@hesselbom Felt like they are questioning our skills, "is this your trade? Are you a professional?" 🥲

Are you selling apps on App Store and unsure if you qualify as a "trader" or "non-trader" in terms of the EU Digital Services Act? You're most likely a trader. A non-trader is someone doing it as a hobby, 100% free, and no commercial interest at all.

Our retro homage Star Duster being listed at the top of IGNs list of best Apple Watch Games by @RudieObias makes us pinch ourselves every so often to see if we're dreaming! Thank you for including us 🚀 #lifegoals #ThrowbackThursday #indiedev #AppleWatch nordic.ign.com/apple-watch-2/…

@igdmag Awesome! Good luck on the launch!

The main part of our website launches today, once our team is back in the office! Just look at that layout for the front page (Indie Game goodness!) Developer Central will launch at the weekend (still some things to work out). Look out for us going live in the next few hours.

@WesleyTE Thank you! Should perhaps do a little devlog on how it works some time.

@beardybird That’s relatively easy to do with the test automation tools in iOS SDK, Android, Flutter, etc, but I haven’t seen tools like that in any of the game engines I’ve used. Nice job!

@WesleyTE Yep, built a few simplish tools to help with screenshotting the correct formats in all locales. Otherwise that would be way too tedious for us.

@beardybird Ahh yeah, localization would make it a much bigger pain. Do you have tooling to navigate through the app/game in different languages/devices to the places where you’d need to take those screenshots/videos? That feels like the real heavy lift here.

@WesleyTE It’s more of a problem over time rather than often, when it happens it’s painful for all languages and formats, especially if video is involved as well. So thinking we should include a tool for it in our process.

@beardybird Do your screenshots change often enough that you need to update them with each release?

@raitheoshow fastlane.tools Helps out with managing screenshots and meta data in one place rather than through App Store Connect/Google Play Console

@beardybird What is this Fastlane you speak of?

📣 Feedback wanted 📣 We’re remaking the trailer for Star Jolt, so much has been added since the last one, tell us your honest opinions! #gamedev #IndieGameDev #indiegames

When you capture an enemy agent we have a little reveal “ceremony” here it is how it looks when you capture a dangerous enemy infiltrator. So.much.polish.left, so little time. But hey, it’s getting there(?) #screenshotsaturday #IndieDevs #gamedev

The scope creeps are hiding under the bed, snapping at our ankles, trying to drag us into the abyss of a growing backlog. Why do we conjure these demons, knowing the plague they carry? #gamedev #indiedev #noscope

We have to make a game featuring these sweethearts we found on a walk here in Gothenburg! #pareidolia

Characters are coming along nicely for Spy Masters, here’s one of the opposing sides (in all of our games), aliens! The others being robots of course. But that goes without saying 🤖 Made by Elin as always. #indiegames

@GDBAYcom Nice! Like what you do, let’s. How small indie is meaningful to be? (We’re a two person, side project kind of team :) )

@beardybird Hello there. We are GDBAY — an online matchmaking platform, network and pitching show for game developers. If you want to forge valuable connections in the game dev community, or find publisher | investor for your project, let's connect.

Beardybird (tweets by Erik) @beardybird It’s #screenshotsaturday! As promised, here’s the femaleish version of the robot character for Spy Masters. Feels so good to be getting ever closer to a beta. ”Just” need to do the work 🥲 #gamedev #indiedev

@llstdcom Awesome!

@mrhesselbom Getting there! Aiming for beta ready version next week, you’re in ofc ❤️

@beardybird So looking forward to this game!

Went for a run today, saw a raven sitting on a bunker in a snowy heath, overlooking the chilled archipelago of Gothenburg, engulfed in a burning sunset. No wind, no other people, just the croak of a raven. Reality is pretty lit.

@mrhesselbom Just tested it out here! In context it became a bit too dark though. Perhaps a bit more on the nose though

@beardybird Yes! But also could be even more black dust imo.

Does this little alien from Spy Masters look like they had bomb explode in front of them? #gamedev #indiegames #followfriday
