We somehow convinced Patricia Summersett (known for her voice as Princess Zelda) to bring Sirenis, your mysteriously omnipresent companion, to life in our game #TheSignal 👏

You don't need anyone but Sirenis... 🖤

Here's another fellow #IndieGameDev Kickstarter project that we think is the bee's knees 🐝

No actual bees involved but a kung fu-noir game where you create your own fighting style sounds pretty darn cool.

Check it here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/wea...

IMMORTAL: And the Death that Follows

A Kung-Fu Noir prison escape based on Buddhist myth that is a mix of stylish combat, dating sim and exploration.

Love it when people like @jtoresson.bsky.social post helpful resources.

More publishers (and people in games) should do this.

GDC has always been ass, and GDC now trying to further impose control outside moscone to strangle out side events is a sure sign that it's not going to get better.

If you're a dev, this sheet is free and will have a higher impact than paying money to go to sf

Over the last few years, the Swedish video game corporation Embracer Group has laid off thousands of employees and canceled dozens of games. Here's the story behind how one small game studio escaped its embrace — and found a happy ending.
