We've been asked to extend the deadline a little bit so this is just a PSA that you have until July 24th to get your zines in!
Dr Florence Smith Nicholls@florencesn.bsky.social · 3mo agoWe have extended the Games and Archaeological Play call for zines until July 17th! Anyone can submit a zine: you do not need to attend or register for the conference to submit. gapworkshop.org/call-for-pap...
UnderDeveloped 2026 kicks off at 1pm today! We're currently setting up at Brunswick Square, and have found a shaded area towards the back of the gardens. It is warm out here though, and while we'll do our best to keep things cool, please remember to hydrate, and limit your exposure to the sun!
Greatly looking forward to heading to @underdevelopedconf.bsky.social in Brighton tomorrow for quality chats with quality humans. ❤️
UnderDeveloped 2026@underdevelopedconf.bsky.social · 2mo agoUnderDeveloped 2026 is tomorrow, you lucky things! We've been floored by the response from the community, and thought we'd drop answers to some FAQs we've received ahead of the event. Incoming 🧵!
For those about to UnderDevelop, we salute you 👩💻

still glowing after GIGF26 @glasgowindiegamesfest.org its heartening to see so many beautiful people exploring the potential of indie games by just following their own personal fascinations and micro obsessions my faith in the medium has been restored for another year
Due to an at the time unforseen set of circumstances, I can't actually be there today. But I know with Nick holding the fort, it's going to be a great time. Here's me and my buddy Link live in Finland, wishing all those about to garden party An Extremely Nice Time. Please tell me all about it 🌱
Back in March of this year, I started a conversation with @cassettewitch.bsky.social about the kind of event games weirdos like us would like to be a part of. Right now the product of that conversation - @gamesgardenparty.bsky.social is happening.
"thisverisionofme_thisverisionofyou" by @symoneforever.bsky.social is a collective storytelling and roleplay game where you have a conversation with a stranger, in silence. You are not discovering who the other person is, but constructing a version of them, and yourself. Who will you pretend to be?
Callum Cooper is planning something slightly different for Games Garden Party - a tech demo rendering the derelict industrial Cornish coastline in clay. Curious? We sure are! In the meantime, you can check out Callum's work at callum-cooper.itch.io
Today is the day! And, it's going to be a hot one! For those heading to Barham Park Studios for the Games Garden Party please keep yourself cool, hydrated, and shielded from the sun's rays. Bring your heart, and your ideas, but maybe also a hat?
In addition to playing these and the other works on display tomorrow, there will also be a chance to hear directly the makers themselves! If you have a lingering idea you'd like to share as part of our unconference, we would love to have you! All the details are at gamesgarden.neocities.com

The game scene feels a bit weird these days. Events shutting down, companies laying off artists, but there are more inventive and exciting games being created than ever. We want to cultivate a space…

"trolling." by @renegade.sun is a satirical typing game where the player takes on the role of a social media troll. Each word you write fuels your Vitriol-o-meter, allowing you to continue your tirade and further ignore the people in your life. Find out more at renegadesun.itch.io.
Also showing tomorrow is "The Tree that Remembers Tomorrow" by Rrushika Kadam - A 2D narrative exploration game in which you tell stories, listen to other characters stories and recollect fragments. You can play the demo at - rrushh123.itch.io - or come and play it for yourself!
Excited to be at Games Garden tomorrow. Would love to see any London folks there!

Games Garden@gamesgardenparty.bsky.social · 3mo agoGames Garden Party is under two weeks away and we've got a handful of wonderful games to play. Poetic digital toys about rejection letters, card game chatrooms, digital words scanned from real clay! Also, here's a picture of Daniel talking about Yelling Games from the last time we did one of these.

What does it mean to be a #goodcitizen in gaming? 🎮 Linked to the Josefin Arnell exhibition, #COLLIDERS of June will delve into the good citizen theme, exploring games where perfection is obedience & improvement turns into control. Join COLLIDERS! sickhouseenschede.stager.co/shop/default...
Love. Heart. Hugs. Support.

I am unfortunately abroad when this is on, but wanted to show my support for this. In the current industrial landscape, games focused on communities and not platforms is desperately needed. Wishing the organisers well with the event!
