From the moment I opened up Rosewater, I was taken aback by how cinematic it is. Every single piece of the game is crafted with unbelievable care, like it’s the most effort @grundislav.games has ever put into anything.

Finally finished playing the brilliant Seance of Blake Manor by @spookydoorway.bsky.social

Absolutely stunning writing and world building, beautiful character designs and graphic novel-style art, great voice acting, & I learnt quite a bit about Irish folklore and mythology which was so interesting!

This week’s indie spotlight in Creative Bloq is Perfect Tides: Station to Station, a point-and-click adventure from webcomic artist turned game dev Meredith Gran that’s a 2003 time capsule evoked with 90s era MS Paint-looking sprites www.creativebloq.com/3d/video-gam...
This indie game feels like a playable time capsule from 2003
Why the lo-fi art of Perfect Tides: Station to Station hits hard.

"Punches That Land" by Meredith Gran is a case study and craft talk about transforming web comics into video games. It's rich in concrete examples of how sequential art, especially the creative use of digital panels and interaction, deepens the narrative. #comics

Consume Me is finally out! This game blew me away when I looked at it for IGF. It deals with the real pressures of growing up as a teenage girl while telling that story through a whirlwind of delightful QWOP-like minigames. It’s charming and fun and smart and I hope everyone checks it out.

did you feel stupid, fat, lazy, and ugly in high school? well i did...but at least i made a life-simulation RPG about it!

Here it is, the Digital Diversity interview that I've been so excited to do for the one and only Technobabylon by @technocratgames.bsky.social
