I may not have had much content lately, however, the Release Date Calendar has continued to be updated regularly. I now have release dates for indie games for every month this year!
Screenshot to show my Release Date Calendar progress.

"🎮 Release Date Calendar 2026
This is my running calendar of story-rich adventures worth keeping an eye on.

Whenever a release date appears for a game with an intriguing world, strong narrative, or a sense of discovery, it finds its way here. The list is constantly updated as new announcements arrive — giving you an easy way to see what stories are waiting just over the horizon."

If you want to avoid these AI generations of your Instagram posts, without switching your account to private, you’ll have to dig into the app’s settings. Open the Instagram app, tap your profile, and then tap the three lines in the top-right corner of the screen. Then, scroll down to the Sharing and reuse tab. Here is where you should see a section labeled Allow people to use your content on Instagram and with AI features on Meta, with a toggle for Posts and one for Reels.

PNGtuber Plus is so easy to use. Took me all of 2 minutes to set up. Now to draw the blinking, different expressions, tail swish, etc Should be ready for when I stream Moss Forgotten Relic 🐭 Here's a test video so far

Finished my Moss Poko! Its all separated into layers so I can animate the ears, legs, flower and tail separately when I make the PNGtuber. Just need to draw the expressions, tail swish, flower bob, and I think ears can just be rotated on the PNGtuber software thingy Keep a look out for more 👀

Considering that the UK video games market is worth £8.7 billion, there's a surprising lack of really big consumer shows. Are these kinds of events simply outdated in the post-COVID world of digital showcases, or is there a deeper problem? www.gamesindustry.biz/where-did-al...

Since stepping down from Six One, writing has fallen by the wayside. Writing full-time ain't realistic nowadays, but not writing at all has been gnawing at me. I'm launching crowbar to help keep my writing sharp while gushing about the indies that make one heck of an impact. Hope y'all dig it!

It was such a sweet demo to play! Relaxing and chill. No time constraints... I think? It felt like the clock was unimportant and more of an aesthetic where we could watch the beautiful sunset and sunrise. Loved the characters too, and loved they give you to option to not charge kids 🥹

Ive changed my strategy completely for Steam Next Fest. Too stressful trying to keep up with it and Im never going to recommend demos with enough time for players to play them. So, instead, I'm using it to find games to put on my radar and keep an eye on. Theyre the ones im recommending 😁
