I don't remember if I shared these before, here are some mockups the capsule artist (Matías Sniadower) did a couple of years ago for Ship Miner.

🏄‍♀️ Rogue Waves demo out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Xjb... My team and I have been working on a fresh take on the deckbuilder genre. Humor at the front, no card costs, and no violence (unless you count your rival’s passive-aggressive one-liners). #latamgame #roguelike #deckbuilder #surf #gamedev

In mid-2025 Alex Spencer did an incredible preview of Big Walk for Edge, doomed to print purgatory. Been thinking about this vignette of Jake's hand-placing rocks ever since. As the slop wave intensifies, it's just a beautiful depiction of a game made by people who care (and have the time to care).
For the tour's conclusion, we've all gathered
at the central mountain's summit, arriving just as
the sun peeks over the horizon and bathes the
world in pink, syrupy light. Disseldorp is fiddling
with a handheld radio, seeking the perfect station
to complete the mood, while the rest of us pass
around a pair of binoculars and Strasser describes
placing every single rock on the island by hand,
working his way around clockwise. He points out
the areas already done, with an outstretched arm.
"I've gotten to the edge of this valley," he says.
"That's my big job, between now and release."

I get very excited about new gadgets like phones and computers, but arguably the piece of tech that has most improved my life in the last decade is a bidet. I can’t believe they’re not standard in every bathroom!

the actual success of the 'friendslop' genre i think at least partly comes down to just emulating the feeling of loading up a weird surrealist mod of half-life in 2001 and joining a random server for a few evenings and then never playing it again. the genre is just like... y2k internet mod scene.

I have the same laptop (or similar model) and when this happened it was because my hd had died. Sometimes it would boot to windows but after a few minutes it would bsod.

RE that RT.. it’s wild how steam reviews are still so damn important to getting visibility. If you play and like indie games, the most generous and helpful thing you can do is spend an hour popping positive reviews onto anything you like with <500 or so reviews.

There are many things to love about Rami’s top 10 for 2025 but this is one of my favourites.
No market research would've approved a French
j'RPG. No genre coverage graph would've led to PEAK. No player count prediction would've funded a decade-long development cycle for a game about blueprints.
The games you love are built by people who got to dream, and had the resources to back it up.
