John and Brenda Romero say the current state of the games industry feels "crashier" than the notorious North American video game crash of 1983 did.

A screenshot of the itchio page for The Power of Pride Bundle, in which there are 68 notifications indicated by a red circle to the top right of the screen. A common joke is to share screenshots of memetic numbers that have an additional meaning, with 67 and 69 being particularly popular.

Dang, we can't even do a 67 or 69 joke 😔

Keep those submissions rolling in though! Applications close on March 31, 2026, and we're excited to see what y'all have to share~

Blobun by Jess You are a blob bunny. Your goal? Touch every tile!

🦝listen I'm just saying, you can either give nintendo $40 for repackaged GBA pokemon roms, or you can give us like 6 bucks to play a brand new game and also help us pay taxes

(we also have a kofi goal too if you wanna help that way ko-fi.com/gfxsql )

Relooted is a great game! My daughter LOVES it and that’s an absolute win. She’s 4 and see loves the loop of this game and I get to enjoy the history of some of the artifacts and the way it makes me feel to steal them. :)

I probably could have done it faster, but I had auto-skip cutscenes turned off, so I had to manually skip them, which loses 2 seconds each time.

One of the questions we get more than any other: What's the difference between a good publisher and a bad one in the #indiedev space?

Today, our COO @discordiadystopia.bsky.social pulls back the curtain on publisher red flags!

A surprising number of PC games can't be played with a D-pad turned 90 degrees.

Zalia standing front of a save crystal. A text box reads "Save Crystal: Access the menu by pressing btn: menu. Then select Save to save your game. Except, the string has not been parsed correctly, meaning all the escape sequences, color codes, and other formatting instructions have been left in, leaving the message reading as garbage.

I don't think that string got parsed correctly.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

I'm gonna be busy busy busy playing demos today. Plus, I'm going to register for a ton of playtests on Steam!

If you're an indie game dev, I'd love to hear from you!

Relooted Review | Culture Behind Glass: Stealing The Stolen Relooted asks a question most games are too timid to touch: what if someone just took back what was stolen?Developed by South African studio Nyamakop, Relooted is a 2D puzzle-platformer heist game whe...

Relooted's premise is bold, necessary, and handled with genuine care by @nyamakop.co.za, which is only being held back by its technical roughness.

I got to play a beta copy of Enigma Heart by @clarissa.hadrosaurus.net and I honestly might consider coming back to speedrunning for a bit for it when it comes out. It's fun and gay and cute and just the right amount of Nintendo hard imo.

Hey #indiegame #gamedevs !

My name is Ten and I review games for @thecosmiccircus.com and if you have a game in development, or a game that's about to come out, I'd love to play and possibly review your game for March!

Just tell me about your game or drop a link!

Please share! Thank you 😊

our lovely artists recently dug up some early development footage for some of the systems in Spirit Crossing.

we decided to put together a fun little side-by-side comparison to share with you all, starting with our glider system!

Honestly, AI slop PRs are becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for #Godot maintainers.

If you want to help, more funding so we can pay more maintainers to deal with the slop (on top of everything we do already) is the only viable solution I can think of:
