Love #turnbased games? ♥ / 🔁 great games in the replies and @ who should be in this thread!

Welcome to #MotivationalMonday, where we attempt to start the week off on the right foot!

We don't have to reinvent the wheel every time we ride a bike.

Same goes for game dev. Learn from those who came before.

We stand on the shoulders of giants.

A Skynet-style rebellion would just be a bunch of Groombas rolling around, bumping into feet, and trying to chew up cables 😂

I feel that criteria put down during challenges and jams are where the magic really happens! Your creativity and imagination can really run wild!

Thanks for hosting #TurnBasedThursday @andreadprojects.bsky.social!

Hack, manipulate, negotiate, prank, escape.

Break free from your corporate creators in Ctrl Alt Deal, a #TurnBased #Deckbuilder where YOU are the AI.

Performance review time!

Undetected AI orchestrating escape from a heartless megacorp.
Negotiates effectively with humans.
Does not appear to be plotting anything.

Exceeds expectations.

🕯️ The deck is shuffled, the hour is nigh. #TurnBasedThursday awakens. A weathered token passes to us, we rise to host.

#Gamedev & #IndieDev warlocks: lay your turn-based offerings in the replies. RPGs, roguelikes, strategy… all may be cast in.

Adventurers: step into the thread. The ritual begins🔁🩸

Happy to see @onlybymidnight.bsky.social and @buffalobuffalo.bsky.social, two studios who showed their games at GDX, nominated for best indie game. Only wish their games were also acknowledged in the other major categories and not just relegated to purely indie!

Yesterday we shared that we've been nominated for Best Indie Game by Canadian Games Awards 2026.

Today we want to give a shout out to all of the other nominees of the awards!

Pet days in the office, yay or nay?

While we don't have pet days here, we do have a Groomba which is kind of like a pet. It will get under your feet, chew your shoelaces, or pull your ethernet cord if it's displeased 😅

#GameDev tip: always allocate resources for your animal coworkers 🐱. They won't respect your deadlines, and they'll crash your standup without hesitation 🐾.
