@CosmicRicky @ExtraCreditz All of the above probably. Would start from easiest to hardest. Nothing beats actual feedback from players playing your game though. So while that's harder to get, it's also the most valuable

@WhiteLionBear Yeah AI is really good at taking in a bunch of data, and making something quantifiable from generic terms like "SIMILAR". We're still experimenting with how much AI is involved and where, but its been pretty great at most things we've thrown at it.

@TimRuswick So does this use AI as a foundation? If so it's actually a great use-case for AI, love to see it I can't get behind the AI art thing but this is the type of function this tech was truly made for

Been working on a new tool to auto-magically find publishers for your #indiegame with a friend of mine. Would love some feedback from the #gamedev community if anyone is up for it! link -> publishers.pixelpop.ai

@WhiteLionBear Leo! Long time no talk man. Yeah dude would love if you gave it a try. Glad to see pongslaught is still breathing though!

@TimRuswick Cool, so this is what you've been working on. My game (Pongslaught) was put on pause for a few years, only picked up development again recently. Once I remake a better demo I'll put it on steam but for now there's no page for it and can't try your tool here. Bookmarked though

@HenryHoffman @HenryHoffman Can you link the steam page? We will check it out.

@TimRuswick Hmm still doesn’t come up for me

@EdFarage @mattthousand Thanks dude! Appreciate it!

@TimRuswick @mattthousand This is very nice Tim, already giving it a try

Working on PixelPop Publishers with @mattthousand, a really cool #gamedev AI tool that auto-magically finds relevant Steam publishers for your #indiegame. If you've got a Steam game page live, try it out for free! Would love some feedback. Link -> publishers.pixelpop.ai/search

@Gaidline Jfyi, we just released a free version! Appreciate the feedback -> publishers.pixelpop.ai/search

@TimRuswick First search takes me right to the Purchase button but I don't even know if this data will be useful to me. You should launch a free version of it to let people check it out.

@DarkLordGameDev Hey dude, JFYI, this was a bug and we've fixed it in the latest version. Your game should show now! -> publishers.pixelpop.ai/search

@TimRuswick My game is not found on the list... is it only for published game?

@chriswulf_ Hey, jFYI we removed the paywall, and made all the main data free if you want to try it again -> publishers.pixelpop.ai/search Appreciate the feedback!

@TimRuswick Hard to provide feedback with the results being behind a paywall. I like the concept!

@HenryHoffman Hey dude, jfyi we fixed this in the latest build -> publishers.pixelpop.ai/search

@TimRuswick Also like the idea, but my game Paper Trail wasn’t found

How your epic solo game project is going, fellow #Solodev? 😂 #Indiegame #GameDevelopment #Indieheart #Indiedev

Which social site is your favorite?

@erdbeerscherge @misslyss47 @SPIEL_Messe Ahh I would love to do something like that dude. But being completely transparent, the game cost us more to make and ship than we actually raised. So being in the hole plus the fact that you need more money to print more copies, made me just sort of move on to other projects.

@erdbeerscherge @misslyss47 Thank you so much for backing it!! Really cool to see it in the wild, and especially cool to see our murderous fluffballs in far away places like Germany. Hope you guys enjoy the game!!!

@ChaosMindsGames Hope you have fun with it dude!

Just got this in the mail, can't wait to try it with some friends.🤯 If you missed @TimRuswick murder bunnies you can still wishlist battle barn: tactics on steam! (It will have bunnies too🥳) store.steampowered.com/app/1305780/Ba…

@retro_rusty @GameDevTV Hey! Great question. So - Only stuff that's publicly available for free is allowed. It's not just that you got it for free, it's that everybody could get it for free if they wanted. Evens the playing field a bit.

@TimRuswick Question about the upcoming @GameDevTV game jam — if we get a music artist’s permission to use their music that is normally used commercially for free and can prove that in our submission — are we allowed to do that or does that violate the free content only rule?

In another episode of "Today's Front Page of Reddit" - I give you this. Damn those lazy devs.

@retro_rusty @GameDevTV Yes! We're going to round up some themes we think will make for a fun event, but I'll make sure the community is involved!

@GameDevTV Will there be a vote on the theme beforehand like last time?

Super excited to announce that registration for the GameDev.tv Game Jam 2023 is now live! 🎉 AND this year, everyone who submits a game gets a free course of their choice!! 🥳 Join now👉 itch.io/jam/gamedevtv-… #gamedev #gamejam #indiedev #gdtvjam #indiegamedev
