"And it doesn't have to be an amazing game either ... But if you find yourself struggling with getting an audience, try to look for the audience close to you. And when you consider this, keep in mind that it's not just about numbers, but also about people you know." by @sheepolution.bsky.social

We added an accessibility mode to create cutouts by clicking instead of holding. Two valid ways to play our game :) #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

@kerrblimey.bsky.social wrote about the Ludum Dare situation, including my response. By the way, Celeste was not a Ludum Dare entry. It released July 2015, and Ludum Dare was in August. Was for a game jam, but not LD. Celeste: www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=2145 LD 33: web.archive.org/web/20170622...

Mike did not ruin Ludum Dare, that's not what the post is about. At most it's about how Ludum Dare could have been in a better state, and how it's legacy might come to ruin. A legacy that Mike expressed he wishes to continue. I have said my piece. Excited to participate in Ludum Dare this weekend!

A write-up about how I've ruined Ludum Dare. I would have preferred something less hostile and more constructive, but this fits the anger stage of grief. 🤷 Beware some of the comments are sickening, but folks have grievances. Better to air them somewhere than keep them bottled up. 💜 #LDJam #NewLD

I got bored the other day and finally took the plunge into playing around with pico8. I started by writing a custom platformer physics system, and the goal evolved to me trying to handle every notoriously difficult feature people run into. here's one-ways, moving platforms, boxes, rigid carrying...

There should be a documentary on the Metaverse. I can't wrap my head around how such a disaster was ever allowed to happen. How did such a big company struggle to copy an indie game like VR Chat?

You work as a butler, and your boss ordered you to attend an auction to buy some paintings for him. Unfortunately, you overslept. Your solution? Using your arts and crafts to recreate the paintings, of course. #gamedev #indiedev #love2d

We've posted an addendum FAQ to our original blog post about NSFW content. You can read it here: itch.io/updates/upda... Thank you for your patience as we navigate through this. We're upset too. We're doing what we can but there are still many unknowns at this point.

itch.ioUpdate on NSFW contentUpdate July 28th, 2025 : Addendum FAQ We have “deindexed” all adult NSFW content from our browse and search pages. We understand this action is sudden and disruptive, and we are truly sorry for th...

With NSFW + horror you quickly reach the boundaries of the list that itch has provided. A list that is vague because the payment processors keep it vague. Also, being withheld from a final payout is to avoid using payment processors based on said content. This is not Evil Itch stealing your money.

Hey y'all! I just had to remove my horror novel from itch to avoid a permanent and irreversible ban, so UHHH idk where that leaves me but it's definitely building my desire to leave the platform entirely

Maybe look at that industry standard percentage and wonder if it's smart to deprive itch from any revenue share for a change they were pretty much forced to make. You attack a friend by using the reason they are a friend in the first place.
