I helped make a Steam Sale, and it's right next to Control: Resonant! gdoc.events/sale2026 Fantastic sale filled with games made by people of color from AROUND THE WORLD. Check it out! (And please share it too 😉)
A snapshot of the Steam homepage (slightly scrolled down). Control: Resonant is on the top, then a banner for the Game Devs of Color Expo Steam Sale. Below that are Discounts and events for other various franchises.

I got really emotional tonight about how awesome indie game dev is and how incredible it is that people can make their ideal games into a reality. Please keep working your games, no matter how big or small your progress is. You doing this benefits us all. I'm so proud of you, no matter what. 🥹

Playing a lot more retro stuff right now, and folks, I’m here to tell you we (game developers collectively) forgot a lot of good ideas. By which I mean, Vampirium will contain some innovative stuff as long as you don’t remember the game boy advance.

Game development is partially difficult due to the learning curve, and partially due to learning to manage your time and energy appropriately. It takes a lot of self discipline that I think people forget about. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

Been making huge strides in my development of #GlyphicDesigner, my debut #indiegame title! She's still a little ugly duckling, but the gameplay is really getting there. Been fixing a lot of interesting bugs, and will continue to as I get more playtesters on this. #godot #gamedev #MoondrifterGames

I wanted to write something thoughtful about XBOX's wanton destruction spree of their talent, portfolio, and future - on how XBOX has destroyed so much trust from both of its audiences - from developers and players. But how can I write anything thoughtful about such thoughtless greed?

Xbox in ten years: "Xbox needs a reset. We are spending too much on external tooling and expertise. As a result we are winding down our Unreal teams to begin developing internal rendering technologies that will allow us to deliver games that players will love."

You can now receive work contracts! I dealt with the input puzzle of making sure you could select the papers correctly. It was fun! Contracts are dealt from a pool of options, and is all data driven through JSON dictionaries that are highly editable and extensible! #GlyphicDesigner #indiedev #godot

Just got another major system stood up for my game, which is the contracts system. Clients send you all sorts of work requests. Its up to the player which ones they take and which ones they bin. Some clients are repeat customers with a chain of requests! #indiedev #gamedev

Did a fair bit of work yesterday setting up the less glamorous parts of my indie game but necessary ones. Audio and gamestate managers. Event Bus systems. I learned a lot in setting them up myself for the first time! #solodev #indiedev #godot

Been cooking on my first super serious solo dev project in #godot. Feeling pretty positive about the progress and the speed at which I'm learning new techniques to apply to my game. Really appreciating the resources out there for folks to jump in and get their feet wet! Thanks Godot Community!

Precisely, which is why these new guidelines are extremely upsetting. Much of my private art would fall into this category as Shibari it is often unclear. And I'm not going to write CONSENSUAL on the art that's fucking stupid. These rules are designed to be vague enough to be used to enforce...
