It's itch.io creator day!
Although all my work is free or pay what you want, it would be much appreciated if you left a review or a comment on one of my games (at ghargremxul.itch.io), or shared a game or blog post of mine (at ghargremxul.mt) that you liked with a friend. It really helps! ❤️

I've been living vicariously through the posts of everyone currently at PAX Unplugged. Looks amazing, and would have loved to be there meeting everyone. Enjoy!

Make bad art. Make uncertain art. Make indifferent art. Make confused, and confusing, art. Make uninspired art. Making bad art is the essential and irreplaceable aspect of making great art, next time
make bad art because some of the worst people you know are making even worse art and literally nothing you make will be that bad.
make bad art!!! it's better than making no art!!!

Spoke to @junchgaming.bsky.social about the Play For Peace bundle, and a couple of game designers about why itch bundles have been such a crucial way for the industry to raise funds with their games and art
“I firmly believe that everyone should be doing everything in their power to do what we can to end the genocide in Palestine."

So what is Għar Gremxul all about?
I thought I'd write up this thread to give people a bit more context about Għar Gremxul and what I think about when making games. Here, I explain four core design pillars that guide me.

Out of curiosity, is there anything that people would like to see more of from my work? Game genres, themes, formats, you name it. I'm interesting to see what people are interested in!

Attention #TTRPG community: If you found an indie game or supplement you like, take a moment to tell the creator on social media. Unlike big companies, indie devs WILL notice and often greatly appreciate you taking the time to reach out. Sometimes it's the only way we know anyone likes our stuff!

Something I want the success of games like Clair Obscur, Blasphemous, and 1000xResist, is that games can draw from very specific, non US cultural touchstones and reach audiences

Your "dumb little projects" are so important during this harrowing time. Don't forget that. Your creativity has value, for yourself and for the world.

IF. YOU. LIKE. SOMETHING. SAY. SOMETHING.
I know so many people who are like "well I don't know what to say so I just don't" and like
_anything_
If you don't say anything, the artist will often just... stop.

You may have seen this post circling talking about how important it is to tell creators when you appreciate what they do.
The irony is it's MY post from Tumblr stolen by someone else. Please reskeet THIS post & NOT the stolen one bc we support creators making their own work on bluesky.
