Well, it finally happened! After 9 years of Unity dominance, Godot was the most used game engine for GMTK Game Jam 2026 submissions. 🤖 Godot - 47% 🎮 Unity - 34% 🛠️GameMaker - 5% 🚀 Unreal Engine - 3% ✨ Other - 11%

Calling anyone looking to make games that can contribute to a better future, one we want to see! We invite game creators & anyone who cares about climate from around the world to make games that explore solutions to address a rapidly changing planet. 🌿https://www.indiecade.com/climate-jam-2026

We're thinking about how we can improve our map so walking around & exploring looks nice. We want to keep our camera fixed for when you walk so it can get a bit tricky to design the environment. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #devlog #majorupdate

Changing the character model in #blender. Is the new one better? Shout-out to @kenney.nl for making the open-source mini-characters, we used the armature and animations for this. #indiedev #gamedev #devlog

Going to GodotFest the next days. It's the first time I join a big Godot conference 👀 I'm excited and looking forward to meeting new people there. godotfest.com #godot #godotfest #indiedev #gamedev

@b1is.bsky.social and I are so happy and thankful that our game got selected as winner of the Floodlight Game Jam 🎊 We feel really honored being picked among such a strong competition and enjoyed developing a game based on a real-world story a lot. #indiedev #gamedev #gamejam #indiegame

The Floodlight Game Jam submission is over. It was really nice to get immersed into the stories of investigative journalists. @b1is.bsky.social and I learned a lot, about game development but also about the world. #indiedev #gamedev #journalism #gamejam #games

We’re in the middle of the floodlight game jam, where we work with investigative journalists to make games that explain important yet complicated matters. One more week to go! www.floodlightproject.org/floodlight-g... #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

Our journey to get to our Steam Capsule (main graphic) for the Steam Page from the first drafts to working with a 2D artist. Thanks @dirn.bsky.social for making the capsule, it was a lot of fun to work with you!! ☺️ #indiedev #gamedev #gameart #games #steam #indiegame

We gathered all your votes from Bluesky, Mastodon, TikTok, Loops and Discord and the name most of you resonated with most was... "Where the Ghosts Are Damp". So that's going to be the name of our game. Thanks to everyone who helped us find it! ☺️💦👻 #indiedev #gamedev #devlog

We just shared our #Steam Page for review - we're waiting now to get green light - keeping our fingers crossed that we got all those assets in the right place. I was really surprised to see how many more graphics are needed compared to itch.io #indiedev #devlog #gamedev #gameart

We're making screenshots for our Steam Page which we will (hopefully) launch next week 😱 In this level, you save canned beans from a storm at night - or , well, you try your best 🍃 #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #devlog

@b1is.bsky.social and I have found a name for our studio!! May I present: Green Wave Games. And for everyone who gets the reference: Yes, I love surfing 🏄☀️ #indiegamedev #gamedev #devlog

Just released my first Unity asset: a tool that turns text into mumbling voices like in Animal Crossing or Undertale. If anyone wants a free copy, hit me up. Would love feedback! assetstore.unity.com/packages/too... #gamedev #indiedev #unity #voicetools

Our game is a surreal puzzle adventure where you volunteer in a disaster-struck valley —only to find that rebuilding is far more complicated than it seems. What name should we choose? 🤔 #indiedev #games #puzzle #adventure #indiegames #gamedev

Behold! A little reveal! Been having BIG fun learning Unity! I bought the 7-day challenge from Game Dev Unlocked, and while I'm deviating lots and will definitely be taking more than 7 days to complete it, I'm learning tons through making my 1st game. More info below xx #indiegame #gamedev #unity

We swapped the Easter eggs for… an Easter pumpkin! It’s convienently egg-shaped and vegan. (Even though in the last playtest, people thought it was a mango, so maybe it’s an Easter Mango.) Anyway, happy #Easter! #screenshotsaturday #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev

Added some effects to level signs to make them pop a bit more— trying to give player a little VFX-dopamine. Any suggestions? #indiedev #unity #gamedev #indiegame
