DEMO IS OUT RIGHT NOW!!!! darkroomsgame.com #gamedev #indiegame #darkrooms #demo

Chess videos on youtube will have a title like "learn this brutal opening" and have a thumbnail like this.

Devs keep losing their livelyhood right after their games launch. I keep wondering why we don't just stop buying games at launch. If publishers knew we'd wait until the devs were actually kept on, maybe we'd have some say in how disposable the devs are treated.

SCOOP: A few weeks before the launch of Star Wars Zero Company, most of the developers at its studio were furloughed The studio says they hope to secure funds to restore their pay. Some are skeptical it'll happen I learned about this via a bitter lawsuit: www.gamefile.news/p/star-wars-...

I'm in reference material heaven. 100% accurate textures are coming. #gamedev

Spent the day in Kayaköy. There’s something very strange about walking around a place that was once full of everyday life and is now almost completely quiet, except for the crickets and a dog barking in the distance. We took a lot of photos. Here are a few of them. #gamedev #kayakoy #turkiye

A long way up.

Dropbox has been emailing me every month for the last 2 years, that my files take 2000% more space and will be deleted unless I re-subscribe. I have done nothing The files are still there I think I accidentally discovered a new free tier no one knows about.

Hi everyone, today me and 22 others at Double Fine were hit by layoffs today. All the people who lost their jobs today care so much about the games they make and the people they work with. If anyone is looking for a tools SE with 7 years of experience and who brings baked goods on Mondays lmk.

this was super fun to make and honestly turned out surprisingly good? using mouse gestures to “conduct” feels kinda solid #gmtk2026 #indiegamedev

Made a rhythm game for #GMTKJam with @tapes.club @stefanevrard.bsky.social You conduct an unruly animal orchestra with your mouse while buying upgrades with your keyboard. If you miss a beat, they will get angry... Play 3 tracks and drop your high score: baybora.itch.io/meowstro #gamedev #gmtk

Games are art. Art changes us. We want a game that stops a billionaire mid-stride. It reaches their soul, holds them still, and they give everything away to mend what's broken. That is the game we want. #gamedev

Question for fellow devs: Most of my wishlists are from English-speaking countries, with a smaller but noticeable number coming from Russia, Brazil, Germany, Spain, and France. Would you prioritize adding more now, or put that time and budget into marketing and localize after? #gamedev #indiedev

Not my proudest moment but I couldn't possibly find another name for it. #gamedev

Never been to Clacton but from what I hear it sounds something like this:

Trying to make this game alongside an incredibly demanding full-time job is just exhausting. I'm also a father to a 5 year old, and I feel guilty for not putting the energy I put into the game into things for him instead. The constant maintenance of averting burnout is just too much sometimes 1/2

This is unbelievable to me. Thank you all #gamedev

Just hit 500 wishlists on Steam! That’s 500 of you who believe in this game. Still early days, but every single wishlist means the world. Thank you ❤️ Onward to the next milestone.

I’m NOT excited and I’m NOT thrilled. I’m honestly scared to share this, but I’m not a coward. I have to show you what you helped us create. None of this would have been possible without your help, and we can’t finish it without your support www.launchgood.com/1948 youtu.be/D4qh1FAPEUo

New character. #gamedev #indiedev #horror

I'm going to hold a lecture about procedural music and also modular synthesis in Umeå VCV Rack is very nifty and I'm using it to solve all my audio utility needs. Like this patch for example. It takes an input signal, and segments it and writes the segments into multiple wav files based on volume

SURVIVAL HORROR IN THE ALPS FFS! No AI slop in my game... For your consideration: Mundaun - a lovingly hand-pencilled horror tale. It's at 93% positive on Steam. It's on a steep sale right now. All human made. Sound. Voice acting in a language I don't even speak! BUY IT -> SUPPORT HUMAN (me)

I'm kind of getting into the grain I have in my game. I love a noisy image.

Does anyone speak Akkadian? 🏺 #screenshotsaturday #horror #indiegame #horrorgame #gamedev
