@VoicelessName It’s so hard to explain to my friends that it’s actual *work*, even if I enjoy it… It can actually cause mental strain, you guys 😭

One of the big challenges with being a solo/hobbyist developer is that you have to make all of the small decisions that go into designing a game, all by yourself.

They said they didn't believe in me. They said I couldn't do it. Well. I guess I showed them 😎

One HUGE MISTAKE that devs make: They launch ONE game and quit. The real magic happens in game two and beyond! Experience is truly the closest thing there is to a secret in this industry, the more games you make the better you become, so don't stop after game one! Making game number two will be easier because you will have more knoweldge and more skills which in turn increases your odds of making something that finds success. It's another reason why I love the advice of "make small games" because if you make them small you can make them fast which means in a relatively short amount of time you gain a ton of experience by launching multiple games. So do NOT make this mistake! Make your first game, then make your second, third, etc. Best of luck!

the Steam Personal Calendar is for real!

Jo@jogamedev

Here's the logic behind this and why it's probably not a bad thing for Indies: Steam's motive is to match players with games they'd like to play / buy - including indie games. Under the old system if your game had enough wishlists, it'd get on the Popular Upcoming list for a few days which would show it to a TON of people but many of those people wouldn't even play that kind of game. Now Steam is adding the Personal Calendar with more visibility than the Popular Upcoming list. And the Personal Calendar is algorithmic so it shows your game to relevant players who might be interested. Also games stay on the Personal Calendar for longer. As far as I can tell this is a huge win for indies. It doesn't matter that the new Popular Upcoming list is going to be all huge titles, the Personal Calendar is the part of this most people are missing.

@WonderedOff Thank you very much! I didn’t think it would be a quick thing to do, but certainly didn’t know it was *that* time consuming 😅 Thanks for the heads up!

@CHGLGames Almost 2 weeks for the trailer alone. And then multiple days for all the rest. There are a lot of capsules in widely different sizes required. And writing a good description also takes time.

As with everything that I encountered so far as a new solo game dev: setting up a steam page takes WAY longer than I anticipated😅

@KenneyNL I’ve barely posted anything partly because of that fear, but also because I don’t feel it’s ready to be shared until it’s perfect…

I've noticed that I've become a bit hesitant to show the games & tools I'm working on. I'm often afraid that they will be stolen (especially because of AI), or that a cheap copy will appear before I've been able to finish them. Does anyone else share this feeling?

@DJ_Jesshirecat By the way, I commented over on YouTube and it appears that one might have been hidden as well 😅 I tried to reach out here, however I don’t believe you have private messages available, but I’ve still got that game key ready! 😋
