The State of NYC Indie: Developing a Better Games Community A panel discussion between local leaders about how we can grow the NYC game development scene.

On Thursday evening, I'll be joining a panel of local community leaders at the NYU Game Center for a wide-ranging discussion about NYC's homegrown indie game scene. The host and moderator is @timrattray.bsky.social, who's working on a docuseries all about the NYC game dev community.

We’re still on the lookout for partners for the upcoming 2025 ceremony 🏆

Interested? Reach out via the email below!

Apparently Pendulo Studios (Runaway, Yesterday, Tintin) quietly closed down months ago but didn't announce it. Another fallen soldier.

I have a big announcement to make:
On October 18th, I and the people of @teambananabread.bsky.social will be at the Game-a-Palooza in Brooklyn to showcase Netherkin, a game that we have been working on for a while! Come see what our game is all about!

A drawing of the main character of Skate & Date (Maggie) smiling with her arm raised and flexed. There are purple silhouettes of her teammates in the foreground.

TOMORROW!!! Skate & Date Releases!!

I know it took a bit to reconfigure the release date because of Google Play having some issues and me being stubborn about releasing it separately but. It is what it is

Anyway! Tomorrow, Steam/Itch.io will get Skate & Date for Mac, Windows, and Android!!!

The artists who turned teenage obsessions into an award-winning video game To create an interactive autobiography, Consume Me's creators had to turn teenage memories into playable self-portraits.

Consume Me is a work of autobiography born out of its creator's real experiences growing up in NYC. I spent a day with the devs visiting real places that inspired the game and looking through boxes of high school memories. A chat about how to adapt reality to game. www.polygon.com/consume-me-j...
