For the US, I wanted to let you know about our new short philosophical game :)
I just noticed that it is #AprilFoolsDay, this is not an April Fool.

Short. SImple. Sweet.
This is far more difficult to manage than it seems or looks.
This one does it.

Don't take my word for it. Play that one scene demo. You'll see.

New paradigm alert! ๐ฎ
AgenticPCG
We combine classic PCG (Procedural Content Generation) algorithms with large language models for generating game levels. LLMs on their own are not good at level generation, but when given the right tools from our PCG toolbox they're killing it!
The joy of playing Hamm-3r for the first time!
Immerse yourself in a free, short, thought-provoking philosophical game by @gua-le-ni.com and
@amidos2006.bsky.social and let us know how it ended for you (or not - be mysterious)!

A timeline visually representing the advice from my post, emphasising how dramatically and reliably having more time, with a testable build, converts to your game being better and your studio being safer.
I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.
"Was ist Suppe?"
A little old game (of mine) causes confusion and delight, it seems [in German].

Modern LLMs are good at writing code, but not necessarily at optimizing policy. But you can wrap the LLM in an evolutionary framework, and search for policies. In a new Nof1 paper, we show that we can automatically generate strong trading policies.
๐ฎ @amidos2006.bsky.social offered some techniques for procedural generation in 2D games at at ExpoVIT 2025 in Costa Rica.
Watch the talk to learn what they are, how to use them, and also some ideas on how to combine them for your games.

Just when you thought there couldn't possibly be any more balatro inspired rogue-lites... I went ahead and made another one with dice scoring mechanics.
