Hi, I coded a game about a world where mankind is but a myth!!

Primordia is a cyberpunk adventure set in a future where man is but a myth! STEAM: store.steampowered.com/app/227000/Pri… GOG: gog.com/en/game/primor… SWITCH: nintendo.com/us/store/produ… IOS: apps.apple.com/us/app/primord…

"Hey, Tyro, over here!"

Strangeland just exited a big sale on @GOGcom , thanks to everyone who picked up the game, and we hope you enjoy it very much!!

@jasperbyrne You can do it!!!

my game has been in development longer than duke nukem forever i still believe in it

i couldn't be prouder (or more terrified) to finally be able to share this with you all so here it is BEYOND THE PLASTIC WALL - REVEAL TRAILER if you're really cool you can wishlist the game here: store.steampowered.com/app/2418040/Be…

how do ppl keep making games and not have existential crisis over creative decisions and the burden of expectations from those who have supported ur previous work its kinda mad

@headwaregames It helps not having made Hollowbody and needing to follow up such a great game. No, but seriously, I get it. You need not to think over it. Easier said than done. Even if your next game is vastly different, I know it will share many great things I liked about HB, you got this!

From sketch to finished scene #DunwichHorror

@TheNetiYeti what a concept! Oh yeah, did u know I don't watch soccer since 2012 or so, no? oh that sucks that's my personality!

@Dualnames I dislike most sports games and military shooters.. I just.. don't play/post about them?

Does narcissism include you making a post showing a wrong rating or?

@TheNetiYeti Like dude I hate dark souls 2 and Zelda 2 and I have not made a single post about them because things and people I dislike are a waste of energy to speak about

@Dualnames I played it, going into it with realistic expectations, and I felt like it was 3.5h well spent.. some people need to get a life and focus on stuff that actually brings them joy also, didn't we already go through "x is a walking sim" discourse like 10+ years ago? sheesh

@TheNetiYeti Yeah I don't know. It's all dumb. 90 percent haven't even played the game

@Dualnames like.. ngl, out of all the games, I didn't foresee so many people having hot takes about this one

@georgebsocial If the game is good, it'll garner the attention and the sales it deserves for the most part, provided there is some marketing and people know about it. But a bad game just won't work, imho.

@Dualnames Yeah it's hard to tell without a link to a game. But you're right. Short of politics if you get trashed it's mostly down to game quality and it's hard to blame reviewers there. It's a hard world. Nobody owes you a niche launch.

Being a game dev is funny. Effort doesn't mean result. Repeat with me, the end user doesn't give a flying dutchman fuck if you spent 10 years. They buy a game and expect to play it and it not to crash and it to be whatever expectations you planted in them with your marketing.

@georgebsocial I also realized i answered in the exact same way you answered to me. Review bombing when it happens usually has little to do with the game, especially if coalesced outside steam [which is usually the case], and is mega lame.

Review bombing can certainly happen if your game is bad or of low quality or just displeases your audience but I don't think most consider that 'review bombing'. Just reviews. Review bombing happens via the left and the right who dogpile a game's reviews for whatever ideological reasons. And that's really lame.

@ConradRoset Not having played What Remains of Edith Finch is a crime, an absolute masterpiece, and the punishment should be to play it.

Aprovecho toda esta polémica con Mixtape para recomendar 4 juegazos muy narrativos, propuestas sin gameplay de desafío, pero con un valor artístico muy alto.

This is Primordia, a post-apocalyptic adventure! Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/227000/Pri… GOG: gog.com/en/game/primor…

So says she.
