🍄 What? Another mushrooms farm update nobody's asked for? We started a new batch a few days ago and they are already growing so much! 🍄

No worries, we'll go back to our regular indie games content soon!

And after over three years of this shit, I'm finally FREE!

Oh, almost forgot: FUCK ADOBE!

Something a bit different: while I'm still working in games, I recently acquired a small farm in the Italian mountains and started experimenting with different crops.

Today, my first flush of button mushrooms was ready to harvest! 🍄

There's a repurposed steel mill near my office that's a favourite among street artists, meaning there are often new murals popping up on the walls.

Today I took a detour and spotted this one. I feel it needs to be shared so as many people as possible can see how amazing it is.

It's #wishlistwednesday again and here are some of the coolest games I spotted this week!
(clockwise, @mooncat.games, @doinkstudios.com, @ratpackdigital.com, @lunabeat.bsky.social)

Are you working on an interesting #indiegame? Drop a link below, I'm curious to see what you're up to!

You mean one of these? These used to be the staple of my schooldays

Look, I'm not saying I'm getting worse with age but how exactly did I beat this whole game when I was 6?

I'm getting my ass repeatedly handed to me 😅

Decided to step away from the office for the weekend and touch the proverbial grass (and some snow - I found snow in June)!

Enjoy some pictures!

IT'S (ALMOST) TIME FOR SOME KNOWLEDGE!

In about an hour, I'll be sitting down with @bippinbits.bsky.social (Dome Keeper, PVKK) to talk development, publishing, and what's the effect of a successful release on a small indie studio!

The Steam Next Fest algorithm is kicking in and I already discovered some amazing indie games!

Do you have a demo in the festival? Drop a link in the comments if you're looking for feedback! I'll also answer any marketing questions you might have!

Reshare this so more indie devs can see it!

Finally did the math! Over 680,000 people already saw our reannouncement trailer for Little Nemo And The Guardians of Slumberland in less than a week - and it's only the beginning!

#indiegames press & media, get in touch if you want to take a closer look!

It's almost time for #pitchyagame again! 🎉

While we wait, I'm ready to take a look at more #indiegames and share some marketing and PR knowledge!

Drop your pitch below and I'll rate it! Share this post for free feedback and marketing tips as well!

Here's mine! Weather hasn't been great lately but still pretty fun to go out and shoot. Looking to get a longbow at some point.

Hey #gamedev people! I'm curious - what do you do when you're not working on your games?

I spend entirely too much time hurling sticks at paper targets!
April 18, 2025 at 2:26 PM
Almost forgot!

With the amazing people @weirdjohnnystudio.bsky.social, we announced Last Mage yesterday!

If you're into roguelike adventures, magic and dungeon-crawling, don't forget to check this one out on Steam!

NOOOOOOOOOOOH 😭😭😭

🎉The Fool's Apprentice is on Steam's Popular Upcoming three full days before the game goes out! 🎉

When we started working with @theplanardanse.bsky.social in January, I knew this game would be a special one! Look at that follower count increase over the past three months! ❤️❤️

Ah yeah! The flashy new AI assistant that NOBODY FUCKING OPTED INTO!

C'mon! Are we quite done stuffing AI into everything and then pushing it down people's throats?
April 10, 2025 at 1:27 PM
Ah, yes! The Orange Clown is at it again! Go on, convince me this isn't just a ploy for some good old insider trading!

#PortfolioDay is almost over, but here are some of the #indiegames I worked on in the past few years! Mostly marketing and PR, but some brand design and marketing art as well in there!

Speaking of: I am now taking on new projects! If you need any help w/ your game, reach out!

Ahah that's just the voice of experience!

Adobe getting dunked on the moment they poked their head out shows just how important catering to your community is.

Moral of the story? Listen to your users! Communities can make or break you - this goes for #gamedev, software, products, basically anything you can think of!
