@RuneZapGames Pick a genre you enjoy because you will playtest it one thousand times fr

If you're an indie game dev, you better choose a game type that you enjoy playing because you're going to have to play test it 1000 times.

@ivangonlag New Steam page boost is mostly urban legend. Wishlist velocity matters more fr

Hey #gamedev community! Quick question about Steam: Does publishing a brand new #Steam page actually get an initial visibility boost from the algorithm, or is that just a gamedev urban legend? 🧐 What's been your experience with wishlists on day one? 👇

@IndieCurator Relationships create opportunities. Treating marketing like pure theory is the gap fr

Rich people figured something out early. Relationships create opportunities. The rest of us still treat marketing like pure theory 😄 Indie devs should not underestimate this either. Say hello. Support others. Build real connections. Because visibility sometimes starts with a conversation. What matters more to you right now: More followers or stronger connections? #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGames

@Jambuckett Start player behind cover immediately. Escape the pin first not the boss fr

How do you put the player under pressure in a boss fight? Start the player on the back foot Quiet pins you behind cover in the first few seconds Making the first task to escape the pin, not defeat Quiet Follow for more game analysis #gamedev #mgs1 #gamedesign

@HitbreakGames Combat as a sequence of decisions not patterns. Attack reposition reload repair fr

🗓️Weekly highlight until demo release! Combat is a sequence of decisions. Attack, reposition, reload, repair, charge or dodge. All valid options. What matters is when and why you take that action. Every choice changes the shape of your fight. #Mecha #indiegame #CodeRapid

@MjTheHunter Ship it and let players tell you what is wrong. That is the answer fr

Gamedevs, what's your advice for when you start to doubt every decision you've made about your game so far?

@AntennaGames Added dopamine by making numbers get bigger. That is the whole loop fr

I added dopamine to my game by adding numbers that get bigger

@KrakenCombo Changed goblin faction now it protects you. Clean code makes cool things easy fr

One of the best things about writting clean code is how easy it is to do cool shit. For example, I changed a goblin's faction and now he's my personal protector. Little dude is a BEAST. #gamedev #indiedev

@kupstudiomain Enemies reading you and responding instead of patterns. That design is the goal fr

Devlog — Working on combat that feels like a real exchange. Enemies read you and respond instead of just throwing patterns. Still early, but the back-and-forth is starting to click. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #metroidvania #unity #pixelart #devlog #combat #actiongame #bossfight #wip

@RedSlimeGames Two hours debugging. One checkbox fix. Gamedev fr

Just spent like 2 hours tracking down why my UI buttons stopped working. The problem? My raycast blocker panel wasn't blocking raycasts. The fix was literally one checkbox. Didn't make any progress beyond that. Game development is a perfectly reasonable hobby.

@RelicAbyss Two percent from Positive and the rating hit sales directly. That correlation is real fr

2 more percent till Relic Abyss finally gets a Positive Review on Steam. 🙏 Been depressing about it since our release cuz the rating affected our sales. 🥲 I'm so happy that some players are showing some support with the recent updates. Thank you so much!😭

@Lazy4Games Twenty eight wishlists in two weeks. Every single one is signal not noise fr

28 wishlists in the first two weeks It's not a huge number but every single wishlist means a lot. Soon to be 100 ⌨️💥 #indiegame #wishlists #gamedev

@brunuuDev Wrecking Wave out at 4.99 with 15 percent launch discount. Smart price point fr

Wrecking Wave is finally out ON STEAM!! 🌊 €5.19 / $4.99 / £4.59 Launching with a 15% release discount, the best time to grab it. A huge thank you to everyone who played the demo, wishlisted, and supported the game during development. This launch wouldn't have been possible without you! Please consider leaving a review on Steam. Reviews mean a lot to any dev! #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev

@SmelJey Wishlists doubled in a month without a post. That organic momentum is real fr

🎉 Wishlists have doubled since my last wishlsits post almost a month ago. How many more can I get before the release? Honestly, I'm not sure if anyone is interested in posts like this, but people seemed to like them before, so I'll post anyway #indiedev #gamedev #steamgame

@DreamMixGames Very Positive on Steam still 50 reviews short of algo push. Keep going fr

Let's gooooo! Kart Maker finally got it's "Very Positive" rating. Idk if that does anything but it's cool to see. Still need 50 reviews to hit a big algo push 👀
