I have a bunch of Google Play rewards money about to expire. What are some good premium games on the Play Store I should buy? Ideally indie titles

I just donated over 1000 keys to organizations that use games to support children undergoing medical treatment: Gamers Outreach, Child's Play, and Get-Well Gamers. It is crucial to spread light in dark times. I hope that Potions will provide comfort and a bit of joy to those who need it most.

I wrote a silly article on a game design concept that I feel is vastly underdiscussed - Player Engagement Expectations www.linkedin.com/pulse/player... #gamedesign #gamedev #indiedev
Player Engagement Expectations & Prey in WoW: Midnight
I am tempted to write a new talk titled "Respect Your Players' Need to PEE". Most of my industry peers probably aren't aware that I have played World of Warcraft longer than I've developed games.

This is the kind of game I need right now

A friend shared this today and I relate to it so hard it hurts.
Skin, hair, fur, chimera. Fit check for our DLSS 5 era. The "future" of game graphics sure seems dystopian.
Ownership as a leader, taking responsibility for all failures, frees your team to worry about solutions. It improves trust & communication. It even reduced my stress and effectively reframed my problem solving approaches. From my ep on the Founders & Empanadas podcast! #leadership
#WhataGameDevLooksLike From indie dev to industry executive and back again! And super proud that I self-published my game, Potions: A Curious Tale, on all consoles in December! 💜

My WoW Midnight CE just arrived in the mail and the Dark Heart replica is a light! The box is gorgeous, too. Probably the most beautiful one yet!
Not feeling creative? Same. TW: Sirens, explosions. #gamedev #indiedev #creativity
You should probably trust QA... #gamedev #programming #indiedev #humor
One of my Christmas gifts! Any #gamedev or creative recommendations for good program implementations? I know it can be active program based, so I figured binding some Photoshop, Blender, and OBS shortcuts would be a good start.

I've decided to run an inspirational AMA today on /r/IAMA to answer questions about #gamedev and to encourage others to pursue their dreams! Hosted on my /u/RikuKat account. Link coming soon!
So proud to announce that Potions: A Curious Tale has won "Best Indie Game" from the Overcome Festival!
Spent some time with @rikukat.bsky.social's #PotionsACuriousTale ⚗️ You play as Luna the witch who relies on clever potion crafting and environmental tricks rather than straight combat. Gather ingredients, experiment with recipes and solve puzzles across enchanted biomes 🧙♀️ Vid below 👇
Since Potions' console launches shipped (crash-free!), I was able to buckle down and add new content to Game Dev Foundry, including "Stages of Game Development" with best practices! I hope these free resources help others on their #gamedev and #indiedev path! rikukat.github.io/game-dev-fou...
