if you ever happen to see someone post a joke you don't understand or discuss a subject you aren't familiar with, you are well within your right to complain, and perhaps even scold them if necessary. you are their customer and you have rights

we were fortunate enough to work with the yarn team on young suns in early development and lemme tell ya they are so of the sweetest and smartest people out there. getting to watch them work+troubleshoot was like a religious experience. *extremely* skilled and great communicators, $5k/mo is a STEAL

It's a rough time to be an indie dev, so we got to thinking what we could do about it... Announcing MATES' RATES 🍻 We're offering 12 month-long co-dev engagements where we work on whatever you need to succeed! Very permissive terms. Flat rate of US$5,000ea (+ taxes). 🎟️ yarnspinner.dev/mates-rates

A composed flyer advertises Mates' Rates with many decorative stickers on a cork board and the following text: "A month of co-dev on your game from the Yarn Spinner team. US $5,000 flat for the month, plus any relevant taxes. In 2027, we're offering 12 month-long slots for co-dev work with indie studios at a dramatically reduced rate. We're doing this because it's a tough time to be making games right now, and sometimes a little help is all a team needs to get a new project started right, or a nearly finished project shipped." Badges advertise the team as multi-skilled, expert, and extremely productive. Readers are then directed to the URL from the post body for FAQs and full terms.

Thread! We’re trying something new with this, and want to make ourselves available to smaller teams at reduced rates. Take a look!

Dozens of games are released every day, but I want to focus on one that hits this week. Penguin Colony It has a very clever pitch: what if you witnessed a Lovecraftian story in Antarctica through the eyes of the local penguins? But there's a LOT more happening here about indigenous art and artists

Penguin Colony on Steam

Cosmic horror, through the eyes of a penguin. Rival human factions have come to your home in the Antarctic, seeking an ancient and inconceivable being. Observe their descent into insanity in this fait...

Unity invited Yarn Spinner to be part of their Autumn Sale! We explained that we can’t because it’s spring here, but they said “do you want us to promote you or not” and we said “oh fine I guess” Anyway: get us at 50% off and help support development of the world’s greatest narrative tools!

If we could ask a quick favour of any Yarn Spinner user, it would be for those who have purchased YS+ to leave a review. Less than 1% of purchases have left a review. Y'all game devs know how much reviews make a difference, and tools are no different. Help us stand out among AI-coded slop 🙏
