We are ex-Blizzard devs that made an FPS where you control a spaceship. We just added Treasure Hunt, an extraction-light game mode: 🌌5 Zones, AI Enemies, Upgrade Your Ship 🤖Solo Player Ship + AI Crew 📢Use Proxy Chat to make allies or enemies Would you try our demo?

This solo indie dev is making a chess roguelike where your pieces gain abilities & level up - Give pieces unique abilities - Sacrifice your own pieces to a blood god for power - Steal the enemy king's ability Would you play this? It's called Prismarch.

We’ve just updated the UI tags on all cards.The old coloured system made it hard to quickly identify card types. Now you can tell exactly what kind of card it is at a glance! 👀 [Link for the game below]

Sunderfolk is free on Epic this week. It's basically Gloomhaven, and you can use your phone as controllers for coach co-op

@crunch10461 We are free on Xbox Game Pass right now and have a good number of players. If you are on PS5 I would try turning on cross play. We do try to make sure you get a good match and depending on your region it can take 3-5 minutes for sure.

@DustinBrowder Is game dead on console? Over 5 minutes to find a match every game mode . Fun game proximity chat always the best

We started our PvP Spaceship game in 2020 ☠️2025 we launched as a Spaceship Battle Royale 🚀We added a team fleet battle mode 🪙 2026 we added a PvP light Extraction Mode Have we cooked enough for you to try our demo or play for free on Xbox Game Pass? (links in comments)

@DustinBrowder Ok but hear me out. What about making the Beam Rifle even stronger. I'm talking Perfect Dark, FarSight XR-20 level. And some people might tell you it's not balanced (And they would be absolutely right). But just...Just hear me out ok.

Today: 🪙Pitching some new loot drop ideas. 👾Discussing availability of mid-sized locations. 🔥Someone will surely bring up the Beam Rifle.

@BeanJuiceStudio As a Dev, you are a boxer. An MMA fighter. If you want to win, you have to risk getting choked out in front of 1000s of people. Sometimes, even if you are really good. You will lose. Or be wrong. Or a make a mistake. Whatever. Is OK.

Shoutout to all the thick-skinned game devs out there. A fragile ego is a death sentence in this industry. Stay receptive to criticism, listen to feedback, and never let your emotions get the best of you.

Thank you very much! We are currently free on Xbox Game Pass. We also have a free demo on Steam. Full access to the whole game for about 10 hours of play.

Everyone has to try this game out I believe you will be amazed

@KryyssX @gamearttales The level of specialization on these teams is also very high. You need animators AND riggers AND modelers. Early on it was just "artist." You have systems designers and level designers and quest designers. Instead of just "designer." Or even just "engineer."

@DustinBrowder @gamearttales Suddenly, the reason why games used to be made in 2 years but now take 3-4 yrs makes sense. It's actually 2 years of development and 2 years of meetings just discussing development. The typical dev time has not really increased all that much over time.

I don't know about you, but I feel like this every day. #gamedev #indiegame

Wildgate is now live on Xbox Game Pass for PC. 🏴‍☠️New Treasure Hunt Mode - 5 Zones, Extraction Light 🚀Fleet Battle Active - 3 ships vs 3 ships 🥇Artifact Brawl - Longer TTK, Weaker Boarding Come play for free...if you have Game Pass.

@KryyssX @gamearttales Yes. The bigger the team got the more your senior people were experiencing this. Eventually your best game makers spent their whole time in meetings and rarely touched an editor or wrote code or made any art. This is part of why small teams are better

@DustinBrowder @gamearttales Tim Cain has said that in his career, devs spend most weekday mornings in meetings and don't have an opportunity to actually work on the game until the afternoon; unless they come in early before most of the office arrives. Would that be your experience too?

@sensational965 Just crunch. No life. Always burnt out.

Hey game devs, i wanna how do you manage time crunch versus enjoying your other passions to avoid burnout? #gamedev #indiedev
