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

Being able to swap the green for purple or blue or some other solid color would be cool. Not necessary at all, but it would be neat! Themes for the ui would be cool too but again probably not necessary

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."

Congrats on putting out a game! No matter how small finishing something and seeing others interact with it is such joy! I'm working on my first indie game myself now! It's fun to look back at my ffxiv community at see others driven in the same way!

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

The mechanic in question is a click and drag movement of papers on a desk. Having strange issues with it picking up multiple pieces of paper on the same click and drag. I think I'm not consuming the input quickly enough because I'm waiting on a _process tick instead of handling it in _input. 🤔😅

MAE (Making Glyphic Designer!) @maetheta.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

I was almost asleep when it occurred to me why some of my code had been unreliable for input consumption... gods damn it now I'm very awake again walking through why it would or wouldn't work if I made some changes. #indiedev #gamers #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

Should be fuel the next time I sit down to work. When you work put all that fuel on the fire, but when you need rest don't ignore that. Perhaps your game won't be a magnus opus. But you will never know if you do not fuel the fire to make it. So even rest can be productive, in that it provides fuel.

MAE (Making Glyphic Designer!) @maetheta.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

Bottle that anxiety and turn it back into fuel when you have the health and ability to work. I have spent the last 10 months very sick myself, and I've been wrestling with similar depression. The only way I've ever found to not let it eat me alive is to remind myself that these moments 1/
