I CAN'T KEEP QUIET ANY LONGER!
I've been working on a #indiegame called 「POST SPACE」that is still pretty early in development. There's still a lot that I *can't* share yet, but if you're familiar with my previous work, go get yourself added to the mailing list early 👀 tinyurl.com/post-space-dev

I am researching some workflows and would love help if possible.
If you are making a non-NDA'd game in Unreal, Unity, or Godot, would you mind making a fullscreen timelapse recording of yourself working for 3 hours, at 3 frames per second? That'll be about ~18 minutes of footage.
Any game is fine!

Idea: an open-source Super Smash Bros game written in #Godot and people can raise PRs to add their own character of their own games to it, including links to their own games.

Dear all thinky game devs: we're running another Thinky Direct this year, and this time with open submissions!
Thinky Direct showcases exclusive trailers, announcements, and reveals for upcoming thinky games!
➡️ Submit your game by Feb 28:

Thinky Direct 2026 - Open Submissions
Last year at Thinky Games, we ran our very first Thinky Direct, sharing some amazing new trailers, reveals, and announcements with puzzle fans around the world. It was such a joy to organise that we're bringing it back for 2026!
The Thinky Direct is a 30-60 minute digital livestream event, all about showcasing amazing upcoming thinky games - games that are generally about solving puzzles and careful reasoning, rather than fast reflexes or dexterity. We loves games that make you scratch your head, ponder interesting problems, and declare "aha!" when you discover the answer. We expect Thinky Direct 2026 to happen towards the end of May.
This year, we're opening up submissions publicly so that we don't miss any great upcoming games. In particular, we're looking to feature exclusive trailers, content updates, big reveals, and exciting announcements! Please note that all content must be exclusive to this event. Previously released trailers or videos will not be accepted for inclusion in the showcase.
We partner up with the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase, a Steam sale organized by Draknek & Friends, to reach gamers on the Steam platform. If your game is accepted to the Thinky Direct and is eligible for the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase, it will be included in both.
If you think your game would be perfect for showcasing in Thinky Direct 2026, please let us know about it! Of course, to keep the event focused, spaces are extremely limited, so we're unfortunately not able to accept every game that is submitted to us. We are nonetheless incredibly grateful for any submissions we do receive, so thank you for taking the time, and I hope we can support your game in other ways if not through the Thinky Direct.
The deadline for submissions is 23:59 UTC on February 28, 2026. We will respond by March 14, 2026. The event will happen around the end of May, 2026 - specific date TBD.

Go follow Black folks making games. We’re often ignored, then imitated. Tag some Black devs below and follow the ones you don’t know yet.

there's a short window of time to do it but the reason people use new year changeover to rethink goals and who they're trying to be is you can actually respec your character stats without penalty if you do it soon, button is in the bottom right of the level up screen the UI doesn't highlight it well

Catching up with game announcements. It's always strange (and wonderful) to see elements of games your friends have been hinting about for years suddenly out there in the world. I love that click when a long-ago obscure comment clicks and you're like "Ohhhh that's what that meant!"
