This one is special. Most survival horror games manage tension through a careful interplay of empowerment and disempowerment. Divine Frequency redlines both of those with some sensory overload for fun. You are powerful. You are terrifying. You are in constant screaming danger and everything hurts.

MASSIVE news for the GameMaker game engine... Starting January 1, 2027 GameMaker can be used completely free for commercial game development on Desktop, Mobile and Web using the new GMRT. gamefromscratch.com/gamemaker-go... #gamedev #indiedev #GameMaker

2077 has great combat music

Something's in the air today...a funk for sure. Seeing a lot of people feeling bad. Take care of yourselves out there. Buy a candy bar, take a shower, drink water, rest. Self-care is the best care. Stay loved. 💚

You may not like League of Legends, but we lost a World Champion. He was only 31... RIP Cyanide

Owlboy's 10th anniversary livestream kicks off this Sunday! Oh yeah, and we're dropping an update-patch for the game on the same day! #owlboy #indiedev #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJGq...

"Political participation is like doing dishes. You may not like it, but if you don't do it, maggots show up."

Making an alt account to separate interests, but now interests starting to meld back together.

Just watched Heretic. The pacing felt a bit off, but I did like the visuals and the overall story. Like I had to pause for a moment and saw the movie was already nearing the end... It felt like the movie had just begun!

One thing I banged the drum on HARD at Blizzard and people seemed to just not believe me: gamers want to know the people behind their games. "But teams led by divas are terrible." Yes. Do MORE "meet the devs". "People who end up in video game press are insufferable" Yes, do MORE "meet the devs."

I've been opening up more and recovering what I buried inside. My biggest fear? What I buried is the thing people do not like the most i.e. the very reason why I probably buried it in the first place.

This is exactly why I made a Next Fest list that hides every demo whose developer declared AI. 2,545 of them gone, 4,557 left. It can't catch the ones that lie, but it clears a lot of the pile playfeed.games/nextfest

this person is 100% correct, and is why I l've been AI posting harder lately. friendly fire happens during civil strife, I've chosen to accept it and move on. when the dust settles from the battle over "who controls the ai," folks are going to need trustworthy sources of AI info that are open.

Finding an Archipelago mod in Steam Workshop is like finding gold. 🩷 Makes the whole setup process so much easier.

I guess it's a day of "high school jams" I guess. Haha

Not the same thing at all, but a solution that exists right now is Steam Curators! The amazing @lyndseyluvs.me put together a Starter Pack of some of the best around! bsky.app/starter-pack...

Reading that a lot of people struggle to find a game, especially in the sea of slop bombarding Steam. I highly recommend following Steam Curators! Here is a starter pack of several notable ones 🩷🖤 go.bsky.app/TdgXB7k

🦨it's really cool seeing people use avatars we drew forever ago, and also kinda funny because our art has inadvertently ended up in several youtube videos just because they use that art on patreon and then the creator shows their patreon supporter's avatars

The takes about teams not being the same they were 10 years ago, so nothing is lost when a developer is completely shut down are *wild*

Horse Around, Find Out - a horse racing and horse-fighting game with rollback netcode Very silly, and no AI in sight.

Dragon Age: Origins is one of the greatest games ever made. Losing BioWare is an indescribable tragedy for the game industry. In related news, I miss the era of beautiful, full color physical strategy guides.

Next Fest is really demonstrating the curse of the idea guy. Anyone can have an idea or steal one, but to make it good means living with it, working it, exploring it and finding what makes it work and is special. Or you can just have Claude shit out slop no one wants to play. Valve always needs

EL PASO, ELSEWHERE 2 DEMO OUT NOW!!! 🔫 NEW GUNS 🧛 NEW ENEMIES 🦇 NEW ABILITIES store.steampowered.com/app/3642020/...

had the pleasure of playing @uglycoal.bsky.social 's Selkie's Salvage&Co. for Steam Nextfest and getting to clean up the ocean while flying my own Selkie themed jolly roger!

I really can't talk this demo up enough. I didn't really know what the "game" was going to be, I just knew the concept. And a time-loop based, "roguelite" imsim is such a rad way to present this. I can't wait to see the full game

The Bagman Looks like a very cool Clock Tower inspired horror game, very nice pixel art

what if a muppet was a milf... crazy right haha. anyway here's Honey

Hey wait a second this isn't Mario Party!!

Thank you @mapquest.com i just couldn't figure it out. YAY!!! now i have it!

Off to see people paddle boat pumpkins today. It's exactly what it reads like 🤣

TRUKK GAEM GO!!!

I made a new free web game! You interpret signs from the spirits to answer silly questions!! The spirit can be an other person (like ur friend), so you can test ur spirit communication skills as a team (or play solo too)! it works on mobile and pc! qaqelol.itch.io/psychic-side... #Godot #GameDev

oh yeah now i'm convinced cheers sweeno

a shitty situation all around, but the article also mentions there were going to be streaming bans a-la sega w atlus games, making this an interesting collision between the control freak nature of jp media companies and the lawless land of vibecoding. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

How do you even survive as an indie in the current landscape? This is insane.
