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

This is just who I am and who I've always been. I'm Kai Nyame (she/her) Studio Director of @studiohitsuji.bsky.social, a passionate creator in the #indiedev scene, an enjoyer of spreadsheets, and someone who is 100% here in the #gamedev industry for the long haul.

I am #WhatAGameDevLooksLike

"so for me, games are survival" 🌟🔥✊🏽

Incredibly inspired by Gordon Bellamy and the other panelists in "Thriving in Games Across Generations" at Black Fest at #GDC2025 this evening.

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

Woah 👋 Lots of new followers today! Seems like there might be some new pre-GDC starter packs going around again!

For those of you new here- I'm Kai Nyame, Studio Director and Producer for the indie team over at @studiohitsuji.bsky.social and maker of all sorts of #indiedev and #solodev projects! 👍

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

Sometimes I'm just in awe of the artistic and creative force my team can bring to bear. 🥹 Y'all are the best indie game dev team a Studio Director could ever ask for!! ❤️💚🧡

@1chidoh.bsky.social I can't believe you added me already without letting me pay the cat tax

So... I was prepping a surprise for when I hit 1k but y'all are so fast??!

Hello to all my new indie dev and #gamedev peeps! I hope you stick around for studio survival tips n tricks, and also so we can all commiserate about NDA-pains, developer portal woes and showcase submission forms together!

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! 💪💯

Still not quite awake, but getting there 😴😸

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 CAN'T KEEP QUIET ANY LONGER!

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

GDC this year was monumentally successful for myself and the rest of the @studiohitsuji.bsky.social dev team! Truly a year to remember. #indiedev

Now time for a 12 hour nap 😴

Stealing @zette16.bsky.social's photo real quick to wax poetical about how amazingly the Black Girl Game Dev Brunch went this year! Love y'all and it makes me so happy to see everyone's joyous faces!
