Proud to announce our HARDSHIP FUND: uvw-cwa.org/hardship-fun... If you've been recently laid off and need support, we got you.
A red poster with a white logo (a polygonal heart lifted by 2 hands) and the title "United Videogame Workers – Hardship Fund", followed by this copy:

"UVW-CWA stands for every game worker: for those still employed and fighting for union contracts and those who have been callously treated as disposable by executives who've never shipped a title. 

We are proud to announce our launch of a hardship fund for game workers across the US and Canada who have been subjected to layoffs. If you are a game worker in need of support, please apply."

Below the text is a link to the initiative (as in the post) and the UVW-CWA logo.

Easter Rising Refresh! Bean Sidhe v3.0 is out - now with controller support and incredible new art that I may or may not (I may) have gotten a giant tattoo of. Here's to living in honor of the dead. #indiegames #gamedev #gamesfromireland #indiedev
Announcement with two cartoon cats, a transgender flag, and a Palestinian flag, reading the following:

BANSHEE
Easter Rising Updates
New UI art & design
Controller functionality
Steam Deck compatibility (pending review)

Available on Steam and Itch.io

All proceeds still going to folks that need itAnnouncement reading the following:

DEV NOTES
New UI art and layout! For returning players, it shouldn’t be a huge change, but the menu system is cleaner and prettier. Custom art provided by db_atlas from Black Altar Tattoo Studio.

Xbox controller compatibility added. DualSense controller also works, touchpad prompts just don’t accurately reflect PlayStation touchpad symbols.

With controller capability, Bean Sidhe is now playable on Steam Deck! We’ll be pursuing verification as soon as possible. For now please use the Gamepad With Joystick Template in your controller settings.

What's that? Sealbee's own Gamebreaker General has his own project? Well well well! If you enjoyed the time manipulation aspect of Dishonored 2 or the concept of shifting genres mid-stride, you'll want to give Duality a shot.

As the hype of @imirt.bsky.social 's Irish games event winds to a warm glow, it seems like a great time to look at Bean Sidhe's stats over the past year: Downloads: 280 Revenue: ~$800 Folks helped (rent, living expenses, medical care): 3 Not bad for a bunch of tired queers. Here's to the future!

Will I have controller compatibility and the new menu art ready in time? No probably not, but this is still going to be a very cool event I am honored to participate in :) Can't wait to see what everyone made!

The best part about game design is revisiting old code to add features, forgetting that you already solved a problem, then solving it again in the exact same way and being just as proud of yourself as you were the first time. Controller/steam deck compatibility for Bean Sidhe coming soon I guess!

MimicsNMisfits is one of our loudest supporters and active teammates. If you're looking for truly unique, thoughtful, and compassionate storytelling, give Duality a try. Where else can you be a 1600s pirate and a cyberpunk queen in the same game?

First batch of direct aid sent to Nebula and Ahmed. No charity oversight or fees, just people helping people. Thank you so much to everyone who's donated for the game so far - it's a small act of resistance, but it's truly making a difference.

You know what the coolest part about being a self-managed indie dev is? You can take a week off to recuperate and nothing falls apart (but you do log back in to 500+ Discord messages). Happy Monday!

"But where was your launch day bug?" you may ask. Because we all know, there's ALWAYS a launch day bug. Apparently it was in the donation button for the full walkthrough. It's fixed now, and I get to be annoyed about a bug that WASN'T my fault. Win/win!

"What's she working on now," you ask? Hell if I know, but it walks, runs, creeps, and has a quest log. So probably either something about judicial reform or hostile architecture in tech. You know - easy, chill stuff. #gamdev #solodev #indiedev

What a difference a talented concept artist and lighting designer makes, huh?
A scene from a videogame, dark orange trees with a path leading off into a mystical forest. The lighting is dim and the contrast is difficult to make out.The same scene as before but with vibrant greenish blue lights guiding the player along the pathway and into the forest. The colors show much more vividly.
