I'm sorry for all the folks affected by layoffs recently. It's not much easier in the indie space and most of us are just getting by. If you are thinking about starting up a studio or going indie, I'm happy to share what I've learned running a small studio for the last 8 years with a remote team.

It's always such a rewarding feeling when, as a team, you put a lot of effort into crafting something intentional, and people resonate with the work. In other words, folks are picking up what we're putting down.

"The vibe is melancholy, but Ambrosia Sky’s gameplay is lively and kinetic. Cleaning the fungi feels good but also urgent, as the simulated spores detonate from flame, crackle with electricity and, at times, regrow."

If you're still thinking to yourself: I've got *plenty* of time to play the Ambrosia Sky demo, well, you're not... technically wrong.

Final piece of SGF coverage from me at @ign.com. My game of the show was @softrains.bsky.social's Ambrosia Sky. It's been described as a combination of Metroid Prime and Powerwash Simulator, but I don't think that does what I played justice. A beautiful, intimate, and deeply affecting game.
