Halfway through the week, whats everyone working on? #indiedev #indiegames

What's a small detail in a game that made you think "someone really cared about this." #indiedev #indiegame

Goblins are the answer to everything! 💥 Wishlist now on Steam and play the free demo during Next Fest June 15-22. Built by a worker-owned cooperative. No venture capital. No AI for creative work. Just chaos, goblins, and a whole lot of heart. ❤️ #IndieGames #GameDev www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSwN...

Moms who deal with tiny chaotic goblins every single day deserve a medal...or at least some chocolate. 🍫 Happy Mother's Day! 💐 ❤️

"Rebellions are built on hope." Co-ops are too! Every share, every vote, every worker-owner is a small act of believing things can be built differently. Happy May the 4th, from Punch Up Games! 💥🥊 #StarWarsDay #MayThe4th #IndieDev #WorkersCoop
