I love the Espeon, because it looks like an alien in this. A violent, incomprehensible being from the stars

There's something beautiful about the clash of such a happy image with such a destructive message
It's rich parents or crippling debt, baby!
All they needed to do, was make Skate 4. $60, boxed product, full experience. Ship it, and leave it.
But they chose to go down the live-service route.
Do you know if this'll be recorded/shared? I'd love to attend but the time-zone's a little tricky
I've been watching, horrified, as Discord alpine skis on the slippiest of slopes. Reluctance to oppress users who share CP, now the Face ID/Age verification, the coming IPO, ...
Can anyone, please, recommend an alternative? Trying to build an indie dev studio, I'd rather not waste time on Discord..
If you enjoyed Lonely Nights on High Rooftops (or this kind of quiet, unsettling sci-fi), it might be up your alley.

π©Έπ I wrote a short story called Reaching Out β speculative horror about grief, memory, and crossing a line you canβt uncross. πππͺ
Iβve made it free for readers who want it.

Small indie-author win: while setting things up for @pagebound.bsky.social I noticed Lonely Nights on High Rooftops reached 10 ratings on @goodreads.com π€
Iβve dropped the price too β so if youβre looking for a gritty cyberpunk revenge story π

Clearly a DEI hire.
isn't the red dot supposed to be the pupil? Isn't it horribly misplaced, if that's the case? Or is he just severely droopy-eyed?
I'm down to help
Even his "national security" thing is a farce, as Danish politicians pointed out that they close 30 bases on Greenland, that they could just reopen if they wanted to.
It really *is* just a Putin plot to break Nato
Finishing up documentation for my Game Project, the time has come to dive back into the manuscript I wrote for the follow-up to Lonely Nights.
Tackling cycles of violence, budding resistance, and of course, the crippling weight of profits over people.

Pretty sure I've finalized my slides for my first-ever public talk on video games marketing. I'll be presenting it at buff.pxl.be
It's a talk designed to transfer my MarComms experience and knowledge I've gained in AAA to Indie game devs.
Nowhere....yet ;)
Genuine question to sate my curiosity; are there gaming equivalents to trends in romantasy? You know, the Fourth Wing kind of stuff. I know about romancing npc's in cyberpunk/baldur's gate type stuff, but I feel like thats backstory and not the "main event", yknow?
Look at art like this

With creating a game, I'm finding inspiration in a lot of places. Today I stumbled onto Visual Synths, and I'm mindblown.

Look at this! I love everything about this.
Here's a milion dollar bakery idea in the vein of cro-nuts; Tirami-Choux. A Choux pastry, filled with Tiramisu instead of creme pattisierre or whipped cream.

Flotsam builds some hope at world's end:

My friends @duckosaurus.bsky.social released a new trailer AND a demo today!

Give them a view, try out the demo, and let them know what you think!
#indiedev #blueskygaming
I think that's true for most bigger showcases though. Either you get the editorial pick, or you have to spend 100k to get your trailer included.
At the @belgiangames.be #belgiangameawards as a free agent this year!
Hot dang Foundation season 3 was good!
As an author, I don't make a whole lot of money, but at the same time I need to read a lot of books to stay aware of trends and support my fellow authors. Obviously if I spend all my profits on other people's books, I'm not coming out ahead!
So: ways to read lots of indie books for cheap.
I saw someone comment "Privatize the profits, socialize the losses" and my word, what a fantastic title that would be for a @rageagainst.bsky.social song
Just the wrote the end to the "boss fight" chapter of this story/game I've been working, and damn.
I tend to put pieces of myself into what I write, but this was an abnormally emotional one for me. I hope I get to share it some day.
