I think that as an indie game dev without a large publisher, your target audience is not gamers in general, it is sickos.
It's hardcore sickos that will be diving the depths of your genre and finding your game, and it is sickos who will be spreading it.
Please the passionate, not the masses.
This is a good time to remind you to:
- Support game devs and artists through Patreon/Ko-fi/etc (even a dollar a month adds up!)
- Share and boost posts by artists and game devs you like
- Download and back up files for anything you buy, anywhere
- Walk into the ocean at dawn. Do not look back.
Religious zealots masquerading as feminists mixed with the worldwide monopoly on processing payments means you, creators, will get fucked.
This was a bad move for Valve, and this is just an awful move for itch, which has even less content moderation capacity. You will be rejected if questionable.
Contraband Police did something similar to what you're describing store.steampowered.com/app/756800/C...
had to discover this weird UX decision a couple days ago myself as well

goofing around with photo texturing in Blender and rhubarb lip-sync :D #gamedev #indiegame #godot
So uh, is anyone looking to hire a developer with an uncomfortable amount of knowledge about #atproto and #activitypub, experience building from scratch and running a social network (@ludumdare.com), hacking on GPU drivers/network protocols/the Linux kernel, plus a couple decades as a pro gamedev? 🤷
lacto-fermented (so, also salted) peaches are awesome! won't work the same way with banana because of the texture, but now I'm thinking about lacto-fermented banana sauce
I'm delighted to hear that! maybe it will evolve into a proper game, and you will be able to use it to calm down more often :D
thank you! 🙏
playing around with orthogonal projection and pixelization shaders — so far, it looks awesome! #indiegame #gamedev #godot
hmm, makes sense! I think I'll submit two of my pop-punk side project tracks then :)
I have a couple of tracks that could work for a music video, but they were recorded "live"-ish from Pocket Operators, so there's no separate stems available...
Judging by your previous experience with the students, is it worth it to use a single premixed track?
Anyone interested in "interactive music video" game jam? #gamejam
Man explaining to cat while dangling a mouse toy in a string: “In know it’s your favourite toy but there’s no REPLAYABILITY. Where are the rouge like elements tat ensure easy play through is different from the last?”
Don’t think I’ve ever been so specifically and exactly called out 👀
It's all fun and games until it has to be fun and a game
oooh, I need to try it out!
Looking at how exactly inexperienced people struggle with concepts/mechanics new to them could also be beneficial to framing the tutorial/UI/hints in a better way. But in this case you obviously should conduct a proper playtest live/online, not just send a build and say "give me your feedback".
#igclinicjam25 is over, you could check out our little game 🥰
The theme was "you're not the main character".
We ended up doing a little arcade arena where you buy potions to beat the shiny knight in a mob killing spree.
