Could not be happier for @evangibbs.bsky.social , one of the best people I’ve met in gamedev. Also, this game rules.

There are a whole bunch of fantastic projects in here I would never have seen if I wasn't building this pack - it's now reached over 200 devs. They're all worth a follow, but if mass-following isn't your style it's even just worth checking the replies in the thread. #Gamedev

Are you the kind of halfling that feels guilty after hitting Second Breakfast and Elevenses a bit too hard? The Wyndfinder has a Character Portrait just for you! #indiedev #gamedev
A halfling with a paunch, whose facial expression and posture suggests they aren't happy about it.

So, what do y’all do while waiting for steam to approve a playtest build? My choice is apparently cram a giant feature in last minute. Seems smart.

Blue Bottle Games, as a policy, does not use generative AI. It's something we've discussed as a team, weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately, we decided it was not for us. Recently, while chatting with a colleague, she mentioned it was useful hearing our reasoning. So: Sharing time! 1/12

I went to PIG Con by @pigsquad.com this weekend. (My firm was even a sponsor!) I spent almost the entire time on Saturday on the show floor playing games and talking to the developers. Here's some of the highlights of what I got to check out.

PIGCON vibes were immaculate. It felt like we were all just hanging out at a friend's house playing video games and talking. The showcase was fantastic, I spent too much money at artist alley. The LIVE T SHIRT PRINTING. The talks!! The music performances blew my socks off. Special stuff!

Haha sometimes! Not much of one, to be sure, but I at least made more time to ask a volunteer to cover for me so I could walk around.
