Hades 2 made me pivot my career into indie game music, and it got me hooked on @haelian1.bsky.social videos. His video on The Loopler demo in February made me fall in love with the game, so I asked @mheepdev.bsky.social if I could make its music. Now he's streaming it on launch day. ❤️ #gamedev
I realized I associate most of my viewers with a specific game. You might become "the starcraft guy" in my head if you talk about it a lot. What game do your friends associate with you?
This game's going to be amazing
A little story: my new year's resolution was to pivot my music career into indie games. In 10 days, the first one comes out. We're at 75k wishlists and popular upcoming is so close! All thanks to @mheepdev.bsky.social's amazing roguelite, The Loopler: s.team/a/4150860 #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Apparently there cannot be a game that doesn't use AI... really confusing how they managed to make games prior to 2024 then.

Legitimately one of the coolest roguelikes I've played in a very long time. Clever, complex and breakable. Not to mention disturbing in an intriguing way. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6Jl...

As the year draws to a close, we wanted to wish you a happy and restful holiday season, and thank you for supporting Hades II and our team!🙏🌖 This festive moment in the Crossroads brought to you by our environment artist Joanne Tran.
There is no AI used in Blue Prince. The game was built and crafted with full human instinct by Tonda Ros and his team at @dogubomb.bsky.social. It is the result of eight years of development, fuelled by imagination and creativity, and we are extremely proud of what Tonda has achieved.
"we all have to accept that AI is here to stay" We've accepted it and determined that we prefer things made by people, not algorithms.
OMG THE ART
We’re deeply honored that HADES II is in the running for Game of the Year and more at #TheGameAwards tonight, especially since we’re in the company of such an amazing group of wildly different and beautiful games. Congratulations to all our fellow nominees — we salute you!! 🙏👏

@supergiantgames.bsky.social Hey SGG! Every single gaming website out there is claiming that Hades 2 has a "timed console exclusivity agreement" with Nintendo but I cannot for the life of me find any actual evidence of this being officially stated anywhere. Any chance you could confirm/deny?
@zainotv.bsky.social @majorleaguebalatro.bsky.social Perfect reaction to the Baron from @haelian1.bsky.social
