“There are good indies, and there are timeless indies” This $%^&ing rules. Beaming at @lejenk603.bsky.social preview of Resthaven. Certainly helps quiet the anxiety demons as we head into Next Fest and launch October 29! Read the issue cover to cover, and subscribe to Indie Corner. They’re great.

Why use constraints? Developer @insertdisc5 walks us through using constraints as a tool to make your games "juicy." With just a few ingredients, #gamedev can really narrow in and focus on a core idea. One example Adrienne shares is Serre, a game made during the Yuri Game Jam 2017! #GDoCExpo2026
