⚔️THE BODEGA IS OPEN⚔️ I'm very excited to announce my first mostly-solo game Dungeon Bodega Simulator has released on Steam! Go grow some crops, brew some potions, and solve my puzzles :D Positive reviews are amazing, the faster we get to 10 the better! store.steampowered.com/app/3458180/...

VIRTUE AND A SLEDGEHAMMER 🔴 OUT NOW 🔴 I STILL LOVE YOU MORE THAN I HATE YOU store.steampowered.com/app/3743260/...

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

I am tired of games where u play as a straight dad teaching his son that violence is bad while performing 1000 glory kills... I prefer VAL'TY, a game where you play as a *trans mom* teaching her daughter that violence is *good* while blowing up *1000 American flags*

Yesterday: Warren Spector justifiably furious about how f'd up the razing of Bioware is Tonight: Warren's in Brooklyn talking with us about his career, and probably also all this f'd up #!(*% extractive consolidation going on? Bring your questions ALSO at twitch.tv/nyugamecenter see you there

Hey y'all! Going to be doing a short stream of Penguin Colony later tonight at 6pm PST! While horror isn't my usual bag, its both the reason for the season and this particular game is very important to me. Come join for some penguin shenanigans and eldritch horror 🐧

So, the Next Fest page updated to default to personalized recommendations, but you can further tune the results by filters and tags. It went from 'at least half AI garbage' to 'holy shit I just discovered 20 cool human-made games I wanna play in under an hour'. Go dig around yourself. It's good!

I am salivating dreaming of the day I can hire someone to do the marketing/pr for me lmao, I am legit budgeting about 12% of my total dev time to it and that is doing the bare minimum

Its officially a year since Next Fest Oct 2025 when I first showed y'all Dungeon Bodega Simulator for the first time! Its fun taking a look back and seeing everything that changed and what DNA really stuck around. Will share some Next Fest favs from this year!

Im not at home rn and really bad at making birthday posts but hey my birthday is tomorrow and I just want my stuff to have more eyes on it so I can continue supporting me and my wife who's been on the job hunt since we moved I got links on my bio and my pinned

proud to be an indie game that doesn't use AI this next fest🤍

TD fans this one is for you! Our Pelikeeper Demo is in #SteamNextFest 🌠NEW Astral abilities 🐭More animal towers 💪New player upgrades 🪽More levels 🤩TONS of polish We make heartfelt games(without AI), and this one is no exception!🤍RT's appreciated🤍

I Am Your Beast DLC "Quitting Time" is OUT NOW on Steam! 🐺 New Prequel Campaign with 10 New Fully Voiced Levels 🔊 New Soundtrack from Kalibration 🧠 Throw a riot shield so hard it makes a dude's head explode store.steampowered.com/app/4578110/...

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.

Okay, people are already getting really depressed and frustrated with the Next Fest, so I'll say what I said last time round: Wait a day or two. They order the games on the pages by hours played, and 99% of the AI garbage will sink like a stone. Right now it's just undifferentiated and unranked.

Feeling lucky I get to work for myself right now and don't have to worry about being pressured to use genAI by coworkers

You can play our silly roguelike #deckbuilder made by a team of 2 human with absolutely no 🤡 AI during the #SteamNextFest!! Please help us raise above the slop by sharing and wishlisting idk what else i can do at this point 🤡 store.steampowered.com/app/4475970/... #Godot #GameDev #IndieDev

WHEW JESUS BARS BARS BARS BARS BARS

Tangentially but not unrelatedly, if you're wondering why some indie studios in canada have lived so long, the fact that the Canada Media Fund disperses around 350 million dollars in arts grants a year has something to do with it

YES. JESUS CHRIST YES. ITS ONLY BEEN AROUND 3 YEARS. WE DON'T NEED IT. www.techspot.com/news/114234-...

🦈🐠Fish 2 Nite 🐡🐟! Gonna be streaming How to Fish tonight as part of our exploration on fishing games, and I'll be joined by @crittercomet and maybe some friends! See y'all at 6pm PST !

An explanation on why Big Walk isn't available on Xbox. bigwalk.game/xbox

for sure gonna have to catch this @tomwalker.bsky.social VOD after seeing this

The WHEELJAM Collection -- 22 games from WHEELJAM 2025 and 2026 -- is now LIVE on Steam, for FREE! This has been a labor of love from the community, and now you can play them all, updated from their jam versions, with one convenient launcher: store.steampowered.com/app/5090350/...

The festival is back online for the season!! No new trailer this year, but this video by @ifindgames.bsky.social is a great introduction! We've already had 17,000 pumpkins submitted this season!

over time it looks like: • more people are using non-Unity engines • more people are foregoing third-party tools to roll their own solutions to things like dialogue • among those who do use third-party tools, Yarn Spinner is growing, but so is a really interesting diversity of new tools! 🎉

Just got my Covid and Flu vaccines for this year! Out of pocket without insurance was a bit more than I was expecting for Covid ($150) but Flu was only $20 so I'd def recommend getting your immunizations if you can! With insurance both are free at a lot of places

I’d also like to share one of my favorite albums by an indigenous artist! This is Gumshoe by Samantha Crain! Samantha is a member of the Choctaw Nation who plays singer-songwriter Americana! samanthacrain.bandcamp.com/album/gumshoe

Alien Fruit makes our games in the traditional and ancestral homeland of the Coast Salish peoples including the Duwamish, Suquamish Tribe, Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, and Snoqualmie Indian Tribes. If you're in North America, take a bit of time to learn about the tribes in your area!

Happy indigenous People’s Day from this (half) Native American vtuber:3 💚💀 Fuck Christopher Columbus

Seeing complete pitch decks like this is so helpful even if I wont be looking for funding for at least a year. Very useful resource

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! Today I’d love to highlight one of my favorite artists: @cougartherian.bsky.social! Mishibizhii is an Ojibwe artist who does some incredible Woodlands style artwork, and it was actually one of the first artists to draw my new set of sonas! Go check her out!

flashing lights warning but yeah grannies tuff
