If you're in game development, and you're not following @kenney.nl, you are missing out on some incredibly cool and friendly #gamedev tools, along with all the countless of FREE assets he's made.

Check out this sound tool he's working on 👀

Cosy looking!

RICH MAN DEATH RADIATION is something that'll stick with me for a while

Please steal my loading screen ideas using cellular automata:

Incredibly cold take: every game engine should come with a 1×1 transparent png by default 🤷‍♂️

Oops we forgot to put a “pick one of three things” in our incremental esport parody game on launch but fixed it with free dlc

We have been adding characters to our cozy deckbuilder. This is our shopkeeper. Say hello to my little friend!

We were incredibly happy to welcome Harry Krueger, Game Director on Returnal, to the very first Reykjavík Game Summit. In a fireside interview with Ari Arnbjörnsson from Developer Relations at Epic Games, the core message was simple and powerful: gameplay comes first.

At RGS 2025, independent game dev Kim Ström spoke candidly about his experience marketing his game Penguin Heist and utilizing memes to crack the front page on Reddit multiple times. The central idea he works from is that if something worked once to gain traction it is likely to work again later.

Winter Mullenix (@winwin.bsky.social) is the lead Narrative Designer on EVE Online at @ccpgames.com. At Reykjavík Game Summit 2025, she offered a deep look at how narrative structure can shape the way players think, feel, and respond.

This was such a good #gamedev talk, we should all be taking notes on how to finish games like students! The pottery example in this thread is such a good point!

At Reykjavík Game Summit 2025, @loa-gunnars.bsky.social, game designer and adjunct instructor at Reykjavik University, shared a refreshing perspective drawn from her experience teaching game design and working with students.

This was a great talk and left me with some great points to learn from. Thanks @hashimusashi.bsky.social and @gamemakersiceland.bsky.social !

Reykjavík Game Summit 2025 kicked off with @hashimusashi.bsky.social, Game Design Director on EVE Online at @ccpgames.com, sharing a talk called '23 Years of Game Design's Untaught Lessons'.

So a cool thing happened today! The local #gamedev in Iceland gathered to allow the public to see and play their recently released games, as well as those still in development.

Kind of like a local games expo, only it's the first time we ever do this!

Effulgence RPG on Steam Effulgence RPG is a party-based RPG set in a unique character-based world where enemies are more than just obstacles - they ARE the resource. 💀 Destroy them to forge better gear!

It's from Effulgence RPG store.steampowered.com/app/3302080/...

Someone feel free to explain how, because this ASCII in 3D looks amazing!

Hey, remember when we traveled back in time, disguised ourselves in hip clothes and saved the whales? Wow what an adventure that was! And then we got the whale-measles and had to be quarantined for like two weeks, and we spent the entire time binge watching the Armenian version of Gilmore Girls!
