@DeTomPlays @dyrkabes More recently, the rougelike genre has come to mean any game that has perma-death, encouraging the player to make multiple runs as they learn the game systems, and procedurally-generated or randomised levels. Rougelite is a subgenre features some degree of carry-over future runs

@dyrkabes I still don't fully understand the term roguelike, it seems to be getting used for so many different types of games at the moment. But hey, if someone added your game to their roguelike collection, just go with it, the more hype the better, even if it is a little confusing.

One player on itch added Incremental RTS to their roguelikes collection I was first super confused. Why would it be a roguelike? Till I realized that the game has some components of rogue light.. very very LIGHT :D like starting over, building factories anew It is nothing like roguelikes as I see them but maybe I was not promoting the game to another possible audience?

@DeTomPlays @dyrkabes Well, it's based on the original game Rouge, which was a text-based dungeon crawler from the 80s, with procedurally generated dungeons and perma-death. It was punishing and you were expected to play lots of short runs, die and try again. (1/2)

@jammingames Yeah, its a tricky one. All I really want is to know if this guy ever finished his game of pong

To be honest, I don't really know how to set people's expectations accurately. Some people seem to want AAA graphics quality from a tiny indie studio, and they let us know that in every YouTube video comment they make. 😅 I think we'll punch above our weight, don't get me wrong. I brought on my brother just to improve visuals and that's what he's focused on. But I'm also much more interested in investing in compelling gameplay that stands the test of time, rather than just pretty graphics. And we only have the time we have. If this game is to ever come out, we'll have to make some tradeoffs somewhere. That's enough of that. Back to work!

@oldyzach We're working on Gravitee Wars. It's like Worms in space. Use the gravity of destructible planets to cause physics mayhem until one team remains. Full game features single player story campaign, plus multiplayer & map editor. Demo on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2944610/Gr…

Hey folks - if you follow my account and are an independent indie game developer, please post a link to your game on Steam/GOG/etc. in the comments. It doesn’t matter if the game is on sale or still in Early Access. It would also be nice if you could write a few words about your game. It doesn’t matter if I’ve mentioned your game before, either. I’m putting together a database of games, and this will be very helpful to me. If you don’t follow my account, please feel free to show me your game anyway. Thank you! 🫡

@jammingames @oldyzach @dantemendes Oh dude, that's awesome. I played GS2000 to death back on the Amiga. Wishlisted

@oldyzach @dantemendes I’m making Gunship Origins, a combat helicopter game in the legendary Gunship line published by MicroProse. It has multiplayer co-op (including same helicopter), pilot career progression, dynamic campaign, and VR support. I appreciate wishlists! steam.jammin.games

It's not your standard #screenshotsaturday, but we're showing Gravitee Wars at Glasgow Indie Games Fest next weekend (11-12 July). I've wanted a reason to print some stickers for ages, so thanks #gigf for giving me a reason :D (Demo on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4376520/Gr…)

@LiamTwose Agreed and I'm living that, but there's definitely a benefit to making a game in a genre that is popular, with an audience ready to pick it up

Its really important as indies to not get hung up on what anyone else is making, especially if similar to yours. If you're doing it right, your game should stand proud on its own. Finding unexplored game ideas is nigh impossible nowadays. The trick is to make it your own. 🫡

Ah, for a bit of fun I made some #gta6 inspired cover art for Gravitee Wars. #IndieGame #SteamGame

@IndieGameJoe Crazy. Well done!👏

Guys, look at THAT graph!😅

@KupoGames I think maybe its how, on the left side of your background it has a feathered edge, and the right side it starts fading to black but then just hits a hard edge. That's my guess

Translate this for me: "Your Backgrounds still appear to have visible hard edges when viewed at resolutions above 1920x1080. Be sure to smooth out the hard edges on the sides and bottom of the Background images a little more so the art transitions seamlessly into the background."
