ok fellow #gamedev people: how do you find an #artist or #illustrator to make your capsule art for steam / icon for mobile? I am making a simple web version of Jelly Well and I need someone who can make an attractive icon image for the game! This would be a paid job ofc 👍

@jasonimms.bsky.social is the guy - one of the best people in Aussie game dev ❤️

If you want to check out something at the theatres - One Battle After Another is cooool

Agreed

Make shorter games with worse graphics and fewer shareholders

@dangolding.com nice work on the Mars First Logistics tunes. Has been a good listen while working this week.

“Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die.”

Doing silly things like writing an importer of wareware project .rip files into Unity. No real objective except to give it a try.

Started to noodle around with a new wareware idea yesterday

It’s on my list for sure. Is it gamepad friendly? My Steamdeck is my main way to play it at the moment

I cancelled Spotify and have gone all in on Bandcamp. Each month I budget the monthly subscription spend to buy music from the artists and I get some nice FLACs for my troubles :D

Submissions to Falling Block Jam 2025

The Falling Block jam was rad. Plenty of good games to try out here.

Saw credits in Baby Steps. It is a very satisfying game, and meditative in a way Getting Over It never was.

Game Pile #6 Pile on

A shorter edition of my Game Pile newsletter with cool games to check out, play and then review. All of them can be bought outright (or are free) for less than the price of one month of Xbox Game Pass! 😮 What a world we live in.
open.substack.com/pub/gamepile...

the website to cancel Xbox Game Pass subscriptions is overloaded

30 bucks a month lets you buy 1-2 indie games, support an independent games media outlet of your choice, and the majority of your money will go to a human being who worked hard to make something cool

congrats on the announce - looking good

This only happens to you once

Good week for indie game releases

Correct call

Often when our list of Adobe alternatives is shared people comment that it's okay to pirate Adobe software. It's not, because that still supports Adobe through usage and staying in their ecosystem. Instead, do look into alternatives!

After years of being a pretty alright podcast app Pocket Casts has entered the enshittification zone. With the double whammy of an AI chat bot being used to reply to feedback emails. Nice…

This Place In Time by The Lemur Conspiracy Around the bend is always the same

Game Pile #5 Old, new, upcoming, or free — they're all just cool games

Another pile of games that I think are worth playing or wishlisting.
Share the love.
