@junebugrocks.bsky.social's game, The Walks We Used To Take is nominated for an AGDA. Our game, Queer Man Peering won an AGDA. Both are little weirdos with hearts of gold, so we put them into a double feature bundle, along with a special price for this MIGW season.

Doggy Don't Care is my love letter to video games 💌 Don't pass it off as a kids game. It means a lot to me and has inspiration from games that impacted me over the years. Spoiler warning for Doggy Don't Care ⚠️ #doggydontcare #indiegames

This is how I spent my Saturday night. Poring over black & white printouts. We send the first issue of CONTINUE to print TODAY. I've worked on hundreds of magazines, this feels different. This is what we dreamed into reality. I think we've created something special. Can't wait for you to see.

I’m so bad at promo but I’ve been doing a series called ✨The Indie Game Gathering✨ to rant about games with demos out that you should play (so I have someone else to talk to about them)! It’s been a great outlet for yapping, dev chats and remembering the joy gaming can bring youtube.com/@geeofdee

"So in summary: using AI for coding led to depression, apathy, existential dread, and worse software. Not good.

How about this. For anyone who wants to argue this kind of point. I go without using an LLM for a month and you go without food for a month. I promise you that growing any kind of meat or crop needs a lot of water as a resource. But we'll see who throws in the towel first.
