Feeling real good about this one! I've been working on 𝑁𝑖𝑏𝑖𝑖𝑛𝑔 since Feb. of this year and (barring some playtests) it's finally at the finish line! #gamedev #indiegame #unity3d #screenshotsaturday

Instead of the slop Epic is pushing, why not check out our collection of 100% human made game jam silliness that's available for free on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/5090350/...

store.steampowered.comThe WHEELJAM Collection on SteamA collection of 22 games making up submissions from the WHEELJAM game jams in 2025 and 2026.

Epic has recently taken an aloof, defiant attitude toward AI critics, provoking reactions by calling its new launcher "vibe coded," and now with a many-fingered invitation to a game jam that mandates AI use.

these guys are really, outrageously, dangerously dumb. and then out of touch on top of it. heads full of rocks, hearts of stone, incapable of functioning in a human society

i lowkey miss the era when indie games were all experimenting with physics and shit. newer indie games don't have the balls to let the janky physics engine take the control. pussies

Hey folks, I'm going to try and fit this into my schedule, but maybe don't wait for me? It's currently 40% off and although I can't vouch for it yet myself, I've heard nothing but glowing things from people whose opinions I trust and value. Go take a look.

Carter's Quest pretty apocalyptically failed to catch an audience, even with Act 1, and I really do have to wonder what more people could have asked for. It stands in opposition to basically everything people complain about in games, indie and otherwise. It's for so many more people than ever saw it

You're basically shoving intern level code in our faces and demanding we call it a fucking miracle. No. Fuck off.

Hey, I notice you're trying to influence political candidates during an election. That's really inconvenient, politically speaking. Wouldn't it be better to wait until after the election, when the candidate has everything they need from you, and you have zero leverage?
