Anytime I see this game in motion I just stare at all the parts and details in the mechs... it comes through even stronger in the demo.
Will be there!
At least 2 dozens, which is a dozen more than I expected.

Calling all South Asian gamedevs! I'm hosting another South Asian Gamedev Meetup at #GDC26 with @ekanaut.bsky.social. Wednesday, 1 PM at the Waterfall. Come through, meet fellow devs, make lifelong friends, what have you. Turns out there are DOZENS of us.
See you soon!

Since last summer, Iโve been highly anticipating @imissmyfriends.bsky.social. Rich characters, a relatable story, and comfy apartment made my entire time with the extended demo memorable.

My confusion with the calendar aside, I was SO EXCITED to try the new demo for Fishbowl from @imissmyfriends.bsky.social early. My full run of it is uploading, but here's a Short for those looking to avoid major details to try it out themselves.

Surprise! I was lucky enough to get to try a preview of Fishbowl - the new life sim game by @imissmyfriends.bsky.social coming this Apri!
We will be streaming that tonight at 7pm CST and sharing my thoughts! ๐
Thank you to WholesomeGames for this opportunity! ๐
See you then!

This is especially true in the Indian games industry. Everyone's an expert without ever having shipped an honest to god video game. Bunch of bottom feeders posturing as industry leaders.
Stay safe out there, kids, and ask for help from peers.
Abhi has been helping out a bunch of teams and he's got great advice. Great person to talk to.
I'll never forget how Eka in the last minute saved us from signing a bad deal for Venba.
He gave us so much help and only asked in return was we help others like he helped us, which I'm trying my best to do, especially with emerging devs.
Reach out! There are a lot of parasites hoping you won't.
Venba is 60% off on sale as part of Global Food Faire and is only 5$!!!
For the price of pre-pandemic latte, you can now get the BAFTA winning game about cooking lost recipes and restoring relationships!

watching heated rivalry healed me. we need to adapt more smutty queer books STAT.
Just finished Venba, which has been high on my must-play list, and I LOVED IT!! If you haven't played it, I highly recommend it! It's short and sweet, and I found so much to connect with personally!

If you want to watch my playthrough the VOD is on YT - youtube.com/live/-cmmeQq...
"Hootsuite is providing social media services to ICE."
i hate it here.
really in search of something that helps me assess just that for my current game -- thanks adriaan, i will check this out!
My action skydiving racing FPS Aerial_Knightโs DropShot drops Feb 17 on PS5, Xbox, and PC.
You play as a guy bitten by a radioactive dragon, taking down mercs, dragons, tanks, and cowsโฆ all while trying not to mess up your fro.
Give it a Wishlist it means a lot ๐

Itching to show so much more but here's a look at one of the "bad guys" from our game.
Looking forward to you guys making him say things like:
"Huh What was that?? Must be the wind..."
ooo played both already and 100% agree, theyโve been cornerstones in my approach to designing games
(also LOVE hidden folks, played it to death when it first came out!!)
GAME DESIGNERS! gimme your recommendations/thoughts:
for 2026, a personal goal is playing landmark games re: game design. i did not have access to video games until my teenage years so i have no nostalgic stories about Ocarina of Time or Mega Man or [insert cult classic] so hit me with your recs.
Welcome, Twitter escapees/new Bluesky users. Four quick tips:
1. Starter packs are awesome. I made a game dev one here -> go.bsky.app/RxQCsKS
2. Bluesky's block is much more potent. Do not quote, or dunk. There's no pay-to-win so silence does remove nasty people. Blocks and move on copiously.

If you use AI for concepting, how would the masterpiece on the left be created???
Jokes aside, I can write a whole talk on how important "shitty" mocks are in the relationship between a creative director and an art director
I know that if I had used ai, it would have a lot of unintended "intent" that would confuse my team
will this convince you to stay in mumbai???
