Just the text I'm afraid, va costs at least 4x as much as text does per-language, so we just don't have the budget for it!

Worth it though, makes for a nicely glanceable Steam page!
We also added translations to the Steam page, including the animations in the description, which took some WORK. Game footage masked out in Photoshop, per-language text & icons into overlay PNGs in Animate, ffmpeg via a python script to composite the video & overlays into 48 webms with transparency!
The translation is mostly done already I'm afraid, but it's next on our list for post-launch support if the game does anywhere near well - some of the 'smaller' languages are down to console requirements for regional support, so it doesn't quite map to a 'top 12 languages spoken' list

A mysterious screenshot, perhaps from a videogame? It shows a barred window in low light, through the window you can see plants growing and some brighter lights beyond the plants. Some smaller plants are growing in the foreground of the image. The text "We'll be lost without you." is written at the bottom of the image and in the bottom right the Hollow Ponds logo can be seen.
Hollow Ponds is looking for a Social Media Content Creator to make video content for our next major release.
This contract role is remote with a preference for UK and adjacent time zones.

Thank you, @keefstuart.bsky.social !!

![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.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2jjromh55tf7pp7s4hsvurf4/bafkreifowkvvhjwzzryqblcppotoxpjualnpq537xshqmrrtfk5st7gxoq)

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...
Here's a little spoiler:
Mythmatch in the third slot of the New and Trending list on Steam.
WE MADE IT ONTO NEW AND TRENDING!!
I went to take a screenshot to make a joke that we didn't make it and that I didn't realize it wasn't for games that were "trending down" but THERE WE ARE!!
Please do give our Greek myth anti-capitalist merge game a shot!

Email from Valve saying that Mythmatch has received "Verified" status for Steam Deck Compatibility.
🎮 Mythmatch is Steam Deck Verified! 🎮
(And launching in 3 days)
Really excited by getting this rating before release as we do a ton of our testing on Steam Deck (because the game is made on a Mac).
So calling all Steam Deck players! Wishlist now!
