I'm quite tired of being sent swagless vibe coded games - particularly when they're strategy/management ones which are ALL flat dull interface. But *occasionally* we get a teachable moment out of it. Here are the best moments from Tuesday's INDIES UNDER THE KNIFE. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cbo...

If this looks like your thing, then yeah, you should play it cause it's dirt cheap. Also fits to the halloween vibe too.

Probably a bit presumptuous to hope that my self diagnosis is correct enough to warrant medication but I would so love to have a decent level of productivity outside of work.

Btw the multiplayer is still active and you can find a match fairly quickly, despite being a million years old and buried under Andromeda and LE.

76. The Mitchells vs. the Machines Very good movie even if the style and the narrative has become pretty stock by this point.

PencilManners/DoodleDud @doodledud.itch.io · 28/09/2026

75. The Last Voyage of the Demeter Pretty mediocre. Has an interesting setup but doesn't capitalise on it at all. Even when the characters figure out what a Vampire is they still wait until night to do things because we're just blindly following the steps of a slasher fic.

This game is tremendously inspirational to me personally, as a testament to what a solo developer can do. It really captures the Ocarina of Time style atmosphere, but it's also very much doing its own thing (thank hell!).

Carter's Quest is legit one of the greatest accomplishments to come out of the solo-dev scene and the fact that something so spectacular, as game, as narrative, as experience, might never be completed because of lack of attention is an indictment on the way we talk about and engage with indie games.
