Matt - Tiny Kingdoms

Big thanks to everybody who encouraged me on this whacky gamedev journey! Today I replaced the complex cloud system with a simple shader and tuned some of the sound effects #gamedev #indiedev #devlog

@jasonkneen Don't mean to be a asshole here, but have you actually zoomed in?

GPT 5.5 is surprisingly good at doing low poly threeJS models in code.

@DespedidosXIA @geekbb Buildings perspectively distorted...

@polybench3d @geekbb ?

纯前端项目，14×14 网格上随便放建筑、树、地形，总共 75 个手绘风素材。渲染用了分层缓存，不动的瓦片不重绘，只刷新正在操作的部分，静态画面几乎零开销。触屏和鼠标都能用，手机布局会自动适配刘海屏。 github.com/boona13/mykono…

@calfurdev Not a marketing expert, but from what I gathered it's direct outreach to smaller channels om YT that serve the niche of your game. Expect very low response rates.

@polybench3d any thoughts on reaching out to influencers? on which platforms is it worth it?

I let my local LLM research the indie marketing space. Here's the result (Qwen3.6 on an RTX 3090) Which platform gives the best organic reach for game marketing? 🧵

@GreyAlien Congratulations! 🥳

What this means for an indie dev: The realistic strategy is: 🔹 YouTube Shorts as your primary organic reach play — game footage, funny moments, quick dev updates 🔹YouTube long-form for trailers and devlogs (search-driven, evergreen) 🔹X/Twitter for gamedev community and press — not for player reach 🔹Discord for community building — your actual audience lives here, not on any feed 🔹Steam Next Fest — still the most reliable way to get a visibility spike, but getting saturated and more competitive 🔹The old playbook of "post on TikTok, get viral, get wishlists" is broken. The new reality is: you need multiple small channels working together instead of betting on one algorithmic lottery ticket.

I've added a boxleiter-based revenue estimator: steam.polybench.net/boxleiter/
