@TJGameDev Massive numbers, congrats again 🎉

My solo indie game Tabletop Tavern has sold 100,000 copies in its first two weeks! 🎉 Been a little preoccupied with bug fixes and balance patches but wanted to take a moment to thank all the people who have supported me over the years. I could not have reached this milestone without @unitygames for their engine and support, especially that of @Raggune The entire @SyntyStudios team for their models and their direct support of me for the past 5ish years @AdventureMtn for the most accurate indie dev marketing advice @JonasTyroller for his videos and podcasts on game dev, truly the best content out there. @UnityCodeMonkey @SebastianLague @TurboMakesGames and @dani485b for their educational game dev content @IndiegameJordan for all his hard work marketing @GamirrorGames for Chinese Localization and QA @allcorrect for Spanish, French, Russian and German Localization @AlexRak02 @usmandevYT @InsomiSnorlax @the_real_aia for being supported game dev bros @noclipvideo @dannyodwyer @DustinCanFly @thomasbrushdev @ThomasStewartW @idlethumbs for providing insightful and entertaining game-dev/video-game content @ChrisWillx @AlexHormozi For providing inspiring and life changing advice Eren and Nathan for giving me opportunities to be a professional unity developer And last but most importantly my beautiful wife for believing in me and putting up with all the weekends and long nights I spent in front of a screen. 100,000 is just the start. Immensely proud of the community around this game and I look forward to continuing development on it! Thanks again, TJ

@aflekkas_ Check warp terminal

@miziziziz Seems like a interesting concept for game developers, how are you gonna setup the backend for tracking?

I'm starting an affiliate program where content creators can promote my games and get a 50% cut of sales. Would anyone be interested in helping me test it out?

How I used open-source to make $10k+/mo with my AI app And how you can do the same - even if you're just starting out One year ago I launched my AI image upscaler - and made a wild decision: - I open-sourced the entire AI model - I even put it on replicate so anyone could use it for free No paywall. No free trial. Just free. -- What happened next surprised me: - My launch post went viral (because I gave something valuable away) - Retweets from open-source & indie hacker communities - Telegram AI channels picked it up - Dozens of blogs and news sites linked to it - GitHub repo hit 4,000+ stars (which = more exposure) - My model on Replicate got 12 MILLION runs Suddenly my app became “famous” inside the AI dev space. And all of that traffic led users to my paid app --- Why it worked: The free version was perfect for devs. But my paid app added: - image history - simple API - no setup or code - super clean UI So people upgraded --- You can do the same. Here’s how: 1. Pick a strong open-source model (or open parts of your app) 2. Make it usable on Replicate, fal, or Github 3. Build a wrapper app with better UX, API, extra features (or you already have a website) 4. Share your launch story on X, Reddit, Hacker News, etc. 5. Focus on visibility, not hiding your secret code Open-source isn’t charity. It’s a distribution hack. You give first - then build something people want to pay for If you’re an indie dev: You don’t need ads. You need attention. And open-source is the best engine for it.
