With regards to the last repost, I often think about the DIY indie game marketing roundtable I attended and how I'm pretty sure only one person suggested "helping each other" or "promoting someone else's work". Collaboration seems like the 1st DIY step!!!

Art & Play Pombal Game Jam is back so save the date! Calling all artists, game designers, and creatives! From 11th to 13th of October join us in a Game Jam that brings together game developers with artists from all artistic expressions.

I wrote an introduction for a Studio Oleomingus exhibit a while ago and finally put it up myself now. I'm honestly really proud of it. It's one of the best postcolonial pieces that I've written. whynotgames.in/2024/09/15/ole…

i'm not sure how to say this or who needs to hear it but you *can* leave the games industry and still make games

Students and faculty of IISc!! Sign the letter and put pressure on them to cancel the India-Israel Business Summit scheduled on Monday! docs.google.com/forms/d/1RQkrB…

I'm working on a diffracted erasure which explores circularity in poetics and the need of many English lyric poems to go back where they came from, resolve their inciting impulse. If you have read/written anything similar I would appreciate hearing about it so I can steal from it

i'm going to do it. i'm going to make a thread of rpg maker games that indie devs might look to for inspiration instead of chrono trigger

I hate to brag but I'm going to do it anyway. My game won the IGF Design Award, has an overwhelmingly positive rating on Steam, and all proceeds go to funding an undead takeover which surely cannot be worse than anything that living politicians are proposing. Buy it, you churls!

Canadian games folks/developers! If you had a video game release this year or are having it release before the year ends—please, make yourself known to me, please! If your game is solely/mostly Canadian-developed—then I would very much love to email you! Please, retweet/aid!

Anthology Of The Killer is out on Steam now. A brilliantly funny series of horror-comedy shorts (all adding up to one big narrative) from the creator of Space Funeral, Goblet Grotto and many other extremely weird things. Huge recommendation to all. store.steampowered.com/app/3212530/An…

Anthology of the Killer is on Steam now. It's what the folks in the biz call a "masterpiece" so if you don't already own it, it's a bit of a must-have. It's on itch too, I assume with the same added features (the bonus rooms are not to be missed). thecatamites.itch.io/anthology-of-t…
