My solo indie game Tabletop Tavern has sold 100,000 copies in its first two weeks! 🎉 Been a little preoccupied with bug fixes and balance patches but wanted to take a moment to thank all the people who have supported me over the years. I could not have reached this milestone without @unitygames for their engine and support, especially that of @Raggune The entire @SyntyStudios team for their models and their direct support of me for the past 5ish years @AdventureMtn for the most accurate indie dev marketing advice @JonasTyroller for his videos and podcasts on game dev, truly the best content out there. @UnityCodeMonkey @SebastianLague @TurboMakesGames and @dani485b for their educational game dev content @IndiegameJordan for all his hard work marketing @GamirrorGames for Chinese Localization and QA @allcorrect for Spanish, French, Russian and German Localization @AlexRak02 @usmandevYT @InsomiSnorlax @the_real_aia for being supported game dev bros @noclipvideo @dannyodwyer @DustinCanFly @thomasbrushdev @ThomasStewartW @idlethumbs for providing insightful and entertaining game-dev/video-game content @ChrisWillx @AlexHormozi For providing inspiring and life changing advice Eren and Nathan for giving me opportunities to be a professional unity developer And last but most importantly my beautiful wife for believing in me and putting up with all the weekends and long nights I spent in front of a screen. 100,000 is just the start. Immensely proud of the community around this game and I look forward to continuing development on it! Thanks again, TJ

@Julia_CaSsian This is so beautiful 😍

Here's some intense fishing action in Spirit Crossing, a new cozy MMO in open beta on Steam. Today there was a Grand Fishing Tournament and many people participated. I'm having a blast in this game

@pr_pirate I'm currently living through this myself with the launch of Tabletop Tavern😑

losing faith in humanity again as I weed out the very few legit key requests out of hundreds of scam emails. Also just reported about 10 Twitch scammers that all had the exact same videos & "about" template on their profile to KeyMailer :D I'm getting very close to just sending codes to people already on my list and ignoring all other new requests. sigh.

Absolutely no one asked for an article on how tavern themed games perform on Steam, but I was curious so I did a deep dive.🍻 Follow the link in my bio for the full newsletter article with some interesting data and case studies.

@IndieGameJoe Amen 🙏

To every indie dev scared to post. Your game doesn’t need to look perfect! - Post the weird shit - The raw clips - A janky prototype - Just be you! You don’t need to market your game like it’s AAA. You’re indie, use that as your strength! ❤️

@lazyflockstudio 🙃

‼️THIS IS NOT A HAUNTED PAWS GAME. IT IS A DIRECT COPY. This is an unauthorized copy that steals our concept, visuals, and story, using AI-generated assets, releasing on the PlayStation Store.

@TheMirzaBeig This is incredible!

@pr_pirate Seeing this right after publishing my most recent newsletter article on this exact topic and how even Balatro needed Marketing!

@TJGameDev Many RTS games do much the same thing, but with terrain! Hills, river crossings, or forests become points of interests because of the way it effects units. Keep up the great work, keeping a close eye on this one!

Adding points of interest that give bonuses to you or the enemy. This will make individual battles feel a little more unique and give the player more to think about when positioning their troops, but idk if it's too game-y. What do you think? #unity3d

@stonelabstudio This is looking so good!

It isn’t a proper rpg without slimes

@SteinMakesGames God tier marketing 🤣

Well, it has potential

@13z_game Played the playtest and absolutely loved it!

Play my game if you love action adventure games 👇

@MaliceDaFirenze Loving this trend of more and more games releasing without combat!

We're making a game where you play a courier rider in 13th century Mongolia No combat, just you, the horse(s) you've tamed, bred and trained and the vast wilderness. Would you play this?

Last weekend, I stepped out of my comfort zone and joined a local game jam. As someone usually in marketing, I gained a new respect for game dev. It's tough. The real magic in games? The devs - absolute wizards. Mad respect to anyone who finishes a game. #gamedev #indiegames
