On the day the world celebrates one of the biggest games ever made, we're celebrating the little ones. The Pyramid launches for FREE November 19, 2026 on Steam. Our love letter to indie games and roguelikes. 3000+ handmade challenges, 150+ games. Wishlist on Steam โฌ‡๏ธ

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.

"But from day 3 Next Fest will be personalized, so surely the slop will be buried, right?" Well, it was a nice thought. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

#SteamNextFest is upon us... with a FLOOD of AI games? ๐Ÿ˜ฉ 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?

"you can't avoid ai, it's in everything" *Looks at the 800 something game devs on my starter packs of devs that don't use AI* Yeah I think I'll be okay.

headfallsoff@headfallsoff.com

the "you can't avoid AI, it's in all software now" argument might be true for infrastructure, where we have limited agency over the platforms and systems that make up our society, but is hilariously untrue for video games, a completely optional and easily ignored part of all of our lives

With closed beta underway via our Discord, we're moving towards releasing our card-printing auto-battler TOPDECK AUTOMAT later this year! ๐Ÿค–๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ฝ One super fun thing we're working on is more animations for the aliens, including little victory dances, which might make losing a little more bearable...

Whoever picks the Gamescom Awards nominees, do you just paste the "highest grossing games" or were you actually paid by the publishers to put those in specifically? The disrespect towards medium and platform shown by this focus on gacha exploitation machines is ridiculous...

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!
