All uses of AI are costing someone… this sucks as the Game UI database is such a valuable resource.

Having even just 1 community member actively playing and giving feedback on your game makes such a huge difference. It's so much easier to stay motivated than working in a vacuum. #indiedev

This Japanese indie developer is making a dungeon crawler with some of the best 1-bit art that I have seen! It's called Algolemeth, looks good?

We spent 2 weeks working on an April Fools joke. All dialogue references were changed to Winston, all appearances had a moustache, and the whole Steam page was rebranded. Was it worth it? Financially, not at all. Seeing the wave of 😭 reacts then 😂 come in on Discord: Priceless.

❗ANNOUNCEMENT❗ After careful consideration, we've made the very hard decision to rebrand our game so it's not about Winnie. Winnie's Hole has a NEW TITLE, and a NEW MAIN CHARACTER! We hope Winnie fans worldwide will now appreciate our fully original indie game.

After 2 months of work, the Clair Obscur Expedition 33 video is here. I interviewed most of the game's senior leadership team asking one simple question: how did you do this? Their answers were inspiring and moving, and it's no surprise that COE33 is as remarkable as it is: youtu.be/mXLOLgC2V2Q?...

It's finally (fantasy) out! 🌵⚔️✨🐤 My work for Summon: Yojimbo is out, found in the Counter Blitz commander deck for #MTGxFINALFANTASY! I had so much fun with this merc-for-hire, and I hope y'all do too! 💰🪙 AD: Vic Ochoa #mtg #ffx #ff10

Yojimbo from Final Fantasy X stands proud and stoic with his companion dog Daigoro. We see them from a low angle, and see the blue sky with a moon still visible. Lavendar coloured petals fall from the sky, and mixed in with coins (gil). Yojimbo prepares to draw his famous blade, poised to strike.

A room full of monitors and devices above an L shaped desk, its dark except for light emitted by a wall of monitors to the right.

An art deco inspired hotel lobby with a staircase that leads up out of frame, past a green door.

A phone booth next to a curved road with an inner city background.

A wire fence in the foreground in front of an ominous windowless brutalist building. In the background is an abstracted city skyline blending into the clouds in the sky.
