The Golem is out today! Very happy with this game. If you play, I hope you enjoy it. :-) store.steampowered.com/app/1270390/Th… bateleur.itch.io/the-golem

👉🔴 GAME ANNOUNCEMENT THE BUTTON EFFECT – a short, minimalist first-person puzzler in which every button has a purpose. Unlock and explore an elusive museum, full of hidden connections and spatial insights...🧩 👉🔵 Press WISHLIST on Steam :) #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

We're excited to announce that applications are open for the Draknek New Voices Puzzle Grant 2024 🎉 The grant will award $15,000 to 6 thinky puzzle game developers from all over the world, and a year's mentorship with genre veterans. Deadline: October 7th More info 👇

@TheThirdKate In fact if people could just stop using Microsoft and Adobe proprietary formats in general that would be ideal.

If we could all just agree never to send each other .xlsx files, I'd be so grateful.

@Demruth That's the real trick, isn't it? Very rare for that to happen IME. Good luck!

And also, it would be nice to see aspects of the project start developing even in periods where I personally haven’t been able to drive much. And not having to come up with every single idea myself.

Probably gonna start bringing on collaborators soooooon. Think it’s at the stage where even if I still personally have a hell of a lot of work left, there’s more than enough proven out and can start spinning up the other necessary roles.

The fourth Thinky Puzzle Game Jam will be happening on June 28th-July 5th this year, organised as always by our friend @fastramdesign! thinkygames.com/news/join-us-f…

ThinkyCon starts in less than three hours! :-)

I don't normally post puzzle game links until I'm done with the game, but this is a tough one so I might be on it for a month! It's also quite brilliant. steven-miller.itch.io/sokobrawn

I don't know where the idea for this came from, but it's genius! (Helps if you know Unity a bit...)

Interesting rendering problem I hadn't run into before. The line at the top is drawn by the same shader as the one at the bottom, but with bloom added. It ruins the anti-aliasing! Not sure what to do about that...

Is this the most ambitious puzzle game ever made? :-O

@OjamajoShirami Your success is due to your own excellent work! I nominated and have voted for Magicube as game of the year in the Think Awards (thinkygames.com/news/and-the-n…).

The first word Magicube got was from the designer of my favourite The golem. My small game has been blessed with so many miracles in the last year. I remember this was the first miracle and it encouraged my anxious heart.

@MurrayH83 Thought experiment: Given that any could be the answer for different reasons, play it in pairs as a game. Without discussion, pick the same "odd one out" as your partner to win. Best strategy will depend on a variety of factors extrinsic to the image.

Which one doesn't belong? #WODB

@sftrabbit @thinky_games Ah, that's awesome! Well done! \o/

🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thank you for all your support, everyone! So glad that my channel has helped folks discover some great puzzle games. Now to finish final preparations for the @thinky_games Cerebral Puzzle Showcase tomorrow. It's been a busy few months!

A Slug's Dream is live now! Itch: marcosd.itch.io/a-slugs-dream Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2303290/A_… Thanks so much to the @games_astra community for all the support these last 1.5 years :)

@marcos_don @games_astra Many congratulations - I'm very much looking forward to playing!

It starts today! :-) store.steampowered.com/sale/CerebralP…

OK, I finally have some time to play @playViewfinder ...I've been looking forward to this for ages and so far it looks like the team have done an incredible job with it! store.steampowered.com/app/1382070/Vi…

Impressive how large this event has become! Excited to see all the new stuff! (And yes, The Golem will be in there again this year.)

@Demruth No rush, just means I get longer looking forward to it. :-)

So you might think, Antichamber took somewhere between 3 and 7 years to make, why am I taking so long this time? Well… It took me 26 years to release my first commercial game, and may be around… *checks year* 13 years by my next one. So by that metric my pace will have doubled!

@TheThirdKate Impressive! I feel like you did a great job of really exploring a lot of varied design ideas.

As my Astra Fellowship comes to an end, I thought I'd share a #screenshotsaturday of (nearly) all the prototypes & projects I worked on over the last 18 months! The vast majority are playable on my itch page katekillick.itch.io. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #unity3d
