Check this out! A hypnotizing lil game paying homage to lots of 'falling thingies type' games of the flash era! The demo is available to play now. It's still early which is why we would love to hear feedback and ideas! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #nextfest store.steampowered.com/app/3625530/Fa…

@IndieCurator Price it accordingly to the genre norms and quality. If you think the game is as-good as the genre leader, price it at their price. If better, price it higher. Etc. Pretty straight forward.

Pricing an indie game might be one of the hardest decisions a developer has to make 🎮 You can spend years building something… Then suddenly you have to choose: $4.99? $9.99? $19.99? Too high, and players may hesitate. Too low, and years of work can feel undervalued. So how do you actually decide? Development time? Game length? Market averages? Player expectations? Or the emotional value of what you created? I’d love to hear real pricing stories from indie devs. #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGaming

@nepharyiel @playmygamesnow @IndieGameJoe Its true, ai will not go anywhere. You said it perfectly

Nobody will cares about ai or not in a few years. Ai will not go anywhere and even the avatar dude made it clear he will use ai for the next Avatar movie. He didn't said ai clear, but his wording to look for options to reduce costs it will be clearly ai. Iam atm looking into ai and how it can help me, also played a bit around with comfyui and it's not so easy how people think if u run it local and don't use chatgpt or so.

Game devs, please use real artists for your game’s Steam store capsule art. Thank you.

@BeanJuiceStudio What about zodiac signs?

Something I never see discussed, is how much your personality type matters in game development. Not only in terms of success, but with the games you make as well. Here's my top 5 personality types best for making games: 1. INTP 2. INTJ 3. ENTP 4. ISTJ 5. ISTP

@AdamCYounis Adamcyounis says elden ring is not a game. The concept of exploring, killing, leveling up, finding loot, dying, getting stronger, overcoming bosses, solving puzzles is not a game.

There's no rule saying that the experiences you play on PlayStation or Steam have to be "games". Animal Well and Elden Ring aren't "games" either. If you like Mixtape as an interactive text, then it's succeeding at being what it is.

@NoQuarterSoft Yeah

What constitutes an indie game? Can anyone tell me?

@16bitnights Lol thats not what i meant

@BluePinStudio1 Click on the image and it will enlarge

Steam Algorithm used to have such a solid formula for us indie, but now its getting more and more hostile on indie devs #indiedev #gamedev #indiedevs

@Majoindies If i had to sell my indie to someone?

Devs.. si tuvierais que vender vuestro indie a alguien con solo una imagen de vuestro juego ¿Cual seria?, ponermela por aqui y la vamos viendo! ^^ Vivan los indies.

What does it mean if my 14th game jam entry was one of my worst? Here's the post mortem for the game I made earlier! bluepinstudio.com/blog/2026-05-0… #indiedev #gamedev

@miziziziz rpgmaker

If I were to give a talk at GodotCon what would you want to see me talk about?

@thomasbrushdev Who are you trying to convince? :P

I’m having a BLAST finishing up Twisted Tower. There is NOTHING better than making a game that is straight out of your heart. The game means a lot to me and I love it.

@thomasbrushdev Wow

The reason I won’t make “friend slop” is cuz I don’t want to

@thomasbrushdev I use a game engine that doesnt even allow for that since it doesnt have script files for an llm to write in. Hand crafted babyyyyy

Is anyone NOT using AI at all in their game? Like absolutely NO ai code assistance even? Go!!

@Jackmikeee I cant

@BluePinStudio1 Hey! Can you dm me! I just want to talk you some?

New monthly blog post is up! Featuring the all new, salazar the rock! bluepinstudio.com/blog/2026-05-0… #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

@BeanJuiceStudio A combination of two things. Too many people who see it, don't want it. Too many people who try it, don't recommend it to others.

Game dev question of the day What's the main reason most games fail?

@xowiacain @jogamedev I wouldnt be so sure that "nobody develops a game that they don't think is fun" some people have low self esteem and high dicipline, so they can finish stuff they think sucks

@jogamedev 1. Nobody develops a game they don't think is fun.. 2. If it is a duplicate game there is no motivation to show people around the world.

There are 4 simple questions that determine if your indie game will succeed but they can’t be answered by you: 1. Is it enjoyable? (Obviously) 2. Does it offer something that hasn’t been done better by another game? 3. Does it look good enough to try? 4. Have people heard of it? The answers to these questions tell you what actions you need to take to increase your odds of success

@jogamedev Awesome!

My Steam Capsule Composer tool now supports image scaling options in case you're working with pixel art.

@jogamedev Ayo any chance to get nearest neighbor scaling for the assets as an option

Setting up a Steam page feels like it takes way longer than it should, so I made a little tool to quickly compose and arrange all the Steam Capsules that you need to launch your storepage. All you have to do is drag in your base assets and then you can rearrange and scale them for each capsule. What used to take me an hour now takes 5 minutes. I'm making this tool available for anyone who wants it.

@jogamedev Very nice!
