'Grow Wild' Catches Bugs, Discovers Plants, and Creates Biomes Grow Wild is a cozy sandbox style game where you can discover new plants, find bugs, and watch the world change around you.

I wrote about the cozy, plant-related game Grow Wild by @spectrum48.bsky.social for @indiegamesplus.bsky.social, after seeing it at @developconference.com: indiegamesplus.com/grow-wild-pr...

I'll be about from tues-thurs! 😁

Years ago I was at New York Pride and I remember running into this couple and they told me they drove like five hours to be at Pride and I was like, “Five hours? Why would you drive five hours?” And he said to me, “This is the one time a year and the only place where I can hold my partner’s hand and kiss my partner in the street without having to look around first. It’s the only place. I don’t have that anywhere else.” One time a year. One place. This is it. And that’s what Pride means. - bob the drag queen

Possibly my favorite summation of Pride

Hey Lukas! This sounds awesome, it's been too long anyway. Send me a DM and let's find a time. :)

International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia 17th May #IDAHOBIT The International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia, or IDAHOBIT, takes place on the 17th May with the date specifically chosen to commemorate the World Health Organization's decision in 1990 to declassify homosexuality as a mental disorder. Originally known as the International Day Against Homophobia when first celebrated in 2005, it expanded to cover transphobia in 2009 and biphobia in 2015. The day serves as an opportunity to raise awareness of the treatment of LGBTQ+ people worldwide, including the ongoing repression and discrimination, as well as a chance to come together to drive positive change going forward. outmaking.games

Today is #IDAHOBIT - International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia

This year, acknowledging IDAHOBIT feels more urgent than ever as we have seen significant pushback against queer and especially trans rights here in the UK.

Interviewer: can you explain this gap in your CV?

Me, a games producer: That's added contingency time

I had the best acai bowl ever yesterday and it's all I've been able to think about since.

I'm now just living counting down to the next time I can go back and have another.

A hexagon grid combat space with a variety of ships, two human, six eldritch. The human ship Silver (16/7 shield, 27/27 health, 2 speed, 1/4 fire) is using the card Nuclear Tomb (Deal 6 damage. If the target died, it leaves Radioactive Cloud in an area.) Other cards are Energy to Shield and Laser Fire.

Two ships fly to the left while a Cthulhu figure takes up the entirety of the background. "Your progress exists only by my blessing. I am both your creditor and your end. Options: Tribute: 350 gold (grayed out). Sacrifice (-30% health per ship). Scam (on failure -60% health per ship, -141 gold).

Starless Abyss by Konafa Games, a roguelite deckbuilder, is out now! [PC]

The Eldritch are coming. Science and occult have joined forces to defend the remains of humanity. Use powerful cards in turn-based combat to fight the unknowable and hold onto your sanity.

Not sure if this is good for day 1, but I felt quite happy with it, no idea where this is going though.

I've been told I need a notebook....

That feeling when you wake up the day after a game launch and get to check the overnight sales numbers.

Super happy to be combining forces with Chimeric Games in this space bundle!

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏

We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch

If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️

Starless Abyss on Steam Earth has fallen. Science and the Occult have united forces to brace for the arrival of the Eldritch. But will the efforts against this strange, alien race be enough? Play as one of many Proximae used...

One of OMG’s pillars has always been intersectionality. We support you, however you identify in regard to gender. Today and always, we ask you to remember that whenever you are speaking about others in terms of gender or sexual orientation, you speak with the kindness and civility you’d wish for yourself and your friends. After all, you are speaking about fellow human beings who have rights too. Don’t get caught up in sensationalist reporting or storytelling. Check your facts using a reputable source like the BBC, relevant charities or organisations, not social media or certain other headline-grabbing press outlets. If you, a family member, friend or colleague identifies as trans, you can find support at glaad.org mermaids.org.uk transactual.org.uk genderedintelligence.co.uk
