Nighthawks has sold TEN THOUSAND copies in less than one week! For a tiny studio like ours, this is a huge milestone. To all the supporters, backers, wishlisters, and everyone who believed in this game and us, thank you so much.
Nothing too extravagant, but I always loved these hanging 8-bit skeletons in Dracula’s dungeon. Happy 40th anniversary Castlevania!

Just got the program guide for @bostonfig.bsky.social this year. Honored to have my game included among these incredible-looking titles. 😀
There's a bunch of RPGMaker tools and assets coming out now that would lend themselves to making good MIGO stuff. Argggh. If only the world today sucked a little less...
Looks incredible! 🤩 I'm especially intrigued by what appears to be more flying with the owl, and better swimming gameplay. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcAv...

Sometimes I remember about the coquette aesthetic Hound of the Baskervilles (From Wordworth Editions) I don't need to own it, but it makes me happy knowing it exists. I hope it has made lots of Gen Alpha teens who love soft feminine aesthetics and gothic horror very happy.
I've now read 7 books in this series, and they're all fairly consistent. If you like somewhat gothic murder mysteries, as well as Japanese history and culture, then they're interesting. They also serve as the inspiration to Kindaichi Casefiles, which is one of my all-time favorites. 8/10
A thing that surprises people: BostonFIG is 100% volunteer powered. No paid staff, no corporate owner. Just a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and a crew of people who love indie games. Every ticket and every sponsorship goes back into the festival and our year-round programming. Thanks for playing with us!
Sherlocked In: The Detective's Point of No Return The point of no return makes the detective care more about solving the case, which in turn increases the reader’s commitment. darlingaxe.com/blogs/news/m...

My time to spend on Gamedev is going to slow down soon. 2026 is generally a sucky time, but I will miss the creativity. 😭

My views tend to support copyright holders and creatives (even "unpopular" ones like the RIAA), and not letting big tech rip people off to make a buck. #stoptheslop
