Official Launch Trailer for The House of Hikmah | Arrives April 8th, 2026 YouTube video by Lunacy Studios

I've wished for Arab-made games about Arab mythology for so long, and despite assisting on the project I still can't believe there's one swinging for the fences this hard. House of Hikmah is something very needed in a time where the world would rather erase us.

y'all..... what the fuck?

You can pet the accorgion in People of Note

really good tip for indie devs:

the "Event and Festival" calendar from How to Market a Game got an overhaul, now includes:

- event prices
- tags for whether they'll likely get Steam featuring
- tags for physical vs online events
- can super recommend!!

Lots of feelings today as Ivy Road has closed down. While I’m not looking for work at the moment, please do check out all the folks in this thread if you’re hiring: I vouch for all of them! 💜

And thank you to everyone who played and supported Wanderstop!

POV: your hyper fixations slip into your work life

Remember all of those times you said you would pick up an indie game if it was on sale.

Now's that time.

Here's a list of solid titles you can pick up for less than 5 bucks.

If they are censoring names, then they certainly missed this one lmao

Pokopia screenshot that says "Go to Goonsville?"

.... So did anyone else get curious if Nintendo would censor their town names or was it just me? 😅

Save 35% on Skin Deep on Steam Skin Deep is an immersive first-person shooter. We got sneezing. We got things getting stuck in your feet. Stalk through a vast non-linear starship and sneak, subvert, and sabotage to survive in this ...

our video game is on sale!! rescue cats, flush pirates out airlocks, argue with decapitated heads, experience a severe dust mite allergy. it's Skin Deep!

An ironic depiction of Nvidia's DLSS 5 used on TOEM 2. We say ironic but it's really a weird piece of technology, why are things moving in this direction...

Technology.

🏆 Congrats to despelote, Consume Me, and Is This Seat Taken? on their BAFTA noms!

We hope you all get to take home that cool mask!

this was honestly the most good old-fashioned fun i've had in a game in a long, long time

Cyberpunk looking scene in pixel art from the game Dicey Hacker 1999. Cyborg looking person in a red screen at the top, blue-haired person slouched in front of a red screen computer.

Pixel art of a computer OS asking to Insert an ID Chip into a console.

Pixel art of a Palm-phone like interface that has three upgrades to choose from.

Pixel art interface of four enemies (1 with a full face mask, two military general-looking people, and one that looks like a skull circuit board. Underneath is the player UI (health, energy, money, dice for combat)

The thing I love about Next Fests is going from "I've not heard of this game" to "wow, I am now obsessed with this thing"

I could not stop playing DiceyHacker1999 last night. It has some rough edges and looks better in motion, but the vibes are fantastic
store.steampowered.com/app/3726190/...

Denshattack, Gambonanza, The Eternal Life of Goldman, Vampire Crawlers, Titanium Court, Rune Dice, DiceyHacker1999 are all in the "Obsessed" category.

Cini Cross The Dungeon Experience How Many Dudes? Wanderburg Wild Blue Skies Everything is Crab Blades, Bows & Magic Croak Sledding Game TownsFolk are all in the "liked" category, which were still very enjoyable but didn't quite hit the hyperfixation bone quite like the obsessed ones.

Managed to play 28 demos over Next Fest (and hoping that several more that are downloaded won't be taken down immediately today).

Here are my top ones:

Mads Martin Community, marketing, copywriting, editing.
