I also love love love how they use brackets to convey what characters think instead of saying.
Sometimes i just want to know what my characters think but don't say, and Jakuza 0 gave me that!

Finished #Jakuza0 last night after having played it for weeks!
54 h playtime, and only 33% of side-quests completed...

I also cried at the end!! Highly recommend to everyone! Such a well-crafted game, you can see how much love went into it and how witty the writers are. Ah, I NEED MORE!!

Hey #indiedev community, let's meet up at Gamescom to uplift each other ๐Ÿ’š

My team at @cozy-impact.bsky.social and I work on a cozy game. But I work remotely so opportunities to meet fellow devs are limited... I would love to make new friends who are in the same boat though ๐Ÿ’ƒ

Reach out to meet!

I just caught myself feeling a wave of pure joy.

When Iโ€™m deep in my "tunnel vision for hours straight" work mode, my husband doesnโ€™t interrupt me, doesn't even say a word. Just quietly leaves a fresh glass of water on my desk every time i finish the previous one <3

True, and humanity will die on the hill of constant "optimising".
Moreover, I went through all these recent years in games, but I still can't wrap my head around high profits and team layoffs. AI is definitely making the process more visible and faster

Eww this is so upsetting :(

Saw this template on TikTok and thought it's a cool way to show my gaming story!

Narrative-led & puzzle games have my heart forever ๐Ÿ’™

Honourable mentions: Inside, Portal, To the Moon, Life Is Strange, and The Beginner's Guide.

I started playing Yakuza 0 (my first Yakuza game, tho I heard A LOT about the series) and I can't get over the epicness of the mundane!!!

And there's literally Don Quijote musicin the Don Quijote store?? This game is 10/10 Japan experience, and I'm not even done with Chapter 3

Hey, my pleasure!! Also feel free to ping me/reach out if you want an outsider look at the scope of your ideas ๐Ÿซถ

But overall, my best advice for first-starters is to have one cool feature or short cool story and make it work instead of building the whole world!

I feel what always happens is people decide "let's make something super small!" but then start making it, and it grows and grows until it's all big and complex.
Finishing it then takes a ton of hope and energy, and you're simply tired of it at that point

So, don't only start small but keep small!

Did you know that the UN General Assembly made June 17th a Desertification and Drought Day?

This yearโ€™s theme for it is โ€œRestore the Land.โ€ This is a topic very dear to us--so dear that we are making our game, The Regreening, about it!
How cool would it be if we could regreen Earth like this?๐Ÿค๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒพ

I dreamt today that I had a runny nose while in the UK. Saw a doctor. Got zero advice, zero meds, just a ยฃ500 bill for the visit๐Ÿ’ธ

My subconscious is clearly trying to tell me something about capitalism...
