So my last article of the year was a bit of a fun one. Far less effort than usual (which is a win to me!).

I asked a lot of developer and creator friends to share their experiences with 2025, and what they expect from 2026. The same three questions to each of them.

If you’re interested in reading what everyone said, then this might be a fun one for you. There’s a few deep dives into dev work, which is always fun to read.

From RetroDECK, Heroic Games Launcher, Mr Sujano and GammaOS to Junk Store, RomM, and just oh-so-more. I hope you enjoy this one.

And I hope the start to 2026 has been a good one for all of you here!
