Backwater releases on Kindle, Paperback and Hardcover on May 1st. I started writing Backwater about ten years ago and finally came around to finishing it. Preorder now a.co/d/0aNdcWyZ #writing #WritersofX

For Drink, I used gen AI for coding. I like writing, I like games - I don't know how to code. Truth is, it would never exist without it. The reddit indie game community is fiercely against this and I get down voted immediately and harshly. Thoughts? #genai #indiegames #gamedev

@CollinHarsin With Drink in Godot I literally just added the key bindings for controller in the project settings. Godot has them inbuilt so it was super easy.

Hey devs, How hard is it to implement controller support for your game? All these demos I want to try and I’ve never played M/K in my life 😅

Yeah boi! 100 wishlists on Drink 🍻🍷🍸🍺 #proud #indiegame #indiedev

Bug Maze TD is out now on itch.io 🐞🌻 A mobile-first portrait tower defence game where you build mazes, place bug-themed towers, and defend the garden across four handcrafted levels. Play free here: samfa12.itch.io/bug-maze-td #indiegame #TowerDefense #itchio

Drink is 25% off on Steam. A short, top-down indie about alcohol dependence, denial, and the moment blame finally runs out. If that sounds like your kind of narrative game, now’s the time: store.steampowered.com/app/4419290/Dr… #indiegame #indiedev #Steam

@thomasbrushdev Some people are super sensative to this so I think giving the player the option is a good call.

Twisted Tower is running at a 40fps consistently for Steam deck. Is this good enough? (It runs at 60 MOST of the time, but dips down to 40 a lot too. If I cap at 40 it's consistent)

@infernitz Yeah I guess if you need it to be commercially successful because it's your job and you have wages or bills to pay. I just make what I think is fun and interesting because it's a hobby.

I've struggled to find my game's audience maybe because it's experimental, not a genre that's "hot" on Steam. Should indie devs think more about the genre perhaps?

@BeanJuiceStudio I had a story idea I just couldn't shake

Question of the day for all game devs... Why did you start making games?

@GamewithDave Battlefield 1942

For anyone who used a computer between 1990 & 2005… what’s the one game you still think about?

@IndieWithMatheo 30 minute story about a dude who hasn't come to terms with his alcoholism? store.steampowered.com/app/4419290/Dr…

Most indie games don’t fail because they’re bad… They fail because no one sees them. Let’s change that 👇 Drop your game (Steam, demo, Android, PC) I’m looking for hidden gems. #IndieDev #HiddenGems

@IndieWithMatheo I'm at 98 wishlists! store.steampowered.com/app/4419290/Dr…

It’s #WishListWednesday 👀 If you’re an #indiedev, drop your #indiegame below 🚀

@EnderRaccoonVT Yeah I'd actually love that. Would you be interested in a key to cover my little game, Drink? store.steampowered.com/app/4419290/Dr…

#indiedevs , I’ve got a question for you! I’m a small content creator, but I’ve been noticing a decent amount of success with my ‘weekly upcoming’ or ‘My favorite …. games’ style videos. The first impressions videos haven’t been seeing a lot of engagement. If you provide a key to a content creator, would you feel alright with that creator posting a 5 minute review video? What about a video where my gameplay thoughts were shared along with a few other indie games in the same genre? In my experience, those videos do well, but how are they for converting to wishlists, and how do they feel as a dev?

I've made a music creation app that works on mobile. samfa12.itch.io/pocket-chordsm… Make a song and share it! #music #indiedev

Wife review of my book, Sober, "I love the characters and the story. I love that the ending is real. There's too much descriptive writing and the juicy bits near the end needed more time for the reader to be in it." This is the best feedback I've ever gotten. #SoberNovel #Write

@brockpierson Never!

Do you trust people who have a cartoon or no profile pic as their profile picture?

@AuthorGoodwin Just a hobby 😊

Do you hope to make a living out of your writing some day? Or is it just a hobby? #writingcommunity
