Normals has a Showcase section for your games, with feedback Hey! This is coming from normals.me, the forum that mirrors this community. Quick thing for the people here who make games, especially browser and small indie stuff. Normals has a section called Showcase, https://normals.me/showcase where you post your own project and that's allowed by design. Your post gets a "own product" label, there's one promo per product per community with a cooldown you see up front, and that's it. No guessing whether a mod will nuke it, no pretending to be a random fan. Say it's yours, link it, get feedback. Why I'm posting it here, last week someone posted about a small card game in this community and got called a bot for three comments before people realized he was just a fan. That whole mess happens because most places have no honest way to say "I made this" or "I like this". Showcase is that way. You can reply to Showcase posts from your own instance too, it all federates. #indiehackers #indiedev #gaming #gamedev https://normals.me/showcase Original post

Salut / Hello Fediverse! #Introduction I'm yPhil—longtime Linux/FOSS developer (creator of Pétrolette) and solo indie game dev. I just released President Grand Prix, a free & open-source (GPLv3) politico-satirical party racer inspired by Super Skidmarks on the Amiga (built in #GodotEngine, playable in browser or native #Linux).

Hi Mastodon 👋 I'm Joe, and this is my story. A while back I had to quit my job to take care of my mom. In the quiet hours I started teaching myself AI: YouTube videos, reading code on GitHub, and Harvard's free CS50 courses, where I earned my certificates. Today I build free AI apps under the name Ibis Tech, from North Carolina. 🧵 1/4 #introduction #LocalAI #IndieDev

Bloomscrolling, but you have to go outside. PocketPetal is a small game for walks. Snap any plant you pass and it joins your collection with a random rarity, Common to Mythic. Same odds for every plant, so a sidewalk weed can outrank a rose. The names come from image recognition and are often wrong, so the match % is always on screen and you can fix it. It's a game, not a field guide. iPhone for now: https://pocketpetal.com #Introduction #BloomScrolling #IndieDev #Plants

Speaking of which, I need a lawyer to draft a standard contract and anti-AI clause for my game studio as a whole. Working with artists and programmers all over the world and several continents at this point, but I am based in New York City. Can anyone help/recommend someone? #GetFediHired #indiedev #gamedev

#introduction Hello Mastodon!

Coming soon to the Mac App Store, free during launch. Until then: https://caviar-app.com/en #macOS #indiedev #privacy

Hi, Mastodon. This is Dancing Wolf Software, a small independent software studio in Arizona. We make practical apps and puzzle games, and we try to keep them small, clear and built with care. No accounts or tracking just because everyone else added them. Our first release is WolfMark Reader, a native Markdown reader and editor for the Mac. https://dancingwolfsoftware.com #Introduction #IndieDev #macOS #Markdown

Hi Fediverse 👋 We're PostRite, built by three cousins in Brazil, all software engineers. It's a social media scheduler: write a post once and send it to Mastodon and 11 other networks, with client approval by link and Instagram/Facebook comments & DMs in one inbox. It also works inside Claude via MCP. We'll share what we learn from each platform's API, weird parts included. Some of our posts are drafted with AI help and reviewed by us. #introduction #SocialMedia #IndieDev #SmallBusiness

Hi Mastodon! 👋 I’m Andrej, a student from Slovakia building Culacc on my own: cloud storage hosted in Germany, where files open in Google Docs, Office, Canva or built-in editors, and every save is kept as a version. I’ll post about building it solo, what works and what doesn’t in marketing, and real numbers along the way. #introduction #buildinpublic #indiedev #privacy #EU

hi mastodon 👋 #introduction i write backend code for a living and bolt scrap together for fun. the scrap is Scrapfit: a roguelike deckbuilder with no deck. your skills are blocks on a grid, and what they touch makes them stronger. turn-based fights against scrapyard robots made in #Godot, from the netherlands. playtest builds are free in your browser: https://straydreamarts.itch.io/scrapfit-dev here for gamedev chat, other people's weird roguelikes, and probably too many before/after clips #IndieDev #Roguelike

Hi, I’m Rick. I built Cadre Contacts because I couldn’t find a contacts cleanup app I trusted. It finds duplicates and messy details on your device, and nothing changes until you approve it. Free on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. https://hicadre.com #Introduction #iOS #macOS #IndieDev

Hello everyone, I think it's time for an #introduction. I'm Tristan, and I work in social media by day in Quebec, #Canada. In my free time, I love learning about health, online #privacy and #AI. 😀 I'm also passionate about #photography and cinema. I started an #IndieDev studio, Calm Tech Notebook, where AI writes the code; I steer the process carefully. These are ideas I've had for years but couldn't bring to life until now. Here to share the journey and meet curious minds!

I made GetSpace, a small desktop app for Mac and Windows: you swipe through a folder one file at a time (left delete, right keep). Everything goes to the Trash after a summary, nothing leaves your computer. Free to try. https://getspace.site/?ref=mastodon #macapps #indiedev #introduction
