right now there's no guarantee AI usage becomes embedded in indie games. We're a scene. We don't HAVE to be this. Individual choices couldn't matter more in this moment. To see that you can make a small, positive impact at mild inconvenience to yourself and say "nah" is to give up on a better world.

I'll be honest, there is nothing more demoralizing to me than devs saying "I know AI is built on theft, and anti-labour, and harms the environment, but I'm going to use it anyway bc I don't believe individual choices matter". This is how a movement fails. www.molleindustria.org/blog/future-...

Why do we keep on doing this? Praising a 'small core team' for a game with 1100+ people in the credits is incredibly misleading. This PR narrative hurts, hides the massive shadow workforce of outsourced developers and testers, and sets impossible standards for actual indie teams.

we've launched dedicated social channels for noclip_2 now so we're not flooding the @noclipvideo.bsky.social account with updates all the time. follow here for dedicated coverage of underground & indie games.

Imagine believing that programmers will save the world lol

Hey friends~ We have a new playtest out now, and I'd love if y'all checked it out. We've been goin hard (perhaps a bit too hard😅) and have a lot of new stuff, especially considering our last playtest was only a few weeks ago 👀 But I'd appreciate you giving it a shot and signal boost. 💖

Working on my own stuff, I'm definitely learning all sorts of things about myself and let me tell you, I'm not happy about most of it.

Seventeen years later… The time has come for Machinarium 2 🦾🔧 Wishlist NOW on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1619280/...

like yeah some games that go to die on steam *are* someone's actual passion project that they forgot to market during its 6 year development but when people trot out the "there are 15 quintillion games released on steam every day" please remember the vast majority of them are not that

This "Guantanamo Bay of video game experience" is on sale for half its price. It's really really low and it really really helps me if you buy it. Maybe are you part of the 137.846 Wishlisters... Jump in!

An oldie, but relevant ;D Always enjoy the colour change, feels bittersweet as I love the fall but will miss the summer ❤️

I've had this stupid joke in my head for the past 3 weeks, I had to put it into drawing

Czech countryside is largely defined by small hills for me so I added some terrain and a photo mode, where you can look at the landscape from a different perspective. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

Control (2019)

We’re making a scrabble tower defense game! Every word in the english dictionary is a unique tower ARROW pierces enemies PUNCHES knocks them back

ok here we go 🍝 Spaghetti Celesti: Devour the Heavens ⛅ is out now for free!! 🍴 the best pixel spaghetti of your life ↪️ prepare them & fork them perfectly ⭐ get those 5-stars reviews 😡 and be quick ! the people are hangry play it at punkcake.itch.io/spaghetti-celesti #fallingblockjam #pixelart

why would you try to lock down all the big picture elements of your game before going anywhere near polish when you can instead rush into making something that "looks finished" which ends up introducing rigor mortis to the rest of the project that you have to work around. absolute waste of time.

very annoyed at the concept of vertical slices and demos at the moment... cant help but feel like this sort of stuff just poisons the natural flow of how things are made

Hoped to put something together for Falling Block Jam but just couldn't bring myself to it in the end. Got no energy and not in a good place overall. Had an idea before the jam started, but lots of people went in a similar direction with their entries due to the theme, so that didn't help either.

Chris posting about his game months ago is actually how I discovered mancala. An entire family of games completely unknown to me until then! I've since played and enjoyed mancala IRL and am now even more excited to try this :)

Hey! Did you know we have an upcoming Steam event called BIRDS OF PLAY celebrating 140 bird games? October 10th to 16th on good old Steam! No link until it's live, but in the meantime you can find details and assets here: drive.google.com/drive/folder...

FINALLY!!! 😍 Fruitbearer is OUT NOW! Please go give some love and write a review on steam. For small indie devs like us it helps us a lot 😭💖 Our first attempt to make this into a full time career🥹 Hope you enjoy! 🥰💖 store.steampowered.com/app/4300180/... #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #art

no game dev skill is more important than making up your fuckin mind

There are apparently people who hate raisins but my only source for this info are American movies. Might be a made-up thing.

Perfect theme as far as my coding skills go!

Muting continues to be the best feature of any social media platform that has it.

Hello! I’ve been working on Hidden Drive: Pobal an Tobair, a detective mystery set in rural Ireland. Dig through a stranger’s old hard drive and piece together what happened to him. Here are a few early screenshots! #gamedev #godot #indiedev #detective #puzzle

3 days!!

Been going for walks in a weighted vest for a while and it's been so nice. It's like the perfect form of exercise for me, just adding extra sauce to something that I already enjoy doing a lot and not having to force myself at all.

PAUL: What’s in the box? REVEREND MOTHER: Pain. [PAUL hesitantly puts his hand in the BOX, then FROWNS IN CONFUSION. He pulls out A BAGUETTE.] REVEREND MOHER: Hōn hōn,

Been having a lot of fun with Grail lately! If you enjoy deckbuilders and autobattlers, buy it!

Maybe one day

Thanks, past me. One less thing to worry about, I guess!

test 👏 your 👏 own 👏 work 👏

excited to announce my new game 'Maybe... I'll go to the beach' 🏖️ it's a small spatial programming puzzle game inspired by Cellular Automata, CellPond (TodePond), MarkovJunior(mxgmn) more info below <3
