It’s hard to believe, but TOEM released on this day 5 years ago! We made a video to reflect on the past few years and thank everyone who has supported us no matter when you joined us on our journey. Also, TOEM is 90% off on Steam and Nintendo Switch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5NQ...

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

If you're a self-publishing indie dev: - Keep track of the people who write about your games, not just the outlets - Always share the articles and thank the folk involved - Engage with/support journalists OTHER THAN only when you want them to write about you

1/3 of the game industry has lost their job in the last two years. Ubisoft closed two more studios today. Everyone is out of work. To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.

Yeah, I could have friends watch it ahead of time and warn me of which ones to miss. But there's such a community aspect to us watching these things live together. Idk, it kinda makes me sad 😔

Steph H @maplethistles.bsky.social · 07/06/2026
I love gaming so much, but blood and gore makes me physically ill and it makes watching these showcases live incredibly difficult. I kind of miss the days where we had ratings ahead of each trailer so I knew whether or not something was about to make me violently ill while still watching live 🥲
