Got this trailer done last night for my dystopian indie horror game's demo.

Hoping that everything gets approved by Steam so it can still participate in Next Fest.

Made a quick trailer for my solo VN I Would Love to Wish You Good Morning. Wasn't expecting to need one for a demo, but it turned out better than I thought!

Ludum Dare is now over half-way done and we're coming up to the final stretch! I didn't think I'd ever do another LD jam, but I'm happy I did. The team I'm working with is great, and it gave me a chance to refine my process and recording skills...and maybe even make a sound library after we're done.

If you wanna know what sickass lore is being dropped on this panel you're going to have to wishlist SLAUGHTER VOID, but for now please just imagine it's the Werner Herzog amazon monologue

It's not even a joke at this point. I guarantee this position is just going to lead to slop for at least a few years and nothing good will come from it- maybe just another tax loss writeoff.
Meanwhile you could fund like 3-4 full-time indie games and at least one of them could be a huge success.

Yet another time where 1 exec's salary could fuel so many small indie game budgets.

Omg the revisionist history in that book is wild. Like 200% unhinged and self-aggrandizing wow.

Oh no. Thanks for the tip. I had some bad vibes about this one that I couldn't quite place and lucky that I went "nah".

There's currently a subscription drive for Indiepocalypse if a monthly curated 10 game collection of indie games (plus a ~5 year back library) from a *wide* range of devs sounds like something you'd be into.

Every subscription directly supports contributors.

It makes some sense in terms of just raw circular-reinvestment business strategy, but damned if it's just pouring salt on the self-inflicted wound that just will never close.

Fable?
I guess Gears of War sort of counts too considering it's been handed off between like 5 different developers through its incarnations.
