FOR A NEW PINNED POST! I'm Alex, indie dev & co-founder at multi-award winning micro indie studio @polygontreehouse.bsky.social. Prior to that, I spent over 14 years working at PlayStation. I'm busy working on our THIRD indie game, which is currently top secret...

NEW DLC OUT NOW! Forbidden Solitaire: The Discarded DLC is out now on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/5238350/... We hope that you enjoy it :-) Please share, thanks!

Forbidden Solitaire's new DLC is OUT NOW!! Very proud of what the team was able to accomplish with this! This also might be the most oddly romantic story I've written for a Night Signal project? Albeit with a touch of toothy body horror to go with it, of course. 🦷GO FORTH: tinyurl.com/k9uvnahk

Someone added some hurdles to my morning walk.

Chores done. Castlevania time is a go...

making games so you can hopefully afford to make more games is literally a different industry from grinding up people so number goes up and it is harmful to pretend otherwise regardless of whether or not we share a platform or a binary format

Hello, we are humbly asking for your help as a tiny indie studio of currently 2 people! We are trying to get eyes on our latest game since we do not have a presence on Xitter, and we are up against a deluge of AI slop during NextFest: #indiegame #gamedev store.steampowered.com/app/5103900/...

Code in a box on Switch 2 is so embarrassing, what you mean you're cheaping out on the empty cartridge

Berserk perfect pairing for me: @thehorrormaster.bsky.social new album youtu.be/Vj89q66nANs?...
