- The game is so good that even fans troll the Steam reviews! #Expedition33 "Really? Like, really? What the hell are you doing reading negative reviews? Instead of playing this great game! GOOOOOOOOOOOO"
- Reposted by Ludovic BasGame With Balls is now out! Thank you guys for the great support the past year and more levels will be added througout 2026! More info in the news post on Steam. Only on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3745250/... #steamdeck #steamrelease #indiegame #gamedev #solodev
- I’m sold! Played for 106min. So I'm late for the other games left.
- So let's try Expedition 33 for an hour, see if it deserves the hype 🤓 #pegases2026 And then I still have few games on my backlog...

- Hey les gamedev, j'ai écrit un article sur les seuils et frais bancaires lors d'un payout d'une plateforme de jeux avec des pistes d'optimisation. J'espère que ça vous sera utile ! loudoweb.fr/payout-seuil... #gamedev #solodev #indiedev
- Interesting to know that GOG has a wrapper to help bring achievements and such from Steam. docs.gog.com/steam-sdk-wr... #gamedev #gameachievements
- Repression behind closed doors in Iran. We are talking of thousands of deaths in few days...unarmed protesters. This metal song is still relevant. Hunger for freedom is still vibrant today. "Perpetual scrutiny Smothered the will" www.youtube.com/watch?v=acYV...

- J'ai fait ma petite rétrospective sur mon travail de #gamedev de l'année 2025 qui vient de s'achever ! loudoweb.fr/retrospectiv... #solodev #gamedevfr
- Too many games to fit in my screen 😱 Need to test all of them before the end of the month. Which one to start with? #Pégases2026 #gameawards
- > "you’ll sell fewer copies at more money per copy, but it might hurt your review percentage and the enthusiasm of your word of mouth." "enthusiasm of your word of mouth" I think it nailed it.
- I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.
- Did you know that Red Terror on Playdate can be modded? @johndogb.bsky.social put our faces on the game 🤣 Photo taken with a Game Boy Camera 🤓
- My plan for 2026: - release a new game on Steam Deck - partner with an artist - improve my skills in music - learn to draw - learn few skateboard tricks - post more on socials
- So my backlog of games grows by 42! All need to be tested before end of January for the Pegases awards of best french games. I accept the challenge but I'll probably failed and end up playing only roguelite. 😄 Already tested 3 because there were already in my library though. Wish me good luck.

- So this year Stripe takes 1% more to convert to my currency. That's 2.9% + 0,30$ on GROSS + 1% on NET now! I really need to set up my Stripe account with my bank account in USD. Should be possible like on Steam so I can rid of this new fee. #gamedev #solodev
- 2025 games played report! I only finished 4 games so far, all on Playdate: Dig Dig Dino, Chance's Lucky Escape, Black Hole Havoc and Fulcrum Defender. Having games at your disposal whenever you want helped a bit I guess. But they are small and good so that helps too!

- In last Crankstone update, I planned to have better balanced mini games. Having something like 50 levels by mini game would be great! It can be tough to reach level 10 in some of them!

- When crafting the game's sound design, you might occasionally stumble upon a sound by accident or coincidence. For example, I was recording the "oooo" sound but my kids made some noise so I said CHUT (shh in english) and it became the ghost's dying sound 😜 .#playdateConsole #sounddesign
- Only few days left and the vote will be over. Don't forget to vote for your favorite playdate game. And if you don't know what to vote, here is Crankstone for your consideration please ;) #playdateConsole
