I've loved @patchmagazine.bsky.social since issue 1! The team are such champions of indie games and indie developers and it's incredible to see them thriving in a world of declining or disappearing print media! Well done for keeping shouting about indies and excelling in quality journalism!

Guildford Games Festival showcases the power of community in game dev! Indies to AAA, sharing knowledge & best practices drives innovation. A thriving dev scene isn’t just about competition—it’s about collaboration, mentorship & growth. Stronger devs make better games!

Heading to Guildford Games Festival this morning! Who else am I seeing there?
