Just finished the prologue and well, I *think* I broke *something*?

(love how this game uses recognisable mechanics but kept me guessing all the way through, can’t wait for the full experience)

hi gang! does anyone have examples of games partially funded by government grants outside of the US? (other than e33)

alternatively: if you have experience working with those grants, would you be willing to talk to me about it on a short video call?

Weird that he would pick that as the worst puzzle when most players are in agreement that it’s the Gallery cryptograms, which are near unsolvable for non-native speakers.

Interesting insights though!

Helllllo I could use your help! We're trying to create a new steam tag, and that requires a bunch of people tagging our (and games like it) with the same tag.

If you could pop over to our store and put in 'Fake OS', that'd be super appreciated! pls share =]

Support depressing games that are also really really good.

It's like, mate don't threaten me with a good time.

Not only do I want a disconnect between independent videogames and "the tech industry", I want a giant chasm. I want to be on a different planet. A parallel universe.

Wacht maar af, dat onderwijsniveau knalt los door het dak op deze manier.

Of om het met de woorden van Lubach te zeggen: geen wonder dat een computer er almaar beter in slaagt om slimmer te worden dan de mens, want wij worden steeds dommer.

Do you, small / solo dev, know if your game is in IGF this year? No, do you REALLY? Have you asked your publisher? I unfortunately must relay to you that I can name three examples this year of high-profile IGF 2025 games that were submitted either:

    By the indie’s publisher, without informing the developer at all
    By the indie’s publisher’s externally contracted PR firm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you want to know why this is a FUCKING BAD IDEA? Here’s an example of a thing that happened this year:

Judge: Hi! I’m having some technical issues with the build. Could you help me out?
PR Company who submitted: We’ll get in touch with the developer and get back to you.
—
*THREE WEEKS OUT OF THE 1 MONTH JUDGING PERIOD PASS*
—
Judge: Hello????? Judging is almost over. Is everything okay?
PR Company who submitted: We’ll have an updated build for you when the game comes out [note: That’s gonna be after judging is over]

Result: Your game has wasted its opportunity completely.

Now that IGF and GDC is over I finally got around to writing up my postscript on IGF submissions and some of the issues we ran into in 2025. If you plan to submit your game in 2026 I recommend reading this, tbh. auratriolo.com/blog/2026/03...

Wow Guillaume, what a heartwarming treat!

Let’s use human connection to combat a world that feels increasingly disconnected and driven by cold metrics.
