New character drop: Chicken + Cake. Name’s still baking, but it’s a defender card—because if you’ve ever met chickens, you know they defend their turf like pros. I should know - I have 4 chickens who basically own me. #indiegame #gaming #gamers #chickens #quirkimon

We see #Web3 as another tool in the gamer’s arsenal. Like in-game currency, it can be used for good or bad—it depends on how it’s handled. For us, Web3 is about exploring ways to give #gamers more control & enhance their experience. #indiegame #gaming quirkystudios.substack.com/p/crypto-isn...

Hope everyone had a great holiday if you celebrated. We spent time perfecting some of our characters. Meet Coffee Rat - in game name tbd. I thought naming kids was bad enough, trying to name over 200 characters = help us. #indiegame #gamingcharacters #gaming #coffeerat

The Real Cost of Making a Game: It’s More Than Just Money
When people think about making a game, the first question they often ask is, “How much does it cost?” While the financial side of game development is a hot topic, the truth is, the real price tag goes...

We lucked out with our artist. Now we have the "hard" part - naming characters. This has to be my fav. A whoopie cushion chicken. #indiegame #artistsrock #imgladwehavehim #gamingcharacters #indiegamedev #gamers #tcg #chickens

In a world obsessed with instant gratification, making an indie game on a shoestring budget is a special kind of rebellion, fueled by questionable sanity. quirkystudios.substack.com/p/the-long-g... #IndieGame #gaming #substack #indiegamedevs #marketing #coffeeneeded

The Long Game: Building Games in a World of Instant Gratification
If you’ve ever tried explaining to someone that making a game takes years, not weeks, you’ve probably been met with the same reaction I get: wide eyes, a pause, and then a polite but confused, “huh ca...

1. Been pondering about gaming communities & why we feel so at home on @bsky.app Think about it - gaming communities thrived on shared experiences, problem-solving, & teamwork. They weren’t just about shouting opinions or chasing likes—they were about genuine connection. #gaming #indiegames

I love Milanote. It helps my crazy brain make sense of all the random thoughts I have going on. It's a really, really awesome tool, and you can get it free, so it's awesome for folks on a budget (or no budget)! #milanote #gamedev #gaming #freetools #indiegamedevs

This is a hard conversation to have in #gaming but it needs to happen. I've heard women say they cannot be streamers because they feel they are not attractive enough. This ain't right. Let's fix this. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/vide...

Half of gamers are women. Why do so many hide their gender while playing?

We like couches & we like gaming (also love snacks but Rhys didn't mention snacks). In fact 2 of the family are sat down right now playing #Roblox together on the couch. We want families playing our game together, & to get rid of the old fashioned narratives surrounding gaming. #gamedevs #indiegame
