omg OMGGREEEE YES

I had to go on Twitter to confirm this was real because Ship Awesome Games In A Weekend having a hand with six fingers was so on the nose I was about to pass out

what exactly DOES happen to materials from a major studio that’s closed? where do physical hard drives, documents, etc go? who maintains all this pointless secrecy? if you know or have stories, get in touch: nathan@aftermath.site, nathangrayson.666 (signal), aftermathdotsite@proton.me (proton mail)

NOOOO WHYY !!!! WHYYY!!!

End of a huge era. Artistry is under attack by capitalism. I hope these devs keep creating and telling their own beautiful stories. There's definitely a huge appetite for them.

I'm immensely proud to announce that my texture library that's been in the making for nearly a decade is now available on my itchio store for indie devs to purchase commercial licenses. makkon.itch.io

We're thrilled to announce that HYPER GROOVE AX, our rhythm game for the Playdate, releases ✨next week✨ on October 27th!

My sausage is uv unwrapped ????????

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Hey! Are you an indie dev who doesn't use gen AI and have a game you're currently promoting? I'm looking to make a starter pack and you could be in it! Reply below with a link to your game 👇 go.bsky.app/78u8M6Y

OH!? @maxxburman.bsky.social congrats!? If new ownership is willing to support the actual art community and moderate out AI influence and the cascade of slop, I'd be happy to welcome artstation back from "I Will Never Post Here Or Think About It Again" Hell magazine.artstation.com/2026/08/kitb...

Virtual buddies

This is a pretty good summary of why this stuff has zero appeal to anyone who actually enjoys making anything, and there will never be anything Ai companies can do about that. (Green absolutely torching his own credibility is just an astonishing unforced error. Write your own words!)

Adding to the collection

Strange Scaffold's first-ever merch drop just went live with @theyetee.com - and there's gonna be more to come! LOOK HOW CUTE THAT PIN IS theyetee.com/collections/...
