White Iris, my old queer point-n-click horror game is half-off for itch.io's summer sale! Give it a play if you want a short and eerie play. joseph-egogarden.itch.io/white-iris

Started updating the title screen recently! Going for some ethereal yet cozy vibes. Not finished yet but getting somewhere neat ☺️ #indiegame | #gamedev

We're making a metroidvania with a focus on schmovement. Our less traditional upgrades are more expressive with a high skill ceiling and can be chained to make some beautiful flow. If you're interested, wishlist Iron Bramble on Steam! #indiedev #indiegame

As an indie games publisher, we're often asked how we're integrating AI into our business. We're not. Please never ask us that again 🖤

For years we have been overwhelmed by the volume of code contributions we have to review, especially from new contributors. AI has made the problem much worse. That's why we are taking steps to reduce the burden on maintainers while still welcoming new contributors: godotengine.org/article/cont...

Starting messing with melting beads recently. I thought I’d start by making the player from RavenStar! There’s something so satisfying about seeing your pixel art take physical form.

This is a really great extension to add to your browser. You don't even have to open the pages now to see that it used Gen AI.

I am so happy to announce that a full, revamped version of my game RavenStar now has a Steam page! If you are a fan of: Metroidvania Exploration🔐 Charming Characters🧙‍♂️ And Resonate Narratives 📖 Then this might be worth a look! Check it out here!: store.steampowered.com/app/4414490/...

While playtesting our game, we noticed that we didn't put any limit on how many sheeps can spawn resulting in whole island being Sheep Island. What do you think, should we keep it? #cozygames #indiegame #indiedev #steam #pixelart #gamedev

We're actively looking to release a first #GodotEngine game on #NintendoSwitch2 If you're on to something interesting, or you know someone that might be interested, get in touch! hey )at( RAWRLAB.com

I wonder whose game this is?…👀

So there's this indie developer who is making a mini-metroidvania where you play as a raven born without wings, cast out of your village, and every new friend you make unlocks a new ability to get home. It's called RavenStar, do you want to play?

if I seem militant about AI it's because a lot of my friends are writers, concept artists, QA people, etc, and they are the ones who are currently having their careers obliterated by that shit. not speculatively. happening right now. I don't see a need to be soft towards ppl who shrug at that

With Sega (my former beloved) now jumping on the AI slop train, I'm seeing people say well everyone usea AI now at least for code! No, they don't. And here are 3 starter packs of game devs who don't use ANY AI The slop is not inevitable go.bsky.app/6DRdowf go.bsky.app/AS5R4p7 go.bsky.app/7K7JDCJ
