Here's Adam walking through today's daily challenge for #BelowTheCrown He's currently in 5th place. Others managed more points by grabbing the other gold pile and forcing a checkmate - you can watch everyone's replay in-game :)

We're building some crazy-pants new discovery stuff in the coming months. Making any game announcements? Make sure you're on our radar by adding us to your outreach list.

Spoiler: We just go to every gamer's house with a bullhorn and yell the news at them at 4:13am. This is how discovery works.

We Love Every Game wants to solve Steam's discoverability problem
There are almost 20,000 new PC games hitting Steam every year. How do you find the gold ind the dross? This website is building tools to do just that — and it's not stopping at games.

7% of games on Steam self report using AI (up from 1% one year ago). @ichiro.bsky.social broke the story.

I'm now either a boffin or a brainbox. Either way, PC Gamer picked up my analysis of GenAI disclosures on Steam: www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/...
The brainbox behind Valve's Steam Labs says the number of Steam releases featuring GenAI in 2025 is 1 in 5, with 7% of all games on there now incorporating it: 'We’ve octupled last year’s figure'
But there's still "a vocal anti-AI sentiment among artists and gamers who simply won’t buy games with this stuff in."

The game industry’s motto for all of last year was "survive til 2025." And in some respects, that wasn't just wishful thinking.

Something’s wrong beneath the town of Ooze Machina...

And it’s spreading. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #IndieGameDev
