Indie game devs, if you're drawing on real world inspirations in some way, tell us about your research process! Might be educational for all of us to learn about. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #worldbuilding
In All Will Rise, different characters and groups struggle with the question of whether you change a society from the inside using its own systems, from the outside through revolution, or both. #IndieGame #GameDev #IndieDev #change #politics

Israel continues to block aid and materials into Gaza for shelters, thus purposefully denying conditions necessary for life as winter comes on. They are continuing the genocide in full view of the world.

Who are the main characters in VIDEOVERSE? Let's take a look with some brand new artwork for the console launch!
First, we have Emmett, our protagonist! He's an enthusiastic, sensitive teen who's learning who he wants to become. A little disconnected IRL, he seeks friendships online in Videoverse 🧡

@ginaloughlin.com has been hard at work on the sound of Wax Heads, with lead vocal support from none other than @patattiemurray.bsky.social's father-in-law William on this particular track by Teddy Tom called "A Fox with the wolves".
