Making good out of something bad. Proceeds from Chantey sales until new years will go to research on childhood life-threatening diseases.

So much for putting indies front and center I suppose.

Gortyn Code @gortyncode.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

They've made some amendments after I checked them via email after finding out (way before going myself public and giving them time to respond, a courtesy not extended to me). But those are a little too late - damage is done. Their initial statement is being regurgitated across the web already.

Gortyn Code @gortyncode.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

The mos egregious thing however is that this statement was then released in public, and shared with hundreds of media outlets, before they even talked things over with me.

Gortyn Code @gortyncode.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

Apart from that, they told people on the retraction video statement that their values made them not want any association with ModRetro (basically implying I have none, as I am working with them as my publisher).

Gortyn Code @gortyncode.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

I appreciate the discussion and support. What makes this atrocious in my pov is how the IGAs decided to handle the whole thing. Imply they knew about the game from way back, and becoming aware of the fact after the ceremony aired (as if they only knew about the game from itch and the compo)

Statement on the Indie Game Awards' latest announcement regarding Chantey TL;DR - Chantey's award retracted by IGAs producers over cartridges being produced and sold by ModRetro - Response to a virtue signaling statement by IGAs Director, filled with falsehoods and inaccuracies

I am both honored and beyond excited to share that Chantey and Gortyn Code just became the first inductee into the @indiegameawards.gg Indie Vanguard Class of 2025! A huge 'thank you' to everyone who supported the game along the way! This is fuel in the fire for what's coming next!

🐉 One Year of Dragonyhm 🐉 It's hard to believe that Dragonyhm was released into the world a year ago today - and we’re still blown away by the love, feedback, and support it’s received since day one. Thank you to everyone who's played, shared, streamed, reviewed, and believed in this project…

Fall from Space and its demo have been updated to use the wonderful Camera Plus plugin by @kirbyking186.bsky.social, which has given the game a substantial performance boost over my previous janky solution! Download for your #Gameboy over on @itch.io – joelj.itch.io/fall-from-sp...

Metriya's costume! ⚰️🪢 Stories of the old world are still passed down by some Archendi. There are tales of a desert people who wrap their dead, not as preservation, but rather lest the dead wish to ever return. 🧟‍♀️ #dragonyhm #RPG #modretro #chromatic #haloween #indiedev #indiegame
