What’s your Game of the Year you played in 2024 but didn’t come out this year?

HIGHLY recommend Citizen Sleeper if you love compellingly crafted, personal character-driven stories

A charming mute robot’s spaceship gets attacked by an alien who dismantles the ship and scatters the robot’s friends across the galaxy.

Rebuild the ship, rescue the robot’s friends, and defeat the alien menace.
In one sentence, please sell me on your favorite video game this year

This game has aura already
Month ago I started to make a game. I had zero coding experience and always avoided this medium, but with some good people around I could reach this state

I've started a pack for people doing cool or innovative stuff with game narrative. I'll keep adding to it as I remember more amazing games. And as more creators join Bluesky go.bsky.app/8kmdXpP

Reposting this for the new week! Happy hunting! 😎

🐦 Can't seem to find a thread on Bluesky about narrative design/game writing jobs, so I'm creating one! If you happen to know of any opportunities, please share them here. In the meantime, I'll kick things off by posting the first two jobs I came across. Let's do this! 🎮📝

PSA to writers, artists, and basically all game devs: please take breaks.
Your tendons and nerves (& mental health) deserve it
July 3, 2023 at 12:35 PM
For any artists on here. Seems like bsky allows a*i data scraping of your art -.-

Maybe something like Glaze can help fight it?

An extremely cringe look at 2009 me, justifying why games are art to my teacher with a ‘feature’ on Maddy Thorson (I don’t think she’s on bsky)

Is it just me or do uploaded gifs not play… 🤔

Welcome to the bsky game dev orientation 🧵!

Let's get you started with the basics of bsky, finding other game devs, and posting about your games!

Btw, this is based on the amazing artist orientation thread from @purlane.ink; make sure to check it out if you’re also in the art side of game dev!
Welcome to the Bluesky artist orientation 🧵!

This will get you started on the basics of how this network works, how to connect with other artists, and how to get your art seen.

If you’re a furry, I also highly recommend checking out @buttplug.engineer's furry orientation thread below:
Welcome to qDot’s “So you’re a furry that just joined bsky” 🧵

A guide to other posts on the network and servers furries should know because I’m sick of repeating myself

First up, @kamu.bsky.social ’s Furry Roll-call thread. Comment to let others know you’re here.
