Really love the look of Derelikt, but I couldn't help but imagine Zoolander saying "I can Derelikt my own... abandoned space ship thank you very much". Wishlist this. Has big DOOM 3 and System Shock 2 vibes. store.steampowered.com/app/3810510/... #indiegames #gaming

DERELIKT on Steam

DERELIKT is a narrative retro FPS built for fans of claustrophobic PS1-era sci-fi horror.

store.steampowered.com

Games writing Visible: The amazing narrative that wins awards and is praised by critics and players alike. Invisible: Full-time positions, job stability, and decent pay that reflects what you brought to the project.

I've been thinking a lot about visible vs invisible skill layers. i.e every craft has outer layers of skills that laypeople can recognise, and inner layers that you need expertise and experience to perceive at all. Could y'all think of examples of visible vs invisible skills in your own discipline?

There's something awakening beneath the ice... The Penguin Colony demo is out now on Steam! Pick it up to descend into Antarctic cosmic horror, and don’t miss the Story-Rich Showcase and Frosty Games Fest for brand new info from developer @veselekov.bsky.social. 🐧 Demo: bit.ly/PenguinColonySteam

@marathonthegame.bungie.net hey, any chance of Linux anti-cheat support? Marathon is literally the only reason I boot into Windows now, and it’d be nice to not have to keep that OS just for your excellent game.

So I thought that running Steam games on your retro handheld was a complicated affair, so I never looked into it. When Mina came out, I decided to give it a shot. GameNative for the most part... just works! Now I can easily commute playing classics AND small indies!

@tolkoto.com @grubb.wtf having you two here for BitSummit next year would be ace! Let me know if you need a fixer. I used to organize the GB PAX Aus meetups, and I love the work you guys are doing!

Shocked & heartbroken to say Team17 PR & Events dept & thus my role have been made redundant. ✨Looking for new roles using my 15 years supporting projects & brands across Marketing, PR, Brand & Comms✨ I appreciate any help that comes my way. Dhia libh uilig💚 (More info in post under this)

Forever immortalised as Steve, the guy who knows where the good toilets at the BitSummit river party are. Thanks for the shout out @haleyfax.bsky.social & @sarahpodz.bsky.social. I’ll write Ben and tell him a sickening amount of good stuff if it will help get you back next year.

Bluesky is not "dying", in fact it's about to become the next Martha's Vineyard

Steve died by walking through approximately 47463782 spider webs in the dark on his way home from Bitsummit. The gentle sounds of frogs and Biwako were the last things he heard. What a way to go.

Last day of #BitSummit and I wanted to do some shout outs. Huge thanks to @sheegoggery.bsky.social and Lisa for being the endless well of support and positivity, the givers of street chicken, and coffee. Without you folks I don’t think I could have survived.

Hey #indiedev friends who are coming to #bitsummit this year! If you’re looking for production or narrative support on a contract basis, we should talk while you’re in town. Regardless, let me know if you are around! It would be good to see some friendly faces!

Very excited for this week's batch of indie recommendos in the #IndieDispatch. @farfarwest.bsky.social @terratechgame.bsky.social @nightsignalentertainment.com @inkonbini.bsky.social @madheadbump.bsky.social indiedispatch.online/posts/robot-... #gamedev #indiedev #gaming

People looking for their next gig, I recommend using Hitmarker as as tarting point. It's easy to filter by country / role / remote, and gives you a bit of an idea who is actively recruiting. hitmarker.net It surprises me how many folks haven't heard of it. #indiedev

Played a few rounds of BIN CHICKEN, which was the Player’s Choice winner at #TGX2026. @sheegoggery.bsky.social married @allymobbs.bsky.social and was divorced at the last moment to have his precious food stolen away. Pretty fun little card game. #tabletop #indiegame

Arco is such an underrated gem that YOU probably haven't heard of. Get behind this small team. Even if you don't buy it, play the demo. Tell a friend. Help these folks find the success they so greatly deserve. Can't wait to see what they do next.

The new Bad//Dreems album is a grower, that has infected my mind every time I have a quiet moment. An unassuming classic Aussie rock group that just quietly churns out banger albums. baddreems.bandcamp.com/album/ultra-... #newmusic

ULTRA DUNDEE, by Bad//Dreems

Tickets booked for another trip to #Melbourne. Excited to head along to #MIGW and see how it has evolved.

Quick little jaunt back home to #Melbourne for TGX. It was kinda weird being “home” after 7 long years, but had a blast catching up with old mates, and making new ones along the way. I’ll be heading back in October for #MIGW so I’ll get to do it all again! #photography

If anyone is willing to share, I would be very appreciative!! 🔧🍃 We've just set the launch trailer live for Piece by Piece, our cozy repair shop game that is coming THIS WEEK, on March 11!! You can see it below, and find the game here: store.steampowered.com/app/3179050/...

Seriously, it is getting ridiculous the number of great games hitting Steam every week. It makes writing this newsletter easy. It makes playing them all and also doing life incredibly hard.

Absolute banger of a week for #indiedev with releases from @megacrit.com @wishfully.bsky.social @rawfury.bsky.social and @panic.com. Too many games, not enough time. What are you playing? indiedispatch.online/posts/slayin... #gaming

Super proud of @sheegoggery.bsky.social for making an incredible logo we are both very proud of. We have modest hopes for Indie Dispatch, but so far it's been a great project for the soul. Also, holy shit, Mewgenics is incredible.

Seriously, I cannot keep up with the number of interesting games that I've already found this year. Time, money. Why can't we have more of that? Hopefully you find something in this list that strikes your fancy. If you aren't going to buy, throw it on your Wishlist. It really does help!
