Look, here's the thing. With layoffs, shutdowns, and GTA coming out in a month: If a game looks cool to you and you have the disposable income: buy it. Don't just cheer on indie games from the sidelines. Don't wait for a sale, or until you have time. Support art that excites you, tangibly.

Wow, links look great there!

Little heads-up for those that don't know; you can now add links to your profile! Really good for listing what you're making!

Watched Digger and the new Street Fighter movie. Both are a great time in completely different ways. Loved Digger, enjoyed SF.

In case you missed it on the Playdate, Dig! Dig! Dino! is a chill digging game, in which you join a crew at a mysterious dig site and start digging! You get treasure to upgrade your tools, uncover strange dinos and artifacts, and slowly piece together the secret history buried deep in the earth!

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖

Four years ago, Under Canopies was a weekend hobby project. I nearly gave up, but friends, devs and players kept me going. With a small team and Assemble Entertainment, it launches in Early Access on Oct 23! 🌿 If you play, an good Steam review would mean so much. ❤️ #IndieDev #CozyGames

Toem 2 is great! I finished it yesterday and it was a blast. If you enjoyed the first one, you are going to love this one as well.

TOEM@swmgames.bsky.social

Thank you all for sharing what you love about TOEM 2 with us! With a 90% positive rating, we're so grateful that you're been enjoying the game as much as we did making it.

It was surreal to see Doug Bowser (former Nintendo of America's president) talking about our game in the stage of Super Indie Games. What an experience!

one thing you learn from making a lot of things is that the nitty gritty details, the millions of tiny invisible decisions, ARE the art. The "higher level ideas" are not nearly as important or interesting

Freya Holmér@freya.bsky.social

"AI lets you focus on the higher level ideas!!" because we all grew up dreaming of becoming managers and CEOs we all know the real artists at the very highest level are the shareholders, famously full of amazing ideas

This prototype is feeling very promising! I don't want to jinx it but I'm excited!

Fáyer🔥@fayer.dev

I started prototyping again after month(s), let's hope that this time I land somewhere interesting enough to me to pursue.

📣 We're trying something new over here in Puzzmo land — community games. We still have plenty of our own games coming, but if you've got a game you think would be a fit for Puzzmo, reach out! More info & the submission form here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Submissions run through October 2.

I started prototyping again after month(s), let's hope that this time I land somewhere interesting enough to me to pursue.

I've been trying to make something since I launched my previous things months ago but it has been quite hard. Between platforms being too crowded, people being more interested in gimmicky AI-slop ideas and/or not finding the right idea and/or collaborators, I've been a little bit burned out.

Luckily I had some traveling scheduled with the family and I re-discovered Magic (the gathering), so I've been quite happy being away from work. That being said, I'd be happy to collab or help projects if someone has a me-sized space.

Our Indie Game Bundle for Venezuela ends TOMORROW and we’re just shy of $100,000 raised for charity! Help us spread the word one last time and push us across the finish line. ❤️ Let’s get to $100K!

Free idea for rich guys following me: make a junior fund. Offer it to studios with shipped games and decent headcounts, but specify it must be used to hire new devs and support their training. Less glamorous but you’ll get plaudits down the road when those juniors mature. Every ‘name’ was a junior

Ok im gonna say something here that is going to draw a lot of different feelings from everyone, and I want to be clear i'm not "in support of this" or "against it". i'm just saying it as an observation that seems true to me: I think with the latest frontier LLMs, the “music” era of games is upon us

constraints CAN breed creativity, sort of, but i hate this way of phrasing it, because constraints can also hobble you - dogma can make you miserable and incapable of creating things what we really mean is that SOME constraints function as PROMPTS, specifically in the pre-hell-world sense

god, you guys, just buy the indie game that looks kinda cool. don't play the demo, don't agonize over the reviews or wishlist, JUST BUY THE INDIE GAME!! if you didn't like it, oh well, whatever, maybe next time, meanwhile you supported an artist, thanks for coming to the gig, want a t-shirt?

Hello again! I am still looking for either full-time or contract work. I've been working in games for close to 15 years now and have done just about every role you can do on the 2D art side of things including UI, implementation, art directing and team management (and I actually love it all).
