Our last guest game tomorrow is... Thinky Dailies by @thinkygames.com! Local boy (and Technical Lead and Design) @josephmansfield.uk will be showing off the light-hearted daily game which introduces you to all sorts of handcrafted puzzles! A few free tickets left: buytickets.at/mdesingames/...
Damaging new guidance from the EHRC will shut out Trans people from daily life simply for existing, and anyone who doesn't conform to narrow ideas of how people should look could face suspicion and confrontation. We are taking a stand against this attack on human rights.
The penultimate game from our local developer line up for this coming Thursday is Less Miserables by @collegefungames.mastodon.gamedev.place.ap.brid.gy! A point-and-click parody of Les Misérables with puzzles, hand drawn art, and an amazing voice cast. Thursday! buytickets.at/mdesingames/...
Huge kudos to @househouse.com but also @panic.com on the release of Big Walk. Game looks amazing, but giving access to so many indie review sites ahead of time has really helped build buzz for a game that's a tricky pitch, and needs you to be excited to bring your friends to! 👏👏👏

“Not everything should be a musical” shut up man, one of the greatest musicals of all time is about the rise of Nazis seen via a seedy club.
I finished this yesterday, and it was terrific. I think funnier and even more beautifully realised than the last one.
Adam Vian@sfbdim.bsky.social · 2d agoIt's astonishing to me that The Mermaid Mask has only been out for 2 and a half weeks and we've already got over 2000 reviews on Steam... (and 99% positive!)

sharing this post one last time before letting it vanish into the social media void forever 😌 in it i talk about how local communities are a source of hope and resilience in the midst of all The Bad. keeping the true spirit of indie games alive.
Nathalie Lawhead@alienmelon.bsky.social · 3w agoi just published a post about my time at @glasgowindiegamesfest.org "When you strip back the commercialism, the urge to “sell”, and with that remove all the predatory behavior capitalism encourages… you are left with something human that creates the groundwork for games to be relevant to everyone."
Minor scale issue in testing this mechanical character, but I'm digging the Howl's Moving Castle vibe here...
We did it. Sleepytime Village is soon to enter Beta testing - fully playable from start to end, been through round 1 of QA (thanks @pauljamesqa.bsky.social ) and voice over late August. What a journey this has been and the game is indeed an EXCELLENT ADVENTURE! #indiegame #screenshotsaturday
With finished characters in the scenes, 'Less Miserables' is really coming to life! #IndieGame #GameDev #HandDrawn #NoAI

Hello, this spring I visited charity shops all over the England to see what video games they had on the shelves. It was… educational. Please come and see what I discovered and add your own finds in the comments! www.theguardian.com/games/2026/j...

Hidden gems can be unearthed, but you have to dig deep into the bargain bins of countless outdated Fifas, Wii Fits without the controllers and partially finished quizshow games

Terrifying to see wildfires raging through Scotland. The climate crisis isn't a distant threat - it's right here and right now. How many warning signs and alarm bells until Andy Burnham takes action to end oil and gas drilling?
