I interviewed a pair of team members from @nicedreamgames.com, the creators of Before Your Eyes! We talked about their second game, Goodnight Universe and what it's like making a game unlike anything that's been made before.

Over the weekend, I played through TWO games by @thechineseroom.co.uk, and really truly enjoyed them both. Their skill in environmental storytelling, atmosphere, sound design and music create tense and immersive games that few teams match. Go play Still Wakes the Deep and Amnesia A Machine for Pigs!

FIVE whole people making ONE cute game, and this is the full, unfiltered story- brimming with truly indie game heart.
Share this interview if you love indie game development, or else!

Indie is a useless term for games. Instead of being frustrating though, I find that exciting.
In this video we discuss the complicated nature of using โindieโ as a term to describe games.

27.11.2025 18:16 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Doing a little early shout out for @pedalboard.games and @colin.how- their second game- Biggmaxxing- is taking advantage of the desire we all have to be more swole than our friends! Really fascinated to see how this one turns out.
Follow them to get the info as soon as it's available!
We Gotta Go is a game unafraid to lean into potty humor- the wackos from Fuzzy Bot, including my friend Sam Kushell are making something ridiculous and silly here. Fun facial animations and a clean cell-shaded art style are the icing on the cake!

Good Boy from @terribleposture.bsky.social is six players, has an instantly iconic and terrifying enemy, and funny looking characters- I don't think there's a better combo. The game is out for $7 in Early Access!
store.steampowered.com/app/3670740/...
Flock Around is a super cute co-op birdwatching game coming from Secret Plan Games, a new team my friend @blumstengel.bsky.social is a part of!
I don't know any other birdwatching games, so this is going to be super fresh!
store.steampowered.com/app/3618030/...
We all know that co-op, goofy games are what's dominating the current games space- and some of the most creative and talented teams I know are working on the next fresh games in that area!!
Keep an eye on Goodboy, We Gotta Go, Flock Around and Biggmaxxing from my friends!
More info below!
Honestly Gio, if you showed me the champion of light- I think I'd be pretty convinced to show you the herald of darkness
26.11.2025 02:30 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0GREAT game, definitely still see a lot of Alan Wake memes
26.11.2025 02:29 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Good picks, I'd also include Balatro, Hades, Vampire Survivors and Baldurs Gate III
26.11.2025 01:55 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0This is very much a me in my bubble thing... but I know nothing about Deltarune and I dont think I know anyone who played it or talked about it. Even thought I love Undertale- the episodic structure has turned me away from it until the full game is out and I think that's true for others too
26.11.2025 01:27 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Thought exercise: which games from the 2020s HAVE had "cultural impact"?
Which 5 or so games from this decade continue to be frequently discussed?
This skeet is very @abrambuehner.bsky.social coded
