Big Walk sounds amazing, but as a primarily single player middle aged gamer, how am I gonna find a reliable group to meet and play on a schedule?

Had to say goodbye to both of our cats within a really short time period, which really sucks. However, they were 19 and 20 years old so they got to enjoy really long lives. I’m glad I could give them a nice home and lots of love RIP Nibbler and Eponine

The Message from Deep Space was a really unique experience for me. It has some amazing concepts and puzzles, and I think it's it will be hugely influential to other puzzle game developers in the future... but... I can't recommend it to most people.

Y'all! This game is exceptionally well done..if you have played Type Help, you will definitely love this. I want to thank @eviltrout.com for giving me a review key for The Incident at Galley House. If this is your first experience with this story, you're in for a treat. Go check out my review. 😊💜

‘The Incident at Galley House' Game Review: An Unforgettable Haunted Mystery - by @theletterten.gay #gaming #gamesky #EvilTrout thecosmiccircus.com/the-incident...

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%

Pie chart showing game engines used to create 10,511 GMTK Game Jam games in 2026. Godot has the largest slice with 47%. Then Unity with 34%. Other with 11%. Game Maker with 5%. And Unreal Engine with 3%.

Kirsty is the best! The main reason I wanted to do this game was to hear how Type Help, and Kirsty and our excellent cast really delivered.

Thrilled to see all the positive responses to @galleyhouse.bsky.social! It was wonderful working as the Voice & Casting Director on this unique game. Huge thanks to @eviltrout.com & team for trusting me with the dialogue and congrats to our amazing cast for their committed performances #indiedev

We released The Incident at Galley House a week ago, and it's been a wild ride: * Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam in 48 hours * We recouped our entire development budget * At peak, 2500 people were playing at the same time!! Thanks to all the detectives out there for making it a big success.

I’ll be there and on a panel about detective game design with some amazing devs (Seance of Blake Manor, Case of the Golden Idol, The Ratline) hosted by @cressup.bsky.social - should be fun!

We hit Overwhelmingly Positive on steam in under 48 hours! Thanks so much to everyone who gave us a good review. I was able to take a break last night and watch some streamers and it made me so happy. There's nothing better as a developer than seeing people enjoy your stuff.
