I'll include a screenshot so it qualifies for #screenshotSaturday, but:
Our demo is finally out!!!
It's a Character Driven Detective game with Chess Based Battle Mechanics (I promise it's fun even if you don't like chess! (I suck at chess!))

When a major story beat in Ghost of Yotei was labeled "The Cost of Revenge," I felt relief because I am glad a Playstation game is finally covering this topic. I hope we can get some answers re: revenge, and whether it is a bad thing, and maybe even causes a cycle of violence

Sometimes I feel like every dev should be assigned their own manager, like the guy who sits next to the rally driver reading the map, just to queue work up for them perfectly

The most exhausting thing about game dev is proudly polishing off a feature (for me at inkle usually that’s UI), and then realising that some subtle issue means you have to rebuild or rework it again. For every bloody feature. Like five times each.

More stylish, cooler, and flashier than THIS? Not likely!
Potential publisher: Game is great! But can you...
- Make the combat more stylish (like Persona 5)
- Make the menus cooler (like P5)
- Make the animations flashier (like P5)
Me: Sure! Can I have a fraction of P5's budget?

Ooof, look, we’d all have rather that it looked shit; and it doesn’t look as good as Disco Elysium, but the trailer for No Parades does make it look like it’ll be one of the better games to come out that year

This looks dope, looking forward to playing it
Noir turn-based RPG Aether and Iron, from Seismic Squirrel, is inspired by the likes of Into the Breach and Bioshock. Its vehicle combat is great fun, and its alternative-history New York is a joy to explore.

With Baldur's Gate 3's DnD roleplaying and the tactical battles of Into the Breach, I've never played anything like this Art Deco RPG
Taking the dice rolling and combat of Baldur's Gate 3 and blending it with Bioshock's looks, Aether and Iron needs to be on your wishlist.
