iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

You might spend weeks or months refining something, only to wonder whether the world will assume it took 30 seconds and a prompt. But players still care about the humanistic art of gaming. You prove it by constantly rejecting artificiality. Keep going. 🎮 #Animation #3dArt

Did I mention one of 'Always in Mind's main collectibles is comic book panels that dig deeper into our main cast of characters? No? You're just finding this out? Well, it's one more thing to be excited about, then! 😉 #IndieDev #Art #CharacterDesign

'Silver Pines' is a verifiable survival horror masterpiece. Gorgeous aesthetics, an engaging, surrealist narrative, and phenomenal voice acting, all wrapped up in one unforgettable package. Indie as hell and proud of it! 🤙 #IndieExcellence #SilverPines

For 'Always in Mind', we want to introduce players to a world where technology isn't at odds with humanity. Tech that's beneficial to society rather than disappointingly harmful. We can't wait to show everyone AiM's vision in full! #IndieGameDev #GameDev #Soon

Your passion for original stories and fresh ideas gives developers like us the courage and financial safety net to keep creating!

Indie lovers, your support means everything. By seeking out and championing games that dare to be different, you’re not just “voting with your wallet”—you’re helping shape the medium's future. #IndieGames #Art #Retro

Fellow devs: don’t let fear dictate the stories you tell or games you create. Fear might protect us from failure, but hope is what drives us toward greatness. The industry needs your voice—your unique perspective, creativity, and authenticity—now more than ever! #IndieGames

We can take risks that would never survive a corporate greenlight meeting. We can tell off-trend stories for players, both fringe and mainstream, looking for something fresh and real.

While today’s games industry issues are undeniable, I believe they also present an opportunity—one rooted in the unique strength of indie games. #MadeWithUnity #GameDev #Physics

'Always in Mind' is about self-discovery—about a boy navigating the depths of his subconscious, searching for meaning in the bonds that define him. His family reflects his own psyche, guiding him toward emotional growth and a deeper comprehension of human nature. #Gaming

Inevitable Studios @inevitablestudios.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Both are valid. Both are hard. But if you’re indie right now, or thinking about it—know that the hustle isn’t just part of the job. It is the job. And in that chaos, there’s opportunity. There’s ownership. There’s heart. That’s the indie way.

If you want to be a hyper-achiever in AAA, hone your craft and become the best at what you do. If you want to be a hyper-achiever in indie, broaden your skills, embrace uncertainty, and learn how to get things done. #IndieDev #GameMaker

We can’t promise the loudest game. Or the fastest. Or the cheapest. But we can promise something real. And sometimes, in a world of loops and gimmicks, real is the rarest trend of all.

As a studio trying to survive in this tumultuous time, our only real strategy is conviction. To keep building the thing we believe in, even when the algorithm doesn’t. #IndieGames #IndieGameDev #Art

Our superpower as indie developers is purpose: building experiences that connect with players, inspiring empathy in a world where boundless fun meets meaningful action. #MadeWithUnity #3DPlatformer #GameDev

It's healthy to ask yourself hard questions about your project, but please be mindful of your headspace. Spiraling into unbridled doubt derails your best intentions, encourages changes that don't move the needle, and corrupts the enthusiastic goodwill of your team.

"Is this game worth making? Did I choose the right platform? Does this mechanic need to be scrapped for a better one? Is my protagonist borderline offensive? Should I have even bothered recruiting this team?" #IndieDev

It's important to step back and see your game for what it is, as opposed to how hard you've worked to create it. Development is a long road, and I have to constantly remind myself to avoid serving my pride when I should be serving the project. #GameDev

Few challenges come close to learning a game engine. Your mastery of the basics allows you to confidently tackle new ideas. Being able to prototype on a whim seems almost godlike, opening new avenues of creativity impossible to explore outside of an interactive simulation. #Indie

But as someone with decades of experience, I want to start offering glimpses into the many wondrous, harrowing aspects of my journey from AAA marketer to the head of an indie team I'm infinitely proud of. Who knows? Maybe you'll learn something along the way! -- Cord

I want to try something a little different! We've used our socials so far to highlight minor and major moments of glory throughout 'Always in Mind's development. #FightingTheGoodFight #IndieGames #IndieGameDev

If AAA is an orchestra, indie is a one-person band trying to score a symphony on a budget, a deadline, and borrowed time. Every role expands because it has to. You don’t just make something look good—you make it work! #IndieLife #IndieGames #WeLoveItAll

But it’s also incredibly rewarding. You see the game evolve with your fingerprints on every inch. You own the result. And when a player connects with what you’ve built, there’s no middleman between you and that joy! 😁 #IndieGames #TheStruggle #ButWorthIt

Fellow indie devs will understand: being a Swiss Army knife can be exhausting. It means you’re constantly outside your comfort zone. You can’t just be the artist, or animator, or writer. You’re the problem solver. The firefighter. The QA department. The pipeline. #IndieGameDev

A certain type of positivity can come off as oblivious or inauthentic. But in this space, where it's been a pleasure to meet and support other indie teams who intimately understand the development struggle, a little "Hell yeah, you're doing the impossible!" goes a long way!

A team that has always had an indie spirit regardless of the scope and budget of their projects. A beacon of hope amid the devastation of constant layoffs and apathetic executives.

They're unapologetically weird and consistently willing to experiment with genre, mechanics, and the ol' Remedy spectacle I've always appreciated!

Inevitable Studios @inevitablestudios.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I've adored Remedy since Max Payne, and to see them grow and evolve -- especially in the current horrific climate of the bigger-budget games industry arena -- is so refreshing.

Inevitable Studios @inevitablestudios.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

If I can break the social media fourth wall for a second, I refuse to let this geek-out moment pass me by! I'm so, so, so excited to get my hands on Control Resonant. I earnestly believe Remedy is one of the most unabashedly creative and artistic studios in the industry!
