Just a reminder to all the indie devs: You can just post a link to your game when you mention it. In fact, attaching a link and thumbnail beneath doesn't even add to the character count. This isn't Twitter. You won't be suffocated in your sleep by the algorithm here. There is no algorithm here.

This one absolutely breaks my heart. Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, KOTOR, Mass Effect. Bioware was a trailblazer and pioneered so much of what is taken for granted in games now.

Yo. @kenney.nl has done more to support up and coming devs, empower non artists and people starting out with accessible tech than any other single person I’ve encountered. Just wanted to throw that out there for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

A HUGE Game UI Database update is looming on the horizon, which comes with an 'avalanche' of new features. Some game-changing, some completely pointless. Here's a pointless game-changer:

It's meeee! It's so worth looking at other playful arts and see how they tackle the same issues. We had a lovely discussion about different approaches to character creation and player agency and immersion, in digital and physical play

Jacob Geller is no longer a part of MinnMax. He won't be on content moving forward and we won't be publicly airing this week's episode of The MinnMax Show. We're in shock and deeply hurt. Thank you for your patience during this sensitive time.

Since a dev shared his game concept last month, Steam has been flooded with vibe-coded slop clones. This is what "democratising creativity" actually looks like. Even with AI, your ideas are worthless as long as they can be plagiarised at scale. Gen AI was designed for plagiarism, NOT creativity.

Mcdoogleh - ROGUE ECLIPSE OFFICIALLY OUT NOW!!! reposted

My friend made a cool game on a game jam and within a month a slopclone of it is on Steam. This is happening every day for indie devs and I hate it.

Sos "Buy Lazy Kickers" Sosowski@sosowski.bsky.social

Another such case. Every day, an indie game developer making something cool and sharing is getting ripped off by these clowns. Original on the left. Don’t share your game - no sales Share your game - gets stolen

We have run a games business for 10 years. indie, AA, AAA, mobile. We’ve done all of it. Not a single bit of overtime has been done. 4 day weeks for years too. The whole team is super committed and passionate. Less toxic bullshit in our industry please.
