I enabled iPhone’s hold distance reminder thingy and it makes me feel I’m either shortsighted or it wants me to have longsightedness to use my phone :/
I guess it’s a good thing to remind not to hold the phone too close?

'Forbidden Solitaire is ostensibly about you finding and playing a spooky ‘90s CD-ROM solitaire game—think The 7th Guest but, y’know, solitaire—and getting way more than you bargained for. I have no idea what that means in gameplay terms, but I can’t wait to find out.'

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 Do not quote, or dunk.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.

Wonderful article about accessibility in 2025's GOTY: Clair Obscure: Expedition 33!
I 100% agree with what's being said, and I would even add a few more issues to the list.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Accessibility Review — DearGamers
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is one of the best games I have ever played. Period. And because I truly believe it is a must-play title, I want Expedition 33 to be accessible to as many players as possib...

Sneak peak at a Tom and Dad Games project- Tom's City! He loves drawing buildings and maps we're so trying to turn it into a semi-incremental game so you can draw one like he does!

Hey I have to say... I missed being at a meeting where I don’t mind if it runs long. Ideating with smart people can be really fun and productive.
Wish it wasn’t just contract work.

When I was nine I saw 101 Dalmatians at the cinema.
For some reason this scene stuck with me.
Sparked my love for creating using computers and gave me hope that you can make lovely things and have people enjoy them.
Have you had something like this in your life? #gamedev #dev

Hi, I’m Ioannis (john) Karavas.
I’m making a game set on a ship.
Which means I’m trying to ship a game… about a ship... and my last name in Greek literally translates to “Shipman.”
I swear I didn’t plan any of this.
That's it. That's the post.

It begun as a 10-day jam game, and over ~6mo working part-time, it involved into something beautiful.
Our #indie game (with @manolismakris.com) isn’t officially announced yet, but after recent feedback from cool folks I feel a bit more comfortable sharing our progress.
