My game studio's running a series of free events in Los Angeles, Boston, and Brooklyn over the next few weeks to showcase the game, get some feedback, and get some interested people into the alpha. It's all free & we're offering prizes, food, etc. - check one out if you can! popularium.com/events

How's everyone doing tonight?

The vibes are, frankly, immaculate.

gameinformer.com/gdc-2026/202... Kind of wild to see the game I'm working on (Chaos Agents) on this kind of list. Neat!

@thepodcastgeek.bsky.social Have you heard Beef and Dairy? If you're into St. Elwick's and the... 10 minutes of Brain Cigar I've heard, I think you'd likely enjoy it. maximumfun.org/podcasts/bee...

Gorgeous birds out eating sunflower seeds today.

@demilardner.bsky.social I am listening to episode 296 - (The inevitable disrespect of the NYC pigeon) and I am wondering if you're willing to share your laksa recipe. It sounds amazing and I want to cook it.

in front of you there are two doors, guarded by two Shakiras

Man, testing new features is fun.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

It's wild when TwitchCon comes to your city.

store.steampowered.com/app/1346360/... is really good. Thanks, video games.

Man, running game events is stressful, and I'm not even in the room for it. Still, nothing gets the adrenaline pumping like 'there's 40 people in a room depending on the game to work smoothly for a competitive experience' and then the servers have a momentary hiccup. #indiedev #gamedev

@boontavista.com The moment when Andrew hard launches "Plapril" in Bonus episode: The Velvet Underground Of Teaching Orangutans To Breastfeed by saying "Give our show a little plug" and Theo says "flared base" under his breath and nobody mentions it. Feedback: You're all beautiful and perfect.

My game studio's running a live LAN party in Gardena, CA for Chaos Agents, our upcoming autobattler royale. Free entry, cash prizes, in-game rewards, alpha access, meet the team: popularium.com/events #losangeles #gamedev #indiegames

Join us for an epic Chaos Agents LAN Party on Saturday, May 10th! Play, compete, and hang with the team IRL. Bring your friends - they get in for free too! We'll be hosting Coast to Coast - Gardena, CA & Boston, MA. Visit the events link in our bio for more info and the RSVP! #LANparty #gamedev

Okay, this is pretty cool - seeing the way the game's progressed is neat. I'll have to see if I can dig up any of the even older footage I have.

The year is 2029. @boontavista.com episodes now consist of nothing but 60 straight minutes of tortured segues into original themes for segments. Listenership is in the hundreds of millions.

Invest in the future of gaming -- Chaos Agents from the creators of Magic: the Gathering and Hearthstone. Visit the link in our Bio to get started! #InvestInGames #ChaosAgents #GameDev #IndieGameDev

the problem with The Signal Chat isn't that they added the editor in chief of the atlantic. the problem with The Signal Chat is WHY WAS THIS INFORMATION ON SIGNAL AT ALL. the fact that none of the 20-odd people in this signal chat said "HEY MAYBE SIGNAL ISN'T RIGHT FOR THIS" is a really bad sign!!

Now I'm just experiencing what I'm more and more aware is a bit in real time thank you @boontavista.com

It is now episode 203 of @boontavista.com and there is another drop-in from Ben to correct an error. At this rate, the podcast will be entirely corrections by roughly episode 217.

I have listened to roughly 390 episodes of @boontavista.com and bonus episode "Flamin' Hot Junjo Itos" is the first time I have ever heard a post-record drop-in correction. The correction: 'woman who broke into zoo to feed monkeys Cheetos was not, in fact, an employee of the zoo.' truly staggering.

I'm working on this game and it's been a really neat journey so far. Come by if you can - it's going to be a good time. I'd love to also be there myself, but Europe's a long way away. Seems like only yesterday we had a bunch of spheres moving around on a featureless plain.

If you're looking for something to do today in the general vicinity of GDC, my game is having an event! popularium.com/home/ Euphnet Cyber Cafe, 612 S Mary Ave, Sunnyvale CA from 1pm to 9pm! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames etc. etc.

If you like things that are good, Tom Cashman (of Taskmaster AU fame) has released a special on YouTube. Heartily recommend.

Naming your game "Chaos Agents" and then having 2025 happen really does a number on the google alerts for your game :/ #gamedev

Introducing... //NEGATIVE REVERIE// A retro-inspired, modern-setting game about technology, violence and intelligence. Join Vuota and her allies on her mission to take down the FamilyTech Company in this new RPG! Wishlist now!

Knock on the Coffin Lid is really, really good. It's like if Slay the Spire had a plot. Really interesting seeing how they designed the card pools and character variants. #gamedev

Dealing with Azure is a hassle, but realizing that my game gets a significant performance boost for ~55% of the cost of our current AWS setup is a really unexpected bonus. Friendship ended with c5.4xlarge - now Azure Standard D8as v6 is my best friend. #gamedev

In before a bunch of upcoming visual improvements and a number of other structural changes, here's a screenshot of some alpha gameplay of Chaos Agents, the autobattler royale I'm working on. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Everyone’s a fan

whatever happened to that person with the beans

I'm just out here wishlisting 95% of the stuff that hits the #gamedev feed - y'all are doin' great!

much of my rekindled existence on shortform internet is based on listening to too much @boontavista.com and wanting to feel like i, too, am laughing while the ship is sinking

I want to love Outer Wilds because apparently everyone else in the world thinks it's amazing. I keep bouncing off of it, though - something about the 3d motion with thrusters just doesn't click for me and it's embarrassing.

Going to take a moment to shamelessly promo the stuff I'm working on. I'm very excited to see loads of new people joining the alpha of the game I'm working on, which is an autobattler royale featuring globally-unique units (popularium.com). I love my studio and the stuff we get to work on. #gamedev

I'd love to get some feedback on my turn based RPG. Honestly, I love what you do. It means so much to indie devs to get some eyes and hands on their games. 💕 store.steampowered.com/app/3140160/...

Why is the backend of Steam so incomprehensible? #gamedev

Does anyone actually prefer GA4 to Universal Analytics? If so, can tell me why? I feel like they moved a bunch of the information (specifically around events) that I used to be able to look at within GA to "nowhere". I know it's there because I'm pushing it in via GTM but I can't access it.

I feel like I'd do a lot more skeeting if I stopped thinking 'huh, nobody actually needs to hear this' before I hit post.

YOUNG MAN, there's no need to feel down i said YOUNG MAN, pagliacci the clown you can SEE HIM he is playing in town you should go and have a good time
