House of Necrosis by @warkus.bsky.social wears it's influences on it's sleeve. But it's roguelite loop and mystery dungeon gameplay presents a whole new challenge.

Does every creative working in a field games adjacent come out of Parallels thinking “game devs are so cool, I should try making a game, i could do that right?” Or is it just me.

Congratulations to everyone who presented, you all fill me with such awe and wonder at all that you create!

I was lucky enough to speak with Jo about Games Week, the local community, making games in 2025 and Paper House.

But more importantly, it feels really special seeing all the amazing people working out of PH and their galaxy brains.

Please have a read and hope you all enjoy MIGW!!!!!

Paper House @paperhousegames.com · 6d

A bunch of people working out of Paper House were interviewed for this wonderful piece written by Josefina Huq (@josefinahuq.bsky.social) for Well Played.

The article features a huge amount of insight from local developers and the importance of 'showing up' 💪

just a reminder that bandcamp friday is tomorrow & streaming services are interrupting music streams with ai generated shit, flooding the database with artists that don't exist in any way other than profiting the platform owners

so instead of paying a monthly fee, buy an album or two each month ok
