@sgtm.bsky.social As a big indie game fan, I will take up your challenge and try to do 3 a day. Starting off with Gnosia! It’s a single player social deduction game with great art. The characters have quirks that affect how they approach the social deduction. store.steampowered.com/app/1608290/...

Vampyr, because I will always stan Dontnod's ambitious vampire game, is it flawed? Sure. But there's nothing quite like it, the maudlin atmosphere, the melodrama, Anthony Howell's goated vocal performance as the protagonist, it's magnificent.

Return of the Obra Dinn is one I don't see go on sale very often, but my god what an incredible game! I knew it was going to be special going in, but I didn't realize how elated I'd be at getting the correct solution and that jaunty theme plays, or how invested I'd be in uncovering the story.

Okay, Steam Sale time! Who'd like some recommendations? Let's get the ball rolling with one of my favourite games of 2025, The Séance of Blake Manor! A positively genius detective game steeped in Irish history and mythology with a striking comicbook artstyle and authentic turnip jack 'o lanterns. 🎃

All RIGHT! The Arium: Evolve & Arium Complete Box Set Kickstarter is LIVE. You know what to do. Thanks for helping spread the word. It means so much to a small press games publisher. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ade...

A. Hire @salvaterra.bsky.social to create gorgeous box art. B. Become a Project We Love. B follows A. The logic is simple.

I am taking a much needed vacation but it's the middle of Common Bonds 3's crowdfunding. What if: opportunity? One RT = one vacation pic when I am back on a wifi tonight and/or later. It's gorgeous out here on Quebec's North Coast www.backerkit.com/c/projects/c...

I guess I can say it now: I'm one of the folks hit by the Paizo layoffs. My last day will be in early July. I'm devastated. I love the folks I've worked with the past three years. I love the fans. I love the games we made. If you have an opening for a remote editor, I'd love to hear from you.

To celebrate Pride Month, we're giving away a Steam key for any of our visual novels! 💜 RT to enter 💜 1 winner can pick 1 free Steam key for any of our games (Canvas Menagerie, Asphodelium, etc.) 💜 Ends Friday June 5th midnight CT See our full catalogue here: store.steampowered.com/developer/cr...

Celebrate pride by sending money to trans people in need. We’re one of the poorest demographics facing some of the highest employment discrimination and public life is increasingly being placed out of reach for many of us.

This Pride Month, I would like to share that I have been unemployed since I graduated college back in August. Trans people have such a hard time finding jobs, and if you’d like to hire a qualified proofreader and sensitivity reader, please consider reaching out to me.

Stuff you can do as an ally 1. Send queer people money and/or give us jobs 2. Get in between queer people and those who intended to do us harm, physically if necessary, but there's a million other ways. 3. Boycott companies that platform oppressors 4. Honestly examine your own gender & sexuality

Want to win a copy of the game at launch!? Follow and share the post below - and we'll draw five names for a Steam key when the game is available later this year. GL! x bsky.app/profile/pant...

I am one of those people. Technically I am paid for my theater work, but it is technically a volunteer position and not a job and it is not a living wage. I graduated college at 21, am on the board of two nonprofits, and yet nowhere wants to hire me because I’m autistic.

Behold!! #umamusume

#gamewriting Isn't always easy, especially when tackling heavier topics. The incredible Heidi McDonald has shared some of her tips for practicing self-care while making a sad game:

Also quoting this to say that Obra Dinn was the game that really got me into indie games and also is so good that it changed my sleep phase schedule and I go to bed at 6 am now.

Quoting this before the sale ends to say that this is my favorite game of 2025! I adore the character writing, mythology, and mystery! And there’s canon queer people. (But can’t tell you who because spoilers.)

If you or anyone you know is looking for a tradigital 2d animator, I’d appreciate the chance. Looking for new mid-to-longer term projects mainly. Previews of some of my work here: camillecee.weebly.com Reposts appreciated, with love, increasingly urgent anxiety and thanks!

I am currently working on writing a choose your own adventure game where five people are kidnapped and forced to play a social deduction game with their lives on the line. It features trans characters and an exploration of queerplatonic relationships. #QueerWritersChat

It's #PortfolioDay again and I'm urgently looking for remote work in game writing/narrative design‼️ I’ve been an indie dev for 10 years and I have worked with clients in the industry since 2019. I also create the Twine Grimoire and volunteer with IFTF. 🪄 gcbaccaris.com 🪩 patreon.com/gcbaccaris

I will probably post my GOTY list sometime in January because I bought a bunch of stuff from the Steam sale I want to try, but Seance of Blake Manor will most likely be my GOTY because it was made in a lab for me.

If any of you little miscreants *DARE* to come into our Fiction Factory Games Discord with **PRONOUNS** ...we will HUG you and SUPPORT you and it may go on for some time discord.gg/gaCcH2N

the game awards never feature anything close to visual novels so I'm going to recommend 20 indie visual novels
