I've been saying this for ages: there's no reason to be mean to game developers. 👇

I spent some time with Jerzy, one half of @clumsybearstudio.com‬ , to talk about their game Hungry Horrors (demo on Steam!) and a lot of other topics! 🎒💛

Get ready for a *nice* episode of the show! 🎒💛

What to do when episode 69 is coming up? Well, you invite the director of a game about male g3n!t4ls, of course. 🎒💛

I had the honour of chatting with Evan Greenwood, founder of @freelives.bsky.social and one of the OG devs of Genital Jousting! 😱

Full episode out 19 May! 👇

If there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I'm a big anthropology nerd. 👀

I invited The Gaming Anthropologist on the show for a special episode on gaming communities, and why play is so important for us humans! 😱

I've always loved this beautiful indie with a time loop, and I reached out to the game's writer Jim Griffiths for a chat!

Do you ever stop to think that... video games are basically time loops? 🤔

This chat with The Sexy Brutale writer and narrative director Jim Griffiths was eye-opening in a lot of ways!

Full episode out next Monday, 21 April 🎒💛 #IndieGames

It's not every day that I get to chat to a published #tabletop designer. 🤓

I spent some time with Tim Wiseman from Why Not AI, developers of HPL: Nyarlathotep Rising, to talk about the interesting overlaps between tabletop and video game design!

What do you even say to something like this? 🎒💛

This is why I do The Indie Diarist. Some of the #indiedevs I host are more than guests. Many end up becoming supporters, allies for the podcast's vision... friends.

Maybe I'm doing something right after all. 🥹

Thank you @folklandsgame.bsky.social 💛

This was definitely one of my favorite interviews. Check it and listen to us talk about games and perhaps life itself…. But mainly games👇🏼

What would a story from the cradle of civilisation look like? Probably much like the one @lunargamesuruk.bsky.social is making. 🎒💛

I spent some time with Ahmed to kick off Season 3 of the show in style – and what a beautiful episode it was!

I had an absolutely wonderful time talking to
@theindiediarist.bsky.social last month! We talked about lots of things, but especially how to get into game dev and get your feet under you.
