Despite what they want you believe, you CAN own a game. If you buy Cake Maker off itchio, we give you the exe. You can put that on a disc or thumb drive and own it forever. bsky.app/profile/mike...

We pushed an update the other day that fixed issues affecting the "Locked In" and the "Margarehta, Martha and Astrid" achievements on Steam. Should be good now. If you own the game through itchio this did not impact your experience.

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.

In the Super Mario Galaxy games, the staff credits text is always loaded into RAM despite not being needed until the ending. While horribly inefficient, this is inadvertently heartwarming as the games appear to honor their creators by keeping them in memory at all times.
