@gdocexpo.com"The sad, the weird, the awkward parts of sex and physical intimacy" - that's what the team wanted "coalescent || tidal rapture" to explore, instead of another game selling you a tidy romance fantasy. @sharpiepls.com is digging in with great questions!🌊
@gdocexpo.comA middle schooler played Getting Over It and burst into tears.
@gensuta.itch.io's response? Not "toughen up," but go get water, take a walk, breathe, then try again when ready.
Geneva discusses teaching kids game design without burning out their joy (or yours).
@gdocexpo.comThey pitched the classic damsel-in-distress story to a room of 9-to-11-year-olds.
The kids pushed back immediately.. "Why does the hero have to save the fairy queen?"
Nathan & @rayhsiao.dev built Quest For Dendoro by actually listening to that critique (and a lot more).
@gdocexpo.comKids get treated like NPCs, programmed to act a certain way, told not to deviate from the script.
@bloomzeye.bsky.social pushed back with a month-long game jam with their younger sibling, swapping AI shortcuts for real collaboration (and an excellent cat cafe mobile game!)
@502studios.bsky.social@gdocexpo.com Direct is today!
Please check it out and support the amazing devs and community!
We have a little surprise in there too...

@sharpiepls.comyour girl always gonna be chatting with some indie fgc devs 💕
loveeeed talking to @sonstudios-dev.com for #gdocexpo2026!
@gdocexpo.comOur host @sharpiepls.com sat down with @sonstudios-dev.com to discuss Saturday AM: Battle Manga!
Rather than balance, Jesse highlights "harmony," with the team focusing on making sure characters were all enjoyable to play as, and none extremely frustrating to fight against.
@gdocexpo.comYou know what's worse than having to say no to a bad gig?
It's having to say no to your dream gig because you're too burnt out or sick from taking on too much.
@nehapolitan.bsky.social explored the long term repercussions of exploitive contracts & the art of saying NO!
@gdocexpo.comInstead of asking "Is this done?" try "What do you need in order to do this well?"
Namkha explored & demonstrated how to build a studio like a community through reciprocal obligation, collaborative decision-making, and compassionate leadership!
@kiimby.bsky.socialNeha's talk about freelancing in #GDoCExpo2026 is something i needed to hear
@gdocexpo.comJoe Duçens discusses decoloniality and how traditional cultures can be represented in gaming.
He shares the difference between fidelity and abstraction and explores validated strategies for representing cultures while avoiding cultural appropriation.
@gdocexpo.comTanya explores an intersection of cozy production, professional care, accessibility, and shared responsibility.
Journaling away from a screen can help with self actualization and seeing the bigger picture. Bookmark some of these prompts to try them for yourself!
@gdocexpo.comGreat takeaways to carry with you! #gamedev #GDoCExpo2026
@gdocexpo.com"If there's anything you've ever wanted to do but you couldn't because it was too weird, I want that!"
Chris & Nadia discuss the formation of Ghoul School, Skinscribing's influences, and the reality of starting a game studio in an era of downturns in the games industry.
