I launched a Kickstarter for Shutter Story but it went under the radar!
It's a horror game about revealing and categorizing signs of the paranormal in a family's photographs ๐ธ

What if there were a better way to discover new games?
๐Explore a universe of games.
๐ฏBigger cards = most similar.
๐Card behaviour = genre.
๐ฟClick = trailers and screenshots.
๐ฐFlip = game details and price.
Ludocene subscribers are testing the prototype this month: www.ludocene.com/subscription
I think Christoffer wrote something like 1.2M words.... That's a lot of throat lozenges if one were to go and do VA.
That said.... You never know.

Small joys
Still cannot believe I'm hosting the IGFs at GDC this year.
The IGFs are THE show I've looked up to for my entire career! But I'm not doing it alone! I've assembled collaborators and presenters who I deeply admire and are the ones making the indie dev community the best damn community on earth
Seconded
I did want to be able to lick the gems for good luck, but it's also fun to see people discover Jake's puzzle type - having enjoyed his other games I love to see people experiencing it for the first time.
Lunar did a stellar job!

Very much looking forward to this. The crew are amazing.
Just as with Norco and Blue Prince, I had mostly walking in mind when I signed Seance. So glad to see y'all enjoying it!
Indie Recommendation: The Sรฉance of Blake Manor
From out of nowhere comes one of 2025's best games - a murder-mystery set in 19th Century Ireland with outstanding writing, smart investigation systems, ravens, ghosts, druids and more.

It's definitely worked well so far!
Well, let's just say I don't expect you to go hungry
Don't get me started on my signing strategy
I reviewed The Seance of Blake Manor by @spookydoorway.bsky.social and absolutely adored it. Interesting procedural detective work, folk horror, Irish mythology, colonial subtexts and jump scares!! ๐ป

"so what is your signing strategy"
"Things I want to see northernlion play 200 episodes off and also Cats intersection of interests"
I mean... Who doesn't love some solid deduction
If you, like me, are a fiend for deductive narrative games (Obra Dinn, Golden Idol, etc) then you must check out the tremendous The Seance of Blake Manor (out today), which has become one of my favorite games of 2025. Only caveat is that I ran into a few nasty bugs www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATH_...

Also things you can fund through a loan or rev % which both might be cheaper. Loan adds more risk to your company tho. A publisher should bring more than just a check to cover relevant expenses like QA & loc.
Yesssss
