Think about it. A version of you lives in the minds of everyone you have met, even if only for a moment, an hour, a day, a week, a year, a decade, or more. Most of them are inaccurate. Be who you are, not who you used to be, and most certainly NOT who someone thinks you are.

Enter the manor... if you dare... I've been putting a couple of hours into this each weekend for the last month or so. Still lots to figure out and it may never see the light of day, but I'm having a lot of fun so far. It's lovingly nicknamed Project Spookems

"Proudly made by mortals without generative AI" Great first impressions of Vampirium 1997 by @mikebithell.bsky.social, and I haven't even gone past the main menu yet

Sustainability in the games industry has been severely lacking these last few years. It's great to see new studios popping up putting it front and centre. I really, really hope we see more of this in the coming years.

I have no idea what it does yet, but LinkedIn adding a "This seems like AI slop" button is hilarious. I hope all platforms follow suit

I am unexpectedly at Develop for the day. If you're here, let me know!

Getting a lot of eyeballs at the moment, so, if you’ve also announced an indie game recently, reply here and show off your wares with a trailer. If you’re reading this later, go checkout these games and get them wishlisted (you know, just like you’ve already wishlisted Vampirium: 1997)

Are we... Are we going to see Count Binface on Question Time? Might that actually happen? Please let that be a thing that happens

Been working on this as part of my Levelling The Playing Field program for a while, as part of a mission of creating fairer access to knowledge. Eight 101 video courses for independent game dev, €40 each, available soon. Sign up for the launch announcement & newsletter at courses.ramiismail.com

Does anyone else have a cat who sleeps with his leg sticking out like a little weirdo? Or is it just Caesar?

Firstly, someone get this movie a sequel! Secondly, he's totally right that the magic looked better with purposeful hand movements than with uninspired gestures. It makes them feel kinetic and weighty

This is really interesting food for thought, creating an approximation of the full game before diving deep into any part of it. I'd love to give this a go with one of my solo projects

remedy opened a senior writing position-- best of luck, fellow weirdos gamejobs.co/Senior-Write...

If you're games industry and following some folks already, reply with who you are and what you do, and then re-post this or whatever it's called. Let's try and find each other on this new place

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

I don't want gen AI in my browser I don't want gen AI in my pc I don't want gen AI in my art I don't want gen AI in my games I don't want gen AI in my music I don't want gen AI in my movies I don't want gen AI in my books I don't want gen AI in my cart I don't want gen AI in my life

Happy Mewgenics day to those who celebrate

Between Fable, Mewgenics, Hozy, Paralives, Erosion, and Dobble Dungeon, my Steam wishlist is looking very healthy. I think 2026 is going to be a great year for games releasing

getting increasingly stressed that I've only got a single lifetime to work on all my projects

Overheard in Waterstones: "I loved the Midnight Club but I couldn't get into Mike Flanagan's other series because they're about old people" Old people... Ouch.

Listening to the latest @playwatchlisten.bsky.social episode at the gym, and my headphones ran out of battery just after Alanah asked Mike "Are you into goth girls?" What a cliffhanger! @charalanahzard.bsky.social @mikebithell.bsky.social

Mistborn and Stormlight Archive TV shows! Hopefully this means we'll finally get to see Sanderson's work on screen. And he's got creative control. I need to go shout at the sky in excitement. www.ign.com/articles/bra...

Counterpoint. Instead, offer free media literacy and critical thinking training to every adult in the UK.

The place we need to get people to, on both sides of the Atlantic, is immigration enforcement is not a priority. It should rank far below littering on our priorities as a society. We're talking about paperwork here.

Going to a LOTR themed night at a friend's house. Naturally, being 6 foot 3, I've chosen to go as a hobbit.

Now's a great time to delete that X account. I just did.

I googled "chill games on gamepass". One of these things is not like the others

1 day, 3 hours, 48 minutes and 15 seconds until #Reach comes out... Not that I'm counting or anything... 👀

It's almost here 🎉 Cannot wait for people to get their hands on Reach. 16th of October!

So proud to finally be able to show off what @ndreams.bsky.social Elevation has been working on for the last 3 years. Can't wait for you all to get hands on

Anyone know any decent alternatives to Duolingo that aren't 'AI first'?

I just got a very small amount of hands on time with Clair Obscur Expedition 33, and damn that game looks good. Slick presentation and a really fun evolution of turn based combat. I wonder if dodging and parrying means you could get through the game without taking damage... 🤔

Don't think I've been this hyped for a game reveal in years. Oblivion Remaster reveal here in 15 mins www.youtube.com/live/kjOiLCC... #ElderScrolls #Oblivion

Some great (mostly evergreen) game design tips here. Making me itch to get back into some side projects

It's little things like this that I love most in games. Where some dev has lovingly crafted a rabbit hole that only a handful of people will ever find

HOLY SHIT! This might be the coolest thing ever.

Currently watching Eternal Strands download after the last couple of Play Watch Listen episodes piqued my interest. Really looking forward to this one (hurry up interwebs)
