It’s called ✨dramatic effect✨ 100% an intentional feature to add juice and not at all a bug

I've started a pack for people doing cool or innovative stuff with game narrative. I'll keep adding to it as I remember more amazing games. And as more creators join Bluesky go.bsky.app/8kmdXpP

Yea it’s never easy juggling mental health with life stuff. Something I still struggle with sometimes. Idk what your work life’s like but might be worth putting a recurring 10 min private meeting in your work calendar to step away from your desk?

Other people. Pitch some fellow devs or close friends your game and periodically chat to them about ideas, ask for critiques. One of the best things about the indie community is open feedback! :)

Here’s a thread to get you started 😊 plenty of artists and devs here to connect with!

Take breaks, and I don’t just mean a 5 min tea break. If you can, focus on something else for a few days/weeks. Watch films, read books/comics, go on a trip. Get different types of creative input, and that may spark something

A devlog update for our Playdate game Comet☄️ If you like sokoban puzzles, Earthbound, or strange happenings in small towns, take a look 👀

Fighting the game dev urge to ‘whip up a quick prototype for a cool idea’ 🙏🏾 (while my hand is injured so I can’t even work on current projects…) 🤕

If you’ve got 20-30 hours to spare. I’d highly recommend going back to Mass Effect 2. The world, the lore, the characters, the absolutely perfect finale that relies on interpersonal relationships with your crew 🔥

PSA to writers, artists, and basically all game devs: please take breaks. Your tendons and nerves (& mental health) deserve it

Glaze - Protecting Artists from Generative AI

For any artists on here. Seems like bsky allows a*i data scraping of your art -.- Maybe something like Glaze can help fight it?

An extremely cringe look at 2009 me, justifying why games are art to my teacher with a ‘feature’ on Maddy Thorson (I don’t think she’s on bsky)

It’s more of an adventure-puzzle game. You talk to people, solve puzzles using your lantern in the dark, and complete quests to find your Brother. Like Earthbound, but with Sokoban puzzles instead of combat
