Any indies out here already thinking about doing GGJ next year?

every indie dev's mood

Good example of creating a fun concept--AND tagline--for your mobile game!

Has anyone seen the Black Mirror: Bandersnatch interactive special on Netflix? What are your design thoughts on it?

I wrote a quick blog post if anybody is interested in learning more about how I built the interactive textile-based interface w/ Arduino & JavaScript 🙂 It's probably incomplete but the main concept and setup is there! medium.com/@devdevcharlie… #arduino #javascript #Nodejs #iot

Just heard that Giant Bomb tried out Klang today on their "There's No New Games" show (what a delightful title!). Thanks very much!

What *next* incredibly overdue feature do you wish Steam offered to developers? gamasutra.com/view/news/3340…

The theme for this year’s Global Game Jam is ‘What home means to you.’ Well done secret keepers and happy #GGJ19

🔥Snow Cannon Games games are 66% off! Get a feel for Shadow Puppeteer and it’s whimsical, gloomy atmosphere. Or try your hand at Klang - a rhythm-platformer combo! Alternatively, dive into a mythological point-and-click adventure with The Frostrune! ❄️bit.ly/2Sh9wD7

Excellent thread on how emotions are embedded into code. Code is not cold or neutral

Got some free time this weekend? It's definitely not too late to join the #extragamejam! Make a tiny game based on the theme (cycles) and submit within the next 50 hours to itch.io/jam/extra-cred…

Deadlines for regular submissions are closing! After March 16 it will cost more. If you're considering submitting for the Festival or Europe then now is a good time :)

Friendly reminder that talk submissions for gamedev.world will close in 3 days. To those of you who have already submitted, thank you for your wonderful ideas and energy. To those who have considered it but not yet submitted - now is the time!
