Nazih Fares | Wishlist The Arab League of Misfits

Our Steam wishlist for The Arab League of Misfits is live: go.arabmisfits.com/steam Nearly 14 months of work since May 2025, and without publisher backing, your support means everything. Please wishlist the game and share it, and we will showcase it at Gamescom next week if you want to meet up.

Nice little update to Bluesky that is these little links buttons. Just implemented @arabmisfits.com ones

Between private equity closing studios, clueless CEOs thinking they can replace human skills with genAI, and the lack of affordable graphics card and RAM (thanks to genAI) - our video game industry is losing the ability to make and play the damn games.

Did Bluesky remove the "followed by" tiny line on profile to show mutuals on someone's account?

Tune in for the panel youtu.be/g3nsaIJnXJY?...

Endless greed strikes again and yet watch Andrew Wilson exceed the 40 MILLION DOLLARS COMPENSATION PACKAGE in the next earning call.

Every card in The Arab League of Misfits carries a piece of our culture, history, and even nature. Today we highlight "The Voice of Conscience," inspired by the #Palestinian Sunbird (the national bird of the country), representing freedom across borders. #indiegames

As an amateur bird watcher, I wish I could say I've seen these in real life, but sadly didn't get the chance. I wanted to honor this bird, especially after learning the story of how the colonial entity tried to appropriate the national Palestinian bird for their own. #indiegames

Salut Paris ! I'll be in town with the family until next week. Hopefully the kiddo will get to see this government fall live

we don’t use ai on nimrod campbell and the laboratory of yakub, we use ducktales animators

Why do we keep on doing this? Praising a 'small core team' for a game with 1100+ people in the credits is incredibly misleading. This PR narrative hurts, hides the massive shadow workforce of outsourced developers and testers, and sets impossible standards for actual indie teams.

A horrible uninformed take. Having worked at a co-dev studio, that next contract doesn't always come and you die the same death as you would if the audio laid off people. The main studio just doesn't have the PR from it. The Hollywood model has unions and benefits and protections. This does not.

Listen, Kenney is a gem for this industry. I will protect them with my life.

Did you know that wishlisting our game wards off the evil eye and keeps the aunties happy. It also happens to be the single best way to help us push The Arab League of Misfits into full production. Give us a #wishlist will ya: go.arabmisfits.com/steam #indiegames

You know, if only 1% of all of our dev's team followers wishlist the game, we'll make it into a nice juicy number. C'mon that's just 66 people on my end 🙏

Happy to take part in @wlovegames.bsky.social for the second time. I'll be bringing a panel focused on how you can implement undeserved culture in all aspects of game development, by using the example of our work on Le Cabinet du @savoirludique.com's @arabmisfits.com . #indiegames

With Arabic and French being one of our core target languages for the game, we figured it was about time we localized the website. Arabic: arabmisfits.com/ar French: arabmisfits.com/fr #WishlistWednesday #indiegames

So I'm a little bit guilty of having quite a backlog of books to read, but why didn't anyone tell me how good @aidanmoher.com's book Fight, Magic, Items is?! I'm amazed at the level of "wtf moments" in the JRPG industry. Anyway grab it if you can, worth it fightmagicitems.rocks

Fresh out of the press, two new localized versions of the @arabmisfits.com website because I can't just wait for Steam to add Arabic support to their store. #indiegames

The Arab League of Misfits is built on the DNA of our Arabic culture: from devastating history to unforgettable viral memes! Today’s reveal is Shut Up Your Mouse, based on the viral 2014 video, illustrated by our Art Director @theahmedraafat.bsky.social. #indiegames #egypt

There are many more pop culture references in the game, and this one is high on my list. Don't forget to wishlist our game on go.arabmisfits.com/steam

J'ai le plaisir de vous annoncer que je prendrai la parole dans le cadre de l'événement "Game Changers: RDV du jeu vidéo engagé et politique !" Trop content de revoir @skywilly.bsky.social et bien d'autre personne a l'événement.

I love these little inner jokes in the making of our game... In today's episode of #gamedev bug fixes: MATH IS HARD featuring @zein.games (we're both really shit at math)

I know it was a given, but this ADHD powered dev - even though being one of the first to sign the pledge - completely forgot to support the initiative as our studio. As the great Nelson Mandela said: "We won’t be free until Palestine is"

I've been really enjoying every moment of discovering these pitches, and truly feel like this new generation of devs are even more talented than they ever were. Really wish them all the best for finding a potential publishing/investment partner at Paris Game Biz

Colonial powers created many of the problems we Arabs face today. The Arab League of Misfits reappropriates those exact themes for our satirical card game, and one fine example is how we transformed the Sykes-Picot map into the Insult card Borders Drawn by a Toddler #TrailerThursday #indiegames

The ongoing violence in the Arab world nowadays traces back to arrogant colonial powers carving up our homes. This card is a good example of how we designed some to mock the absurdity of the Sykes-Picot agreement and other devastating historical acts, as a necessary act of defiance. #indiegames

For the cost of 100 liters of water and destroying a small forest in the process, you too can make broken shit. Anyway shift to Godot if you haven't yet, it'll be worth it.

3 years of gaslighting and whataboutism, and even after all the facts, ICJ arrest warrants, and continuous live stream of a genocide in Palestine and Lebanon... We're still going to be fed Zionist propaganda all day today.

Observing these playtests gave us valuable feedback on our interface readability and core mechanics, especially as I was the only French tester for this build... But my favorite part was discussing technical design and the indie development process with everyone who visited our booth. #indiegames

Our Lead Programmer, Zein Okko, launched a 50% off sale for their game: Soulblaze. If you enjoy monster taming combined with deckbuilding, grab a copy on Steam or Itch.io to support their independent work.

Great event so far! The Angoulême dev scene is really nice, and got some solid feedback on our game. #indiegames

Did you know that missing credits can ruin careers, yet countless devs are excluded? Our alpha build for The Arab League of Misfits has a complete credits sequence. It might not be much for some, but all of our contributors (and of course licenses) get attribution on day one. #indiegames #ALoM
