Not Your Typical Dev

Ok... This is my favourite. #dlss5 #gaming #gamedev #indiegamedev

People love live service when it’s exceptional (Fortnite, Apex, OW, Marvel Rivals), but in 2026, “good” isn’t enough anymore. We’ll keep seeing games like this, because they’re profitable, but if every star doesn’t align, they’re dead on arrival. And honestly? That’s the sad part

Hot take(?): This wasn’t “live service slop” It was a solid, well-crafted shooter that failed because it felt familiar, lacked a standout identity, had an awkward TGA reveal, and became a meme before it had a chance #GameDev #LiveService #Highguard ign.com/articles/highg…

The context: Nearly 8,000 games disclosed AI use on Steam in early 2025 (vs ~1,000 in 2024) Yet only 9% of devs remain interested in these tools A growing 27% are actively avoiding AI altogether Overall: a smart move to fight “AI slop” while letting teams use modern tools.

Here’s the key distinction 👇 Exempt: “Efficiency tools” like AI code helpers. Valve doesn’t care how you speed up dev internally, only what players actually see. Mandatory disclosure: AI-generated in-game content (art, audio, text) AI-generated marketing assets

Looks like @valvesoftware is drawing a clear line between AI as a helper vs AI as a creator 👀 ✅Exempt: Efficiency tools (code helpers) ⚠️Mandatory disclosure: AI-generated art, audio, text, marketing, or live AI in gameplay. #GameDev #Steam #GenerativeAI #AIinGames #IndieDev

🛍️ Store-wide improvements: - Wider search results & bundle pages - Unified layout for charts, news, and tag hubs - Fully responsive design for smaller screens (even Steam Deck!) A cleaner, more cinematic Steam experience 🤘

🎥 Game pages overhaul: - New trailer & screenshot carousel (default, theater, fullscreen modes) - Higher-res images and smoother playback - More visual “About the Game” sections with rich formatting - Refined backgrounds that better show off your game’s art #indiedev

Typical #indiedev 👾 When you launch your own #indiegame, you’re not just a #gamedev. You suddenly become: 🎨 3D Artist 🎬 Animator 💻 Programmer 📢 PR & Marketing 📊 Accountant ✅ QA Tester …and sometimes even your own CEO. This is a reality I know from experience. 🫠
