I am excited to be heading along to Melbourne International Games Week this year after many years abroad. If you're going to be at #MIGW this year, I am looking to: 👏 Talk about job opportunities 💵 Explore funding opps for cool devs in Kyoto ☕ Catch up with old friends and meet new #indiedevs

I really loved Arco and always felt it was under appreciated. To hear it broke even is nice, but the fact it took two years feels like a crime. I wonder if it’s a genre problem? Visibility? Anyways. You should play Arco.

Arco breaks even after topping 100,000 sales in two years

@sweetshop.app any chance you can upload Hellboy Omnibus 1 soon? Looks like all of them but the first one is there haha.

@sweetshop.app got an email for me to drop some videos of app performance to? Feel free to DM me. Probably better than Bluesky would allow.

The cool thing about looking for work in the #gamedev scene right now is that with all these layoffs, everyone else is also looking for work. It’s going to be hyper competitive as people scramble for you know… a pay check. Makes it hard. On the flip side, studios can pick up a lot of talent.

Train Drivers in Japan were hardcore. Standard issue blades?

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

I just got back into comics again after about 9 years out of the hobby. Moving to Japan I sold all my stuff, and they are hard to find and expensive to come by here, so I’m all in on digital. Starting on this one tonight thanks to @sweetshop.app. I’ve heard good things.

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.

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!
