I put more effort into this than I planned but they deserve it!!

Do you, small / solo dev, know if your game is in IGF this year? No, do you REALLY? Have you asked your publisher? I unfortunately must relay to you that I can name three examples this year of high-profile IGF 2025 games that were submitted either: By the indie’s publisher, without informing the developer at all By the indie’s publisher’s externally contracted PR firm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you want to know why this is a FUCKING BAD IDEA? Here’s an example of a thing that happened this year: Judge: Hi! I’m having some technical issues with the build. Could you help me out? PR Company who submitted: We’ll get in touch with the developer and get back to you. — *THREE WEEKS OUT OF THE 1 MONTH JUDGING PERIOD PASS* — Judge: Hello????? Judging is almost over. Is everything okay? PR Company who submitted: We’ll have an updated build for you when the game comes out [note: That’s gonna be after judging is over] Result: Your game has wasted its opportunity completely.

Now that IGF and GDC is over I finally got around to writing up my postscript on IGF submissions and some of the issues we ran into in 2025. If you plan to submit your game in 2026 I recommend reading this, tbh. auratriolo.com/blog/2026/03...

Here's a little spoiler:

He inspired me to start drawing.💖

—My first animation with Vash the Stampede was made back in January. But I'm very proud of the work I did, it was a bit difficult and it was an interesting experience! ✨🌠~(˘▾˘~)

a sketch of a smartphone with tactile buttons for home/window/back, headphone jack, no AI BS, sim card thingy you can open with your nail, camera that doesn't cover the damn screen, and a 5 inch/127mm screen which is a reasonable size

I wouldn't say I'm massively into phones or anything but I sketched this out of frustration bc why are there no modern phones with these features, it would be so perfect and I'm mad the only ones are old and slow

Illustration of Vash from Trigun in a limited palette of dark blue, red and yellow inspired by the style of JMFenner

Been rewatching Trigun98 with a friend! Vash my lifelong lil guy
This is also inspired by @jmfenner.bsky.social 's work! I love his shape language and limited palette

Hi everyone, so I been getting comments and messages about having this available as a shirt so have decided to put it up on teepublic and redbubble for international orders and set up a pre-order for people in the Philippines

LINKS!

this is good to know. I think it's still important to leave comments or calls about these kinds of things because these proposals are real things anti-trans organizations are trying to work on, but yeah it sucks that there are people trying to do the most to capitalize on trans fear.

EVERY SINGLE PART of a lily is toxic!

Petals, leaves, pollen, the water in the vase.

You can celebrate someone other ways besides killing their cat.

I worked as a vet tech for 10 years. Let me assure you, you don't want to see your cat go through this nightmare.

鋼の

Trigun collab cafes be like

It's about addictive game design (yess!!) And predatory monetization (fuck yessss!!)

You see this? This is exactly why I had to go off HRT.

Do you understand how sad and terrifying it is to make these life choices? To have to think about these things daily? To worry about your safety ALL THE TIME?

We just want to live our lives in peace.

Three immutable facts:

1. Mainstream media avoids platforming trans people

2. Everyday Trans+ voices, speaking about their own lives, humanise a deeply marginalised community the British press has spent years vilifying

3. Stephanie Lynette is kick ass
