@sylver_dev This is definitely bad news

So apparently Steam is testing a new Beta UI that changes how Popular Upcoming work. The current Popular Upcoming is sorted chronologically. However the new one seems to show games with massive wishlist which screws us small devs with limited budgets! Are we cooked guys?

@chrisyabsleydev Your style is absolutely fantastic

Blockout to final product. I now have a discord btw. Link below.

@GreyAlien So glad to hear that, congrats!

We launched our game yesterday and it’s going very well!

@alexawhereami Such a fun idea!

i hope one day i can have a screen filled with desktop games 🤤

@rotub Auch too real

"Give his game 7 wishlists. Perfect.... Now take 13 wishlists away."

@itsmcqueeb I would absolutely love a stuck in time 2

Another Gnorplike? God damn we are spoiled! Also, any dev who wants to make Stuck in Time 2, this is your motivation post.

My wacky incremental game Idle Gumball Machine is out now, and it's 30% off! store.steampowered.com/app/3724490/Id…

@GearAntique Congrats on releasing it, it's such a fun game too!

My last two games flopped, and I was down to my last dollar. But I didn't quit. Today, I’m finally hitting 'Release' on my 3rd commercial game, Idle Gumball Machine. It’s chaotic, it’s satisfying, and it’s finally live. Retweet to help a solo dev out? 🥺👇(link in comment)

@ConRayArt I recently learned about Soup and soup like games on itch

Anyone got any reccomendations for artsy indie games? I'm not talkin like The Witness, Gone Home, What Remains of Edith Finch, or stuff like that I'm talkin weird stuff playing with the medium like Horse Racing Tests, Garn47, Oikospiel type games

@Zoroarts You don't stop do you? That's amazing

New Game is actually in development right now since Cool Story Bro is ready to be shipped but I have to wait 2 weeks until I can release the Game 😅😂 More smaller games with fun gameplay mechanics are planned for the next months :)

@CodeRed_dev And that's fine. For me I enjoy those with unfolding mechanics and yes, visible progress

I don't get the appeal of incremental games.

@rotub @DoggyDontCare Oh that sucks I've been rejected as well 😔 to be fair I really need to put that demo out

3rd time unlucky! I cannot think of a more cozy and family-friendly game than Doggy Don't Care right now but that's probably because I think about it 24/7. 😅 Excited to see what games got accepted this round though ☺️ #indiegames #steam

@TX1931425542673 So beautiful and relaxing

Autumn! #indiegame #indiedev

@Lockie_Glizzy I'm working on a demo for my cozy idle game about a cat studying in a magic library, in my opinion not a theme explored enough that of books and libraries! x.com/i/status/19709…

I spend a lot of time looking for indie games worth getting excited about. Sometimes the algorithm helps. Sometimes I get distracted by a news event and the algorithm completely changes my feed. So let’s try something. Glizzy’s next showcase is coming up, and I’m looking for devs building something that doesn’t fit anywhere else. Niche, strange, ambitious, half-finished but full of soul - I want to hear about it. Drop your game below. Tag a dev who deserves eyes on their work. Okay algorithm. Show this to the right people. No pressure…

@Sydnus83 I want to live there now, it's so incredibly good looking and cozy

Little walk in my little indie game village

@Toboinetsu @BangBangClick Right now it's actually the reverse, where once you earn a lot the percentage lowers

@BangBangClick Steam needs a progressive revenue share for new indie devs 10% on the first $250 k, 20% up to $1 M. The AAA + top indie titles should be a flat 30%

20,000 games were released on Steam last year. And Valve just released data that only around 5,000 earned even $100,000. Valve takes 30% of that... And then tax on top of that. It means 75% of the games on Steam lost money EVEN IF they were made by solo devs. Which they weren't.

@Figglewatts I love this already

@Figglewatts You know what, it lasts 3 months, I'll find the time because I'm too intrigued now

@Figglewatts Oh it sounds so fun, I'd love to take part but I'm afraid I'd better focus 😭

People that are interested in LSDJAM might also be interested in SOUPJAM It's an upcoming game jam where you make a specific form of incredibly minimalist walking simulator (think: digital art gallery) Check it out below ⬇️ it starts in April and runs for 3 months!

@rotub Look at you bragging

Checking your wishlists be like that. #gamedev #indiegames #steam
