Has anyone started a company solely to experiment with the idea of answering every single cold email they'd receive positively?

What're some games out there whose visual restraints define the art style? I'm hesitant to say 'minimal art style' here but if that helps, consider it. Games like Mini Motorways, SPACEPLAN, Sunflowers, many .io type games (Slither.io Agar.io especially).

I want a companion game to Big Walk that is the Big Hang and its just a small area made for hangin' with a bunch of social toys and things to chill on. I'd host every work call and 1:1 catch-up in there.

Finished Big Walk with my gaming group yesterday. Best of that genre we’ve played, and one of my favourite games in decades. Play it end to end with the same group if you can. You’ll land on feelings games don’t usually give you, but life does. I woke up still emotional about what we did together

no co-op game has ever put all the players into the same emotional wavelength so intentionally and effortlessly - it feels as if we all took a psychedelic substance at exactly the same time, experiencing the same joy, and being closer for it

Gotta catch ‘em all. There’s an app called Spot that pings you when a plane, the ISS, a train, or a tracked sea creature is passing nearby. React fast enough and you AR-snap a photo straight into your collection. I’m nearly on my 80th plane and it’s been four days.

Organizing a disorganized space remains my #1 way to destress. Batteries. Tape. Furniture pads. Erasers. Stud finder. Cable conduits. Key caps. Magic the Gathering decks. Watch straps. Tape measure. Tylenol. All of it. Everything. Stored in cubbies. Snug as a bug and I am calm.

My dream game experience launched today: an online PvE co-op action game within the Astroneer universe. A game about community, connectivity, selflessness, and generosity. Today it is out in early access on all platforms and I can't wait to see where the ESS Starseeker goes next.

If you missed it. We announced that STARSEEKER: Astroneer Expedtions is out in early access on June 11th. Here’s our first Field Report (development mini docs!). The ESS Starseeker is, to me, the main character of the game. It’s great to finally talk about. youtu.be/UuBRdyPPQm0?...

Starseeker is out June 11th on all platforms in early access. The earliest doodle I could find in a notebook was dated May 20th, 2019. I've been thinking about this game for 7 years almost to the day. And now its out in a few weeks????

What is an "indie game" in 2026? Studio independence? Budget? Team size? Execution quality? Style? All of the above? None of the above?

Making video games for a living means you get to say "throbber" as a professional to other professionals and no one is allowed to laugh.

Where I get concerned is what does Claude/AI learn about 3D modeling itself in pursuit of asset prompting. Sigh. www.blender.org/press/anthro...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 A slow burn with stellar animation and art. I couldn’t help but think about Cairn when I watched. Mountaineering being the obvious connection but more so in how it unpacks obsession and dedication; if you’ve ever stubbornly needed to finish something at high cost(s), this will resonate.

Spencer built our key art entirely in Unreal Engine 5, something we’ve wanted to try for quite some time. It turned out amazing and is one of my favourite things we’ve ever made. (The Miro board of thumbnails and doodles we did for this is Art in of itself. We’ll share it one day!)

The air warms up for a day and I’m immediately nostalgic for my younger days; bike riding to Blockbuster Video to rent a PS1 and some games with money I earned from my paper route. Stopping for some Orbitz on the way home. Ooh, mom is going to Zellers, I’m going to check out the GI Joes.

Last week was a dream. After years of doodling and noodling, seeing people dive into these planetary expeditions as a space station crew was incredible. Huge thanks to everyone who tested and shared feedback; we are already refining and improving. I am so proud of System Era. Onward! 🚀

Last night I rolled credits on Cairn. Finishing this journey felt like closing a favorite book. It is a 10/10 to me and a game I will be carrying with me for a very long time. The feeling I'm left with right now is it feels like a rare find.

The railings and curved bounding boxes in action. #indiedev For those new to this, I am making foundational tech for my new big game in The Falconeer franchise " Ancient Waves". But I might release this as its own 'cozy' nautical ship editor also. When I make up my mind, I'll let you all know.
