Have you played the new demo of Cosmo Cargo? No? Well, here are a few solid arguments - inspired by FTL - modern & accessible autobattler - more than 1h+ of content already - support indie devs but most importantly… - there's a little weasel in the ship! 💖 #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

First day done, two things: * I am just a simple producer, I find joy in documenting, making a prioritized list of user stories and doing them one by one * I imposed myself to only work on this 5h/day max, but oh damn the sirens of the scope creep are calling me

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties. The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized. Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

Calling for game devs advice: I'm thinking about writing a small paper on the Overton Window concept applied to game development studios. Would it be interesting? Basically How production methods are accepted by teams depending on culture, maturity of development and just current trends sometimes.

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

A timeline visually representing the advice from my post, emphasising how dramatically and reliably having more time, with a testable build, converts to your game being better and your studio being safer.
