Please help this post reach as many eyes as possible! Dusklander has finally been announced and it could use all the visibility it can get. If you're into survival games, wishlist it on Steam :) store.steampowered.com/app/4386890/Du… #indiedev #gamedev #survivalgame #announcement #goth

@Dohsk_ I'm making an isometric survival game solo. In this game you play as a goth girl trapped in a nightmare world. x.com/i/status/20570…

It’s #FollowFriday! If you’re an indie studio or solo dev, share your game below 🎮 I’ll be following and supporting as many indie projects as I can today. Show me what you’re working on! #indiedev #gamedev

@DemonKingSwarn That's great ^^ it might seem pretty obvious that we're gamers too... but I've actually met far too many devs who don't play enough games.

@BitrunnerDev Dev, and i also play games when i am not working

This place is known to be a space where game developers interact mostly with other developers. I'd like to test this theory with a little "Reach Test". Please comment if you're either a Gamer or a Developer (If you're both, please reply "Dev" ;) ) #indiedev #gamedev #solodev

@ExplodinBeef Thank you:) Happy to hear that!

@BitrunnerDev I'm not huge on survival crafting... However that crafting system doesn't look as painful as most. Id probably run this one. The pixel art thing is cool when done right yours looks right

@ExplodinBeef Any red flags based on my trailer?

@BitrunnerDev I'm no dev but I'll sure tell you which parts of your game annoy the fuck outta me. Gamer.

@CSH_Picone Sweet! Any particular genre or niche you're interested in? Would my game be something you'd like to play once it has a demo?

@BitrunnerDev Gamer & reviewer =)

@josiahcolborn I appreciate it! Followed:)

@BitrunnerDev Dev! I will take engagement bait for fellow small accounts.🪱

@KainYusanagi Great to hear that:)

@BitrunnerDev Gamer!

@pator_x Awesome:)

@BitrunnerDev Gamer.

@MaJa2883 Sounds cool! What kind of tools?

@BitrunnerDev Gamer here, building a tool for game devs!

@FortKenmei Nice to meet you!

@BitrunnerDev Gamer. And YouTuber reviewing indie games.

@VideoGamersPod This still counts as gamers ^^ Honestly it's already a little encouraging to see that this was able to reach eyes of someone who's not dev. I was worried I'm in a developer echo chamber ;)

@BitrunnerDev Gamers, but we know a lot of devs too!

@BeanJuiceStudio On meta level games are about figuring out a pattern and solving it. Therefore IMO a replayable game must offer you a new pattern to solve every time you play. Your prior experience with the game is what makes you more proficient at solving that pattern. Let that sink in^^

Game dev question of the day What makes a game replayable?

I'll start: "Dev" ^^

@JuiceboxPixel This is awesome! I know this part wasn't meant to attract most attention probably but the way her abdomen moves under the semi-transparent mesh is insane! I'm a big fan of your style ;)

このお菓子のバウンドも、しかと見てくれ🫣

@Outsider_Pixel In my day job I'm working on Soulframe while occasionally doing some stuff for Warframe too ;) In spare time I'm creating an isometric survival called Dusklander.

@BitrunnerDev That's so cool man what are you working on now?

Wow I didn't even notice that we've reached over 990 followers! Help me get to 1000+ if you like what I do and I also showcase many other #indiegamedev working on their amazing #indiegame projects!

@VideoGamersPod In case it's still ok to jump in: I'm making a survival game about a goth girl in a nightmare world. In this dark world, Light is the most important survival resource. x.com/BitrunnerDev/s…

Just wanted to follow up on this. Awesome response from all you incredible #indiedevs! We're compiling a list of some of the standouts to us and recording next week's episode on those!

@Outsider_Pixel That's right! I worked a little bit on Dying Light 1 and then Dying Light 2 from start to the finish line :) I was a system/engine programmer responsible mostly for the world building ;)

@BitrunnerDev Followed back! Also you worked on Dying Light? That's so cool!!!
