So pumped to play the Generation Exile demo today since it is out for Next Fest! Already really excited with just the beginning parts I've seen so far. Fingers crossed my PC can hold up against the (admittedly very pretty) shaders & the management sim processing needs. #IndieGame #GenerationExile

Hey #indiedev, if you're headed to GDC this year and happen to run into either @1chidoh.bsky.social or @jo-devs.bsky.social, the secret password is "Go WILD, Star Child!" if you want to hear about one of our new upcoming projects! 👀 #godot #gamedev

Since 5k of you decided my #indiedev opinions and random hobby interests were worth following me over- I should probably post more of my stuff!
Anyone know how to run polls here on bsky? Might be nice to ask y'all what sort of content you were hoping to see more of 😅

Just finished playing "FAR: Lone Sails" and I'm incredibly impressed. What an amazing, self contained play experience. Without a single line of text outside of the logo and credits scenes, this has to be one of the best examples of environmental storytelling I've seen in the past 5 years. #indiegame

T - 2 hours until my talk about indie funding, resource access and managing scope + morale in #gamedev.
If you haven't been at @gdocexpo.com this week, you're missing out! To my #indiegame devs, stay connected. Be in community with each other. Network & share resources. That's how we survive! 💪💯

Gave a talk today on advanced project management for #gamedev to the students over at Gameheads Oakland today! 🌈✨
Hopefully my advice can help them avoid common pitfalls and some of the more nuanced issues that they might face during their ~2 month summer accelerator program! Best of luck y'all 😁

I've been working on a #GameDev project called 「POST SPACE」 that is still pretty early in development. There's still a lot that I *can't* share yet, but if you're familiar with my previous work, go join the mailing list early 👀 tinyurl.com/post-space-dev
