Indie games are art, let’s make some.
The team killed it on this one and I’m so excited the way it gives a taste of the themes and ideas for the game.
NEW GRAFT TRAILER—WISHLIST NOW!

*ding!* goes the Twitter oven and out pops another pundit brain cooked to “Nazis and bigotry are normal” perfection.
Look, I just don't care about defending random candidates and I don't care about destroying them. The point of politics is to improve people's lives, and for those not actually in legislatures, the most productive activity is to change the ground politicians feel comfortable standing on.
Politicians Aren’t Heroes - The American Prospect
Issues lead politicians, not the other way around. It would be incorrect to say that politicians don’t matter—they most certainly do—but they matter less than people might think, and are often better ...

i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.

This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media.

I was not ready for 2025’s gleeful push to en-dumbify the population. Cut all the research, no more kids reading…. If @conorsen.bsky.social really believes this, I’d rather he told us through a TikTok dance video.

This largely lines up with my read on things and it's also very well produced and edited. Lots of insight here.
Video game investors are feeling better about the market, but admit they’re shifting away from investing in very large AAA projects, and are more interested with smaller teams and focused ideas.

For some reason this app is serving me non-stop coffee one-liners like, “if that’s the coffee, I’ll have what SHE’S having!”
I don’t know what algorithmic sin I committed, but, please, I repent. Let me out of unfunny coffee joke hell.

This is a simile I can appreciate on a cinematic and political level, unfortunately.
Though it is funny to imagine Owen Wilson showing up just after the dosed coffee in Hateful 8 in his Royal Tenenbaum’s outfit.

No, Democrats, these little auction signs aren't it. You're acting like Wes Anderson characters who don't understand that they're in a Tarantino movie.

Working in Unreal has definitely sped up the rate at which we go from 0 to cool.
Here's a quick look at what goes into designing an environment for GRAFT, from ideation to concept art to an in-engine prototype.

Trying something new, talking about behind the scenes and how we see the market right now as indie devs.
What goes into getting your game announced during The Game Awards? Money's a key ingredient, but there's a big payoff in building awareness for your game if you can swing the ante.
