@fricodev Which game? Could you share some info?

I'm about to release my first Steam game. It looks messy and incomplete and I'm starting to think it will flop hard. So far: - I'm not sure how to tag the game - I'm not sure how to make a good capsule - I'm not sure how much charge for it #gamedev #indiedev #steam

🤯 This is a website, a simple web-based game built with WebGL and Three.js. Website: messenger.abeto.co It's honestly surprising how far web development has come.

Insanely useful video, thanks @andre_mc

@Weston_Mitchell if your publisher takes 50% he'd better funded the entire game development budget. Otherwise this is just a crappy deal.

Hypothetical for y'all today • sell your game for 14.99 • steam/nintendo/xbx/ps take 30% Oh you have a publisher? • 50% • taxes 24% So you made 3.75 per sale. It's just not sustainable, many have moved to self publishing to retain as much as they can.

@Devon_Aidendale @funnyToasty You should take that to mean whatever the hell you want it to mean. I don't care either way buddy.

@mobxgames @funnyToasty Should we take that to mean that your game is AI slop?

I think a cruel side effect of caring deeply about your indie game is waking up during Steam Next Fest in perpetual stress about something out of your control. If only I could be a chill AI bro pumping out slop nonchalantly to end this stress…

@Chavenham The problem is more with discoverability and offering now. It's like going into a supermarket and seeing 1000 types of apples, 500 types of oranges and 400 types of bananas in front of you to choose from. If you're the one selling you're outta luck.

We need a Steam demo evolution. Hundreds of games to play, nobody wants tutorials before knowing if they like the game. New meta: Fast gameplay showcase, the best you have to offer in a 2-5 mins experience. A demo made to be a demo, not the first boring minutes of the full game.

@deckforge_labs The demo for my first-person horror-action game SAIGAI is currently on #SteamNextFest. A bit of 90s retro-horror vibes mixed in with a weird, fully-voiced story told via the protagonist & others. Check it out and please wishlist if you like: store.steampowered.com/app/3096690/SA…

Hey #indiedev, are you in #SteamNextFest this time? Drop your game below with a short description & Steam link – we’re looking for new titles to check out and maybe feature 👇 #indiegame #gamedev #steamnextfest #Steam #sharemygame

I can’t wait for Steam Next Fest, I need my demos now! Who’s got a demo live? #gamedev #steamnextfest

@BeanJuiceStudio It's not just you 😂

Ever since I started making video games I completely lost the urge to play them. Is this normal or just me?

@thanagorSHS Yeah, unfortunately it doesn't make any sense as a solo dev to try and make a career out of it. If you're young, do it full-time but with no expectations and with a mindset to learn. If you're old, then as a hobby on the side. Use AI and don't be an idiot.

In light of the discourse about 3d artists getting into the industry I asked my mentors if they had advice for young artists wanting to get into the industry. Their advice was "don't" and "the industry is dead dude" they both have 20-30+ exp. One said this is worse than '08

@DonorZero @ChromatikGames More of a vertical slice I'd say. Gives you an impression what it'd be like to play the full game once it's done.

@mobxgames @ChromatikGames Is the demo a vertical slice or a self-contained chapter?

Yes we are going to be here, are you? If you are an #indiedev or a #solodev participating in the #SteamNextFest, let’s see it! I will be playing demos and adding wishlists. ❤️🪽🤝

@TalyPixie My demo for my horror-story game SAIGAI will be on #SteamNextFest soon. Would love everyone's feedback on the teaser trailer I made: store.steampowered.com/app/3096690/SA…

Le #SteamNextFest est toujours un super rendez-vous et l'occasion de découvrir de supers jeux indés. Attisez ma curiosité et partagez ici vos jeux les dev ! 😊 #indiegames #indiedev #dev #devgame

@realkenwillis @ExplodinBeef @GamefolioGG @RumbleRumBot @Lockie_Glizzy @XanticsOfficial @FusedAegis Thanks! Looking forward to what you have to say :)

@mobxgames @ExplodinBeef @GamefolioGG @RumbleRumBot @Lockie_Glizzy @XanticsOfficial @FusedAegis I've actually been playing more sci-fi related demos lately and will be adding this one to my list. Thank you so much for sharing!

If you are an indie developer, please drop your game below! Whether you are participating or not, I plan on making a TON of content for everyone! #indiedev #indiegames #SteamNextFest

@GIGachu1312 It's the make-or-break part, so you better start early! Keep your game optimized as much as possible throughout the process.

Is the optimization a difficult part of game development or am i delusional? #gamedev #indiegamedev

@gamesyouloved Space Quest 1 🚀

What was your first experience of using a Computer? 🖥️

@gamesyouloved I've lived through people making games in C++ getting outraged at people making games with Javascript. Nobody cares. People buy and play games if they're good.

Would you buy a game if it was developed using AI?
