Really on-point article by @gibiz.bsky.social . We've all been saying this for years — often in meetings with platform holders! Over and over! 😔 There ARE answers; but the peeps with the power don't seem to want to do anything. #gamedev #indiegames #gaming www.gamesindustry.biz/the-industry...

The industry makes great games, but nobody can find them

Algorithms built to surface content are increasingly rewarding volume, familiarity, and short-term engagement over quality or originality

🎉 We're celebrating another anniversary today! 🥳 Somehow we're still married after 24 years despite working together almost every day. The secret? Just remember that Nancy is right 80% of the time. 😙 #gamedev #indiedev

Cute icons of game developers Ben and Nancy are shown on a white background, surrounded by colourful confetti. Text reads: "24 years!?"

One of the things you don't think about when starting out in #gamedev is: how do you maintain your games? We're releasing another important update to Home this year, 14 (!) years after launch. Same with Alone With You. These kids just won't move out of the house! #indiegames #gaming

Ben here: in a restaurant, I randomly found the TV model we had in the early 90s. Played countless 8- and 16-bit games on this thing; learned to animate in Mario Paint. Somehow this tiny CRT seemed so big. I still remember the feel of those buttons. #gamedev #retrogaming

An old model of RCA CRT television sits on a shelf. A DVD player sits on top of it.
