After a length of development that - if I truly, deeply thought about it, I would instantly go insane as if I'd opened some Lovecraftian skin-bound tome - our narrative city-builder Generation Exile has launched out of Early Access into full 1.0 today!

this was going to be my 5th tip for arc, play marathon, im obsessed right now if you want to play together
1. you can use the built in emotes but people will be less trustworthy, there is a lot more love for people being on mic in multiplayer games now than in the pre arc raiders time.
1. Play with a mic and proximity chat, talk to people tell them you are friendly.
2. Go to your workbench and mark everything you need to upgrade as tracked, immediately knowing you picked up something you need is "fun".
3. Do the quests as they will get you in random parts of the map.

Just learned that the Epic layoffs affected two integral audio engine designers who were the only outstretched hands to the audio community working in-house at a major game engine.
They were integral to making Unreal the best native engine for sound. Terrible, terrible move.

![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...
