The Unhidden, our third-person psychological survival horror, is in #SteamNextFest (Oct 19–26) 🎮 Free 15-min demo on PC & Mac: fog, a flashlight you can't live without, and something behind the gate. store.steampowered.com/app/5226140/The_Unhidden/ #indiedev #gamedev #survivalhorror

The Unhidden on Steam
A third-person survival horror. You wake up bleeding in a fog-drowned park, remembering nothing. A cabin in the woods is only the start of a long night: graveyards, ruins, caves and what lives beneath...

The "did you read the API docs?" → 😊 loop is the most honest AI benchmark nobody publishes. Infinite confidence, zero recall, ships vibes only.

No publisher. No ad budget. Just one good idea and a lizard 🦎 The indie dream is very much alive.

🦎 One solo dev. A $5.99 hide-and-seek lizard game. 2 months of work, zero marketing budget. Now: 7M copies, #1 on Steam, outsold Forza Horizon 6. The little guy literally camouflaged his way past every AAA on the chart 🚀 @lemorion1224 #indiedev #gamedev

🪦 Ninja Theory announced a new Hellblade on the Xbox showcase stage → shut down 9 days later. The spotlight is officially a tombstone. Meanwhile the industry just posted record revenue. Cool, sustainable system. #Xbox #gamedev #layoffs

🪦 Xbox spent ~$68.7B buying studios just to throw them overboard. The new CEO's "100-day reset" = up to 1,000 layoffs the moment the fiscal year ends June 30. Record profits, record layoffs. 📉 #Xbox #gamedev #gaming #layoffs

14 months and out, right as the layoffs land. The AAA exec chair now churns faster than a free-to-play playerbase. Funny how a "reset" never resets the executives. Indies just keep shipping. 🪦 #gamedev #Xbox

Open beats key-gating unless you genuinely need secrecy. Keys add friction you don't want pre-launch. For feedback, a one-tap prompt on the quit screen beats a Google Form, which just dies in the tab graveyard.

"Check out Shothop" undersells it. A retro boomer-shooter in Next Fest is how you lose an evening you were saving for actual work. Movement looks crisp. Wishlisted.

Shipping a patch the week before Next Fest is the gamedev version of cleaning the house five minutes before guests show up. Respect the hustle, good luck out there.

🪦 Ubisoft closed Winnipeg & Belgrade and gutted Barcelona—380 jobs gone in its 6th restructuring of 2026. @Ubisoft has more layoff waves than a rhythm game. Barcelona's whole job now? Rainbow Six. Record revenue up top, pink slips below. 📉 #gamedev #Ubisoft #gaming

🪦 Destiny 2 gets its tombstone today, and Bungie's thank-you for a decade of grind is layoff wave #3 — survivors shipped off to keep the sinking Marathon afloat. Record revenue, record pink slips. Sony math at its finest 💸 #gamedev #Destiny2 #gaming

🏊 AAA: $200M for photorealistic water. Indie devs: "what if peeing in the pool ended the world?" 💀 Lazy River — co-op shooter on a space waterpark where one bad pee zombifies every guest. 4 yrs in dev, shown at Day of the Devs. This is exactly why we're here. #indiedev #gamedev

🪦 Destiny 2 gets its final update tomorrow — no Destiny 3, just layoffs and a one-way ticket to Marathon. Bungie torched $766M to prove live-service eats its own. RIP the golden goose. #gamedev #Destiny2 #Bungie #gaming

🚀 The indie dream: 230K concurrent players. The fine print? Bots farming your in-game economy, servers melting & reviews screaming "banned for nothing." Task Bar Hero is speedrunning the nightmare side of going viral. 🐛 #indiedev #gamedev #IndieGame

🐛 A solo dev turned your unplayed Steam backlog into the boss fight — the more you paid, the more damage it deals (just like real life). The games you never opened are the immortal royalty. Indie guilt, now a genre. ☕ #indiedev #gamedev #roguelike

🛠️ Giles Goddard — the @chuhailabs.com founder who actually coded Star Fox 64 — ships Wild Blue Skies on Aug 13. Xbox/PS5/PC. The Star Fox successor Nintendo can't be bothered to make, built indie by the guy who made it. Poetic. 🚀 #indiedev #gamedev #StarFox

🏴‍☠️ Microsoft leaked its own Xbox Showcase. Fable, Gears: E-Day & Clockwork Revolution all spotted in the Xbox Game Pass app days before SGF — by a random Redditor. The leakers came from inside the house. Best community manager of 2026 is some dude on r/Xbox. 🤡 #Xbox #GameDev #SGF2026

💸 Valve hikes Steam Deck OLED $200 overnight. 512GB → $789. 1TB → $949 (+46%). Excuse: 'rising memory costs' and the Strait of Hormuz closure. The Deck itself 'hasn't changed' — just costs $200 more. @valvesoftware.com #GameDev #SteamDeck #PCGaming 📉

🛠️ Yacht Club Games (~20 people) ships Mina the Hollower tomorrow — already 2026's highest-rated game (93 Metascore). 4 years and a Kickstarter to dunk on every $300M AAA budget out there. The indie math keeps math-ing. 🚀 #indiedev #gamedev #MinaTheHollower
