New gameplay trailer and screenshots are live on the Steam page for Open Land. #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

@hua__bai Thank you!

@ololralph Looks very elegant. Nice work！

Demo for my cozy builder game releases in 2 days on Steam! 🦊🌲🌳🦌 #cozygame #indiegame #indiedev

@delaigrodela Sent you a dm

@ololralph I want to ask you, and I'm afraid that when I read the number, I'll work even harder on the game and sleep 2 hours a day. How much time did you spend on the demo, in days?

@FoxUncanny Thank you 🙂 really appreciate it!

This is a pretty cool game. Great work @ololralph.

@delaigrodela 1 person, 10 jobs. I experience it every day 😄

A month has passed since the game Steam page appeared. I didn't even notice it, development process is like a hypnosis, cycle that repeats, time feels like after abducted by aliens. We indiedev sit on all the chairs at the same time. I wonder, if big AAA teams feel the same? No

@Jayson_Composer @jobbidiar @vr_monkey @Flat2VRStudios Thank you!

@jobbidiar @ololralph Yeah 👍 and/or maybe say hello to the talented folks at @vr_monkey —- or @Flat2VRStudios

My VR Game is out now on Meta Quest! 🎉 Infinity Disk: meta.com/en-gb/experien… I originally released it for PC VR in 2018, and I hope it gets a second life now 🙂 #indiegame #VR #gamdev

@GameOrDie007 Thanks! The game had to be optimized to run on a standalone headset. I have improved the gameplay / difficulty and also added a new level for this release.

@ololralph Looks really cool! I'm curious, what did you do for this release vs the PC one? Any big updates or mostly just getting updated to run on more modern hardware?

@gapascarella No Quest achievements yet, but thanks for letting me know! I'll have a look tomorrow if they are easy to add.

@ololralph Nice! Does it happen to have Quest Achievements??

@graftoverflow Thanks! I do miss Echo VR

@ololralph Reminds me of echovr, top quality !

@ReinsPhoenix It was originally released on Steam. I'm currently updating the steam version with the new content, update should be ready in a couple of weeks.

@ololralph maybe put on crazygames or steam?

@Martin76x @n1kolax Thanks martin! I remember you back from the Oculus Rift days :)

@ololralph @n1kolax Love this game

@Jayson_Composer Thank you! From what I heard, it's a bit harder for small indie devs to get accepted and there is an upfront cost. But I'm still open to porting it to PSVR2!

@ololralph Discs of Tron! Kidding, but this looks great. Any chance of porting this to PSVR2 (even if you get help from an indie publisher?) - this would look outstanding on the OLED with those blacks and poppin’ colors! Congrats on the release. Hope it brings in some new fans!

@BeanJuiceStudio Happy gamers are the best gamers

Game devs, would you rather your game have A. 200 reviews with 50% positive Or B. 100 reviews with 100% positive

@jobbidiar I'm open to PSVR2, but I have heard not every game is accepted and it's a bit more of a challenge for small developers since there is some upfront cost

@ololralph Sort of reminds me of sparc PSVR underrated game at the time, Any chance for a port of this on PSVR2?

@GreyAlien It also surprises me how low effort they usually are. It's like some shady random dude on facebook contacting me about buying some counterfeit merchandise in the back of a parking lot.

Inbox is mostly full of scam key requests and help with marketing offers. No thanks.

@BeanJuiceStudio Compared to other platforms I'd say no. Some games get viral attention, but those are the exception. X is ok for just networking with other devs :)

Question for game devs, is X effective for marketing your games? It seems like a great place to network and connect with others, but does it actually help with sales and Wishlists? Trying to level up my marketing but not sure what type of stuff to post on here lol

@galactic_gamee I haven't thought much about Kickstarter yet to be honest :) If I remember correctly, if you don't have a huge following it's quite hard to find supporters.

@ololralph Are you bringing it to Kickstarter?

Big visual update for my indie game Open Land. Demo coming to Steam April 29th! #cozygame #gamedev #indiegame

@DavidWehle The mountain of tasks to create a game can sometimes be super overwhelming. Over the years I have learned to pace myself more. "It's a marathon not a sprint". But sometimes I still forget that.

I worked 15 hours yesterday. I wasn't feeling good after that tbh. Some days I ask myself is all of this even worth it? Do players really care if a tarp flinging off an ATV looks janky, or if a record player has the right vinyl sleeve sounds. It's overwhelming and def not fun.
