What are you playing at the moment?

I've just been playing The Darkside Detective (re The @slowgameclub.bsky.social), a rather witty and fun #indiedev #game

Late to the party, but I'm finally getting around to playing The @cultofthelamb.bsky.social ... incredibly fabulous on so many fronts! ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿซถ ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Itโ€™s been 2 weeks since UCA hosted GDLX25 - @gamedevlocal.bsky.social

It was a pleasure to bring nearly 50 fantastic indie games & the dev community together for GDLX25.

It was an extraordinary array of creativity, games & networking, drawing hundreds of indie game fans & players to the event.

3 Days to GDLX โ€“ No Replay Button!
1 day, 1 chance, and then itโ€™s gone.
The indie showcase, the talks, the networking, the afterparty, it all happens in real time, April 12th at UCA Farnham.

Every year, people say โ€œIโ€™ll go next time.โ€ And every year, they filled with the FOMO.
Donโ€™t do that.
