The first game I ever worked on, MuteX+, has finally exited Early Access. store.steampowered.com/app/3504980/Mu… For everyone that has supported it: Thank you. For anyone that decides to try the game or demo on Steam: Good luck. #indiegame #indiedev

@zep_excpoint @BluebriarArts Desktop tower defense does this too iirc, it even had strategies around building paths and then blocking them at the last second so they’d go around

@BluebriarArts you could try making something like fieldrunners where you make a path out of the towers,, thatd be neat i think

ok i MIGHT make this into a game. i am just stuck on what exactly it should play like. i don't just wanna make another Bloons or PvZ but i dont wanna tire myself out with an insanely complicated game

might just say "fuck it" and start treating my youtube thumbnails like gartic phone prompts

@a4yssa @zzznangong Damn, I knew I recognized the original but my tired-ass did NOT search. Very odd for someone to AI upscale perfectly good pixel art when you can just like, blow it up in aseprite or piskel (maybe some software automatically did it)

@GuacOk @zzznangong actually you're right i see it's AI upscaled lol

@257gon_ bc she deserves it. the agenda must be maintained

why did I put geist i dont even play geist i just lied for no reason

@CloudlessStudio Good music will easily make your game stand out, but it's also a wonderful motivator. When development got rough, listening back to my music artist's songs kept me going; I had to finish the game so that other people could experience them.

I know the gamedev meta now is to make some addictive numbers game or friendslop. But if you are going for something different one of the most powerful things you can add to your games is good music.

@sacredfire1 @TheGamesDet Oh shit, that's actually super cool. I always dabbled since around the time of Sun and Moon, but I usually just played the occasional Other Metagames ladder (stuff like AAA)

@GuacOk @TheGamesDet I used to play Pokémon competitively on PokémonShowdown!. I reached #1 on the Black 2 / White 2 Übers ladder back in the day.

3 lucky winners will get a #Steam key for MuteX+! To enter this #indiegame #giveaway #raffle: ❤️Like and 🔁repost ➡️Follow me and @GuacOk 💬Tell us what you like about this game Optional: wishlist to support the dev - link below 👇 Winners on 27/06!

@TruthEveryday95 @TheGamesDet Every purchase and bit of support is so much appreciated. If you happen to like it, steam reviews help out a lot.

@GuacOk @TheGamesDet I'm a longtime gamer. I'm someone who mostly remembers the old games. Even if I don't win this game, I'd still like to buy it to show my support.

@sacredfire1 @TheGamesDet Big fan of your performance in the Ubers tier

@TheGamesDet @GuacOk I like bullet hell games.

@TruthEveryday95 @TheGamesDet I always get pleasantly surprised when people know/remember that game. I've never heard it mentioned, so it feels like ball knowledge

@GuacOk @TheGamesDet Yeah, yeah, I hadn't remembered the name of the game, but I remembered it when you mentioned it.

@TruthEveryday95 @TheGamesDet It's main inspiration was from a flash game (Amorphous+), so that nostalgic energy shines through even after all the chaos I added.

@TheGamesDet @GuacOk The variety of enemies, the cute graphics, the hack-and-slash gameplay. İt all brings back those old nostalgic feelings for me.

Thank you for hosting! Even if I had a rough time finishing development, MuteX+'s unique gameplay washes my regrets away and makes me happy. I hope the winners will enjoy the challenge, but a demo is also available on Steam for anyone curious.

@LiamTwose Building up frameworks is a benefit that people underestimate. I noticed that after working on my first game for a while, making new games was a much faster experience because I had already solved a lot of the "how do I implement this" problems by re-using frameworks.

Another bonus to developing it, is it's enabling me to build up frameworks that I can migrate to other games / stuff in the near future. 🫡 Plus, the more enjoyable you find the process; and the premise, the more you will put into your game. This, for me, is that game.

Newsflash, I'm making a game that surface level, is not unique; majority of games aren't. I'm fully aware of similar games. 🤫 I'm making it my own; immersive, packed with depth, detail & I'm testing the hell out of it! Most importantly I'm making it because it's fun. 🫡

Monumental day for indie game dev

@Angellwives @sacredheartq4 DO YOU HEAR ME GLORIA??? 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

@sacredheartq4 This entire minute 🤤🤤

@BeanJuiceStudio store.steampowered.com/app/3504980/Mu… Love me some brutally honest feedback, would be very useful as the game nears full release.

Game devs, link your game and I'll give you some brutally honest feedback.

@shaderbunny Where would be best to leave feedback? I didn't spot a place to leave it in-game or on the page.

Feedback from Steam Next Fest so far🤞😍 "It's cool! It's weird! Hell yeah!"🤸‍♀️ "yikes, this game is so fast" 👀 "I don't play arcade games normally but this is sick!"🙏

@tsukishroyanagi yeah I just started omitting certain details but keeping it consistent (for example not drawing dialyn's tiny panda icons on her hairpins, necktie, and hips). It's helped a good bit but there's still so much bullshit on them

drawing hoyo characters makes me understand why people just draw them naked

@rexatronus Used to be Giratina but now it's Tinkaton
