Video games should be allowed to fail. Video games should be allowed to do just okay. Video games should be allowed to not be instant hits but still find a core audience. And video game developers should not have to get laid off and start over every time they don’t make the next massive hit.

We recently launched a charity drive for Palestine on Itch, and we are seeking games and content from game devs and creators to participate in a bundle 100% of the proceeds going to UNRWA USA.

Had peeps try an older version of the game at Makers Massive dev talk a while ago. Here you can see the majestic fish.

It looks quite different now. Crazy how time flies.

You can check out the original version of Gary Is Loud in the link below. It was made for a local game jam with its own set of quirks and frustrations. But it’s what started this whole journey.

There were some funny bugs and quirks here and there. But peeps seemed to enjoy it overall. Yayy.

Now to revamp everything based on feedback😭.

Starting early at Comic-Con and getting some useful feedback from players. I made a few tweaks based on yesterday’s feedback and it already feels more cat-like.

You can play Gary Is Loud at Comic-Con Cape Town!

Don’t mind the few bugs here and there though, you can just ignore those😅.

Looking through some old files. This was an initial asset test outside of Unity for Gary Is Loud. Even back then it looked good in my opinion. The grass in the current game looks off in comparison.

Mann who knew that trying to rush a demo for a game and putting it on steam while juggling life would be so.. not easy. Welp at least I’m learning from this experience😂.

See you at the Wholesome Games livestream on Saturday, June 7 at 12 PM ET! 👀👀

If you're looking for work in gamedev, here's a thread of guides I've written about everything from setting freelance rates to writing a good cover letter

I've been in gamedev for over 13 years and been on both sides of the interview table a lot, so these are all the things I wish I'd known

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games!

Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI.

You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:-

Indie devs: if you're currently working on a game, I wanna see it. Show me. SHOW ME. 👀

You can now get a 10 year license for Modo, the best 3D modeling software ever created, for FREE.

A video game can not win me over mechanically, if I don't vibe with the setting.

The best gameplay in the world, universally beloved by everyone, won't do a single thing for me if the setting/vibe isn't something I am into. For some of us, gameplay is apparently not king. 😂
