A good game appeals to gamers. A great game creates gamers.

Your tenth attempt will be a hit

@jogamedev When is a prototype ready to be validated

Most gamedevs still haven't learned this important lesson: Vincent went all-in on this second game and failed, but rather than giving up, pivoted into something small and fun and it took off. My takeaway is: validate your ideas as quickly as possible. Don't sink years and thousands of dollars into a moonshot idea that isn't validated. You can make something fun and simple in a few days. What an awesome case-study. Go Vincent!

@Zoroarts Let me develop them

My Problem is that I have too many Game ideas and not enough time to develop them… 😂😭 My plan Right now is to first develop the 3 ideas for Small and viral Games, that I have in my Head Right now and then I will continue to develop bigger projects again 🙌

@bernkarstel Aura

why do people add free steam games to their wishlist

@GreyNovGames Can’t be that difficult to ignore them

@MjTheHunter Meta right now is farming juice for impressions

I LOVE effects for games. I think they're so fascinating! Hand drawn, particle effects.. You name it. However, I'm feeling like I see a trend in games where there's an insane amount of effects and it actually takes me out of the experience. Less is more

@chongdashu Please explain what is juice here. I’m seeing amazing graphics for animation. This style reminds me of anime fighter games that have a lot of this “juice” but feel terrible to play. Is juice just a new word for animation effects?

Proof that it’s not always about graphics. It’s about juice.

@CodeRed_dev Nothing more cringe than relentless Godot evangelists

I just feel like you don't need to put another engine down to show how cool yours is. Godot is cool btw I used it a few times.

life lesson right here

Tradcoding is back?

Fear doesn’t disappear, it is carried.

@albertadevs Dw an ai was trained on it

crazy that a few years ago i wrote a 17 page design doc about a dropdown menu and now no one even reads the code for a dropdown menu 😭

@CloudlessStudio Aggregation of marginal gains

Is next fest really worth it? I feel like your game needs organic growth to be seen anyway, like a viral post, or YT coverage. I feel like an extra few hundred wishlists won’t make a difference unless your game is already quite popular.

@JonasTyroller How are we supposed to know

People who don't typically enjoy puzzle games, what would it take for you to enjoy one?

I’d be fine with a 50% steam cut

sometimes I am the problem

It sounds cynical, but the silver lining is that some people will respect you for being your authentic self—no matter who you become. Be grateful for any of them in your life. They are rare.

I don't believe respect is earned. The list of things I need to accomplish to "earn" respect is never ending. There will always be something else to prove to people who want to put you down.
