my most anticipated game release of 2026 🖤 (including, and just ahead of, my own game release this year)

a tale in two parts, i call it: "unsolicited garbage and reply"

Two screenshots combined into a single image, with an excerpt of an email I received on the top, and my reply to it on the bottom. The text in each, respectively is, "As a game developer, I want to invite you to the first AI Gaming Conference" and "As a game developer against AI, it's impact on our planet, culture, and society, I want to invite you to fuck right off."

my contribution to #OpeningNightLive which must be taken with absolute seriousness

a spoof of a youtube thumbnail with a screenshot from the d&d gameplay trailer for "Warlock," test that says "failure already?!" and a nerdy meme face with a speech bubble with the text "um, actually, you see, she was introduced on stage as tasha, “ancient witch queen,” but according to the lore, after she was an archmage of oerth and became witch queen, she went by iggwilv, and even in that time she wasn’t known to sponsor warlocks, at least not until she became an archfey and created the domain of delight called prismeer, then started going by the alias zybilna instead, in fact, her birthname wasn’t even tasha, it was natasha, and her adoptive fey hag mother, baba yaga, called her this, except for a brief period where she went by hura of ket, and although even as zybilna she is sometimes referred to as iggwilv, she should have abandoned the name tasha entirely"

"Indie games" (itself an overly broad term at this point) aren't going to "save" games; there's a whole list of factors at play with what's going on, but man At this point independently produced games feel like about the only ethical option.

despite not being on this list, I’d like to acknowledge that Nobody Crown’s official statement on generative AI is: “Fuck it so far into the ground that it isn’t even a footnote in the history of human experience.”

The often requested and much anticipated update for "Feline Forensics and the Meowseum Mystery" is finally here! 🐭 Some small keyboard adjustments to match, but controller use remains the same. Update available on all platforms.🖱️ Patch notes here: steamcommunity.com/app/2945150/... 🐱

In the pursuit of hitting a big milestone on "Feline Forensics" sales, and more importantly, in celebration of all the other AMAZING indie games you can get right now during the Steam Summer Sale, here are my personal recommendations~! 🌞

Have you ever wanted to be a cat in a suit, serving as the detective of a murder turned museum heist, uncovering injustice but also the harrowing effect of capitalism on creativity? Omg, that's crazy, I have the game for you, and it's 15% in the Steam Summer Sale: s.team/a/2945150/

how quickly do you think Capcom would sue me into oblivion, and would that be a good marketing strategy ⚖️ (for legal purposes, this is just a fun design exercise) #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #gameart

Eric | Nobody Crown @nobodycrown.com · 13/06/2026

It took me 2.5 years to do it, but I released my first full game on Steam a month ago. It's about a cat detective solving a murder and a heist in a museum... I think it's neat. You should purchase and play it~! 🖤🔎 #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

The last 3 years are gone. I made a video game. The last 5 days went by in a blink. I released a video game. People loved it. I fixed it anyway. I woke up today knowing that nothing needed my immediate attention. I cooked breakfast. I can let my wrist pain heal. I hope I can do it again. 💜
