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.

It's TIME! TO! GET! HYPE!
Today, I get to proudly unveil Steam Hype, the project I've been working on with the help of @hookshot.media for the past two and a half months.
A new PC gaming site which aims to demystify PC gaming, cut through the 100+ daily releases and spotlight indies as much as AAA
Judging by the fact that folks who have lifetimes of wealth that none of us are likely to see are taking time out to harass Kenney, WELL. 😬
Doesn't even scratch the surface in terms of how environmentally destructive these data-centers are.

Whatever happened to that old adage of quality over quantity 🥲
Could you imagine how unwieldy and unmanageable technical debt will get, we're gonna hand all of that off to the machine to handle?

New followers (👋) so little introduction; for the past 10+ years I've been releasing public domain game assets to support indies & students. You can donate, but it's totally optional. I hope to continue supporting our industry for many more years to come, thanks for your follow/support!

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:
And now it's live!

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.
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.
I'm pleased to announce that around 200 pages' worth of tutorial resources are coming to the Game UI Database for FREE via a brand new blog. No ads. No paywalls. No email signups.
Here's a preview of the first piece dropping next week, all about crafting cross-platform control schemes and layouts!
I kind of crashed out this week. Generative AI has made a lot of my hobbies and creative endeavours feel pointless, when I'm not in a good headspace. I had a good conversation with a friend that helped, so I wrote about it, so I can read it when it happens again.
