A ghost in the games industry machine.

How to choose - A convention in Sweden has been playing the same game of King of the Castle annually every single year since launch, multiple tattoos, and a number of baffling family trees

As I put the finishing touches to my talk for #developbrighton, I'm looking for stories from developers, of the most exceptional or outlandish things that players have done to show their love for your game. Was it unhinged fan art, multi-volume fanfic, tattoos, themed weddings..?! #gamedev

Little bit emotional this one - the first ever game I made as an indie has been re-released and finally finished with its last bit of content after 6 years. Go give it a spin, it was my entire world for many years. Full credit to the superb team who worked on it. Go look through those credits!

Six years ago a Choices Matter game called Over the Alps released. Stave was formed to make it, it became an Apple Arcade launch title, and it won a few awards. Part of that team went on to Tributary, and when Stave closed we couldn't just let it vanish. So... Re-introducing, OVER THE ALPS! 🧵

Boxroom is coming out on the 11th (tomorrow)! It’s been in release limbo for nearly a month through zero fault of the devs, and from experience that can rough up a game launch. So please, support a fellow indie, give them your support and shout about it!!! store.steampowered.com/app/4335460/...

BOXROOM on Steam

BOXROOM allows you to design, define and decorate a room - a sanctuary - for your Steam library, and then revel in the organisation of your game collection.

As a tall person I cannot offer to reach something on a high shelf for a stranger, yet if they ask me I must oblige. This is the law of the giants

If you've never read it, check it out, as you're in for a treat. Wonderfully told, sumptuously drawn and deeply moving.

🌹 10 years ago, I launched THE CARPET MERCHANT OF KONSTANTINIYYA, and it changed my life forever. To celebrate, the 10th Anniversary Edition of my very first completed #webcomic will begin February 18, 2026 - updates every Wednesday + Saturday. Read the prologue now: thecarpetmerchant.reimenayee.com

Key illustration containing the title of the webcomic (The Carpet Merchant of Konstantiniyya, 10th Anniversary Edition, by Reimena Yee). Within a stylised depiction of Istanbul's Blue Mosque, a tearful Zeynel is embraced and comforted in the arms of Ayse, his collar and neck soaked in blood. His long coat, a kaftan embroidered in gold florals and flames, is splayed on a floor-sized Usak carpet. The couple is surrounded by gold-foiled tulips, roses and poppies. Woven and sitting amongst the flowers are Zeynel's pets (a white raven and black rat); his English friend Alfred; and his vampire sire, Mora Strigoi. Lanterns are hung from the stems and leaves. Behind Zeynel and Ayse, their family members watch from the columns of the mosque. One of them is a young woman weaving a carpet, the other is a stately grandfather writing a book. A mysterious shadowy figure looms further away. A giant nightingale and bat face each other, framing the title. The illustration is in mostly monochromatic shades of blue, save for the gold of the flowers and embroidery; the bright red of Zeynel's turban, blood and Mora's attire; and finally, the white of the raven, moon and title.

You shouldn't be allowed to be a conspiracy theorist if you've never done an office move
