We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games!
Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI.
You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:-

Even though it's freeware/pwyw so it's not technically on sale like my main paid projects are, you can learn some things about designing a turn-based RPG for 50% off of $0.00 I suppose lol
"A Simple Book About How To Design a Turn-based RPG" is a pay what you want, short 16k word book for anyone who wants to make those kinds of games but isn't sure about the whats or hows

Yes, there's that new Stranger Things season, but also this could be the fifth night in a row that I fall asleep while watching Shabake.
(Is Shabake good? I have no idea. But I'd read like 22 more of these things.)

It would be extremely cool if a bunch of people called payment processors over Black Friday weekend to ask why they're telling people what they can and can't buy with their own money. This holiday season, give the gift of calling payment processors over Black Friday weekend
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.
What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

Anode Heart Layer Null hit its full release, I'm playing a bit, and it's really good.
Anode Heart might be a top ten rpg for me, so I'm not sad to see a digimon card game spinoff, but it's also nice that they've streamlined a lot of how it plays and broadened the cardpool considerably.

Legend Of Legaia is one of those games that fully unlocked something in my brain, even way before I thought I could be a designer.

If you've seen the #ScarSeal playtest you'll know I'm a fraud cause that FG based button input system blend with turned based combat? PS1 era tech, but its some of the greatest game design I've ever encountered.
Hunt this one down and experience it for yourself!
