I think Christoffer wrote something like 1.2M words.... That's a lot of throat lozenges if one were to go and do VA.

That said.... You never know.

Still cannot believe I'm hosting the IGFs at GDC this year.

The IGFs are THE show I've looked up to for my entire career! But I'm not doing it alone! I've assembled collaborators and presenters who I deeply admire and are the ones making the indie dev community the best damn community on earth

I did want to be able to lick the gems for good luck, but it's also fun to see people discover Jake's puzzle type - having enjoyed his other games I love to see people experiencing it for the first time.

Just as with Norco and Blue Prince, I had mostly walking in mind when I signed Seance. So glad to see y'all enjoying it!

Danny's Game of 2025? The Seance of Blake Manor is Fantastic!
YouTube video by noclip_2 Danny's Game of 2025? The Seance of Blake Manor is Fantastic!

Indie Recommendation: The Sรฉance of Blake Manor

From out of nowhere comes one of 2025's best games - a murder-mystery set in 19th Century Ireland with outstanding writing, smart investigation systems, ravens, ghosts, druids and more.

The Sรฉance of Blake Manor review โ€“ gripping gothic detective game steeped in mystery and menace An atmospheric folk-horror adventure combines colonial guilt, spiritualism and supernatural chills in a tale of secrets and seances on Irelandโ€™s haunted west coast

I reviewed The Seance of Blake Manor by @spookydoorway.bsky.social and absolutely adored it. Interesting procedural detective work, folk horror, Irish mythology, colonial subtexts and jump scares!! ๐Ÿ‘ป

If you, like me, are a fiend for deductive narrative games (Obra Dinn, Golden Idol, etc) then you must check out the tremendous The Seance of Blake Manor (out today), which has become one of my favorite games of 2025. Only caveat is that I ran into a few nasty bugs www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATH_...

Also things you can fund through a loan or rev % which both might be cheaper. Loan adds more risk to your company tho. A publisher should bring more than just a check to cover relevant expenses like QA & loc.

Ouch but.... Not false. We need people to drop the excel sheets and get in early, get in and take risk instead of just being fucking middlemen. If you're taking revenue % - fucking earn it.
