Random person who plays indie games, you are the most important cog in an indie game's success.
Most gamers don't know or care that indies exist.... unless a friend tells them.
Our games succeed because you tell other people you liked our game. Word of mouth is the best marketing there is.

Phew! We're safe for 1 more year instead.
Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed, for the second time, to 19 November 2026.
Take Two's CEO remarked that the delay would help provide time for "a "high level of polish," and "we feel quite good about this date.”
The delay comes amid the contentious firing of dozens of workers at Rockstar Games.

UPDATE: Got many great pitches already, most from Latin America & Eastern Europe (which makes sense given my history & previous work lol)
I really want more stories from north of Africa, Middle-East & SEA. I'm reaching out to researchers & journos there, any suggestions & connections are welcome 🙏

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...
It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.
Please share :)

I really don't understand why people are afraid to playtest their games 😅 Not only you'll get valuable feedback from players, but you'll also learn more about yourself, capabilities, and how long things would take to finish.
I’ve seen small and new devs scared to show unfinished games because they might “spoil them.” If your audience is just your friends, then that might be true. But don’t you want your player base to be somewhat larger than that?
Playtesting is the secret weapon to making a good game!
Playtesting is the secret weapon to making a good game!
Indie Dev Tip of the Day: playtesting isn't just about finding bugs. You don't know if your game is good until many people have ratified it. Until it consistently lands for large numbers of your testers - and don't forget to include new ones every time.

The good thing about trying to understand "scenes" in Godot is that I never understood it in Unity to begin with.
