"Indie games" (itself an overly broad term at this point) aren't going to "save" games; there's a whole list of factors at play with what's going on, but man At this point independently produced games feel like about the only ethical option.

Ive seen multiple posts online saying that "there are no game devs doing games without AI today" which is complete bullshit Raise yor hand if you don’t use any form of LLM and actively avoid it ✋

itch.io@itch.io · 2mo agoHello everyone, the site is back now and we're still working on verifying things. A rogue maintenance query caused a system to run our of disk space and alerts were not fired correctly. Investigating to see why not. We apologize for the downtime.
how quickly do you think Capcom would sue me into oblivion, and would that be a good marketing strategy ⚖️ (for legal purposes, this is just a fun design exercise) #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #gameart
It took me 2.5 years to do it, but I released my first full game on Steam a month ago. It's about a cat detective solving a murder and a heist in a museum... I think it's neat. You should purchase and play it~! 🖤🔎 #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

i wanna make stuff that inspires people to create fan art.
I'm Eric, and I'm looking for work! 👋 Design, writing, art, code, sfx; I shipped a game having done it all, but it didn't hit its targets, despite glowing reviews. Times are tough, trying to keep the dream alive, and also pay rent! Please share! My DMs are open! 💜 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames
My early impressions of Saros: If I was a protagonist in a sci-fi story, I would simply not put my hand in the Whatever That Is™️
This would’ve been a wild cross-promo with “Feline Forensics and the Meowseum Mystery” which also features animal characters and artwork, but alas, we live in an unjust world 😔

The last 3 years are gone. I made a video game. The last 5 days went by in a blink. I released a video game. People loved it. I fixed it anyway. I woke up today knowing that nothing needed my immediate attention. I cooked breakfast. I can let my wrist pain heal. I hope I can do it again. 💜
