Whelm 🐧 EA Out Now!

Whelm will be in the Steam Summer Sale. Make sure you wishlist in the meantime. Oh don't mind the penguin. He's just frustrated by the lack of discounts in his world.

@BeanJuiceStudio 3 points for wishlists. Not counting early access as made or released.

Game devs, how many points you got? 1 pt: made a game 2 pt: released a game 3 pts: got 1000+ Wishlists 4 pts: sold 500+ copies 5 pts: got 100+ reviews 6 pts: released 2+ games 8 pts: got a publisher 10 pts: went full-time

Always iterating.

ok fine you can share your game but you don't *have* to

🚨 INDIE DEVS 🚨 DON'T SEND ME ANYTHING. JUST WANTED TO SAY YOU'RE COOL AND EPIC AND GOOD LUCK WITH NEXT FEST

In my indie game you can do this...

🚨 INDIE DEVS 🚨 DON'T SEND LINKS. SHOW ME YOUR TRAILER 👀👇 #IndieGame #SteamNextFest #TrailerTuesday #PitchYaGame

@DownloadableDLC @Gol_D_Retweeter This works too.

@Gol_D_Retweeter If someone has a weapon on you, the best defense is to honestly just tell them to stop it.

Помню как ходил на курсы самообороны у челу который тренировал узбекский спецназ, он нам тогда сказал что если на тебя напали с ножом или пистолетом лучший способ выжить - выполнять требования напавшего, а не отбиваться. Есть только одно исключение которое нельзя выполнять

In my indie game you can do whatever this is.

@CokeFluk The definition of indie isn't important. Just tell me how many people and years the game took.

This is even crazier because the original Hollow Knight was made entirely by dudes who quit their jobs and had to get other people to buy lunches for them. They put their everything into the game because they were going to lose everything if the game was a faiure

@BBear_Studio I don't think anybody would think twice about entering NF with 30k wishlists. Most games never get close to that.

One marketing mistake I made was using my Steam Next Fest too early. I joined February's Fest with 30k wishlists and low momentum and gained about 3k. Looking back, saving it for June with 120k wishlists and much stronger momentum would likely have produced a far better result.

@kamel418 @emkenobi @FilmUpdates Some more than others.

@emkenobi @FilmUpdates His movies always felt Ai generated

Emily Blunt on creating the alien clicking sounds in ‘DISCLOSURE DAY’ "Steven and I discussed it and he said "We could do it with AI or you could do it" and I said "I feel confident I can make some weird noises." And I was sending him voice memos of me clicking, humming mixed with morse code sounds… I just tried everything." (Via @etnow)

@clemmygames Yes

This indie developer is making a sci-fi driving adventure where you upgrade your truck, scavenge rural backroads and uncover the secrets of a world quietly ruled by an AI. It's called DETOUR, do you want to play?

That was close though...

Since the shout force is relative to the head, you can pull off ridiculous moves like this. All that boring core work is starting to pay off. I can't wait for someone with real skill to play this.

@explodethepa @rready556 @raven_brah All prime physical specimens. Rivendell is like the olympic village 24/7. That's the real reason Bilbo aged so quickly there.

@rready556 @raven_brah Nah man. Those elves get down.

This is what Aragorn slept next to every night for 200 years

This indie game about a toddler was made by someone with a toddler's understanding of physics.

I'd try 30-50% off in the summer sale for a start. I'd also redo anything AI assisted so you can get rid of the AI disclosure completely. It will put some people off immediately. You NEED to get Steam deck verified. Are you considering a Switch or PS release? This is clearly a game for handhelds and consoles.

So my game flopped after 3 years of work...😢 Since its release on May 26th, I've sold 77 copies... Streamers and curious gamers loved it. I have 2800 wishlists, 800 of which are from the release date.... What do you think? Be honest.🙏 store.steampowered.com/app/3239940/Me…

@aaron_the_sloth This clip symbolises my journey towards success. There may be some self sabotage involved.

One of my favorite things about social media is seeing projects before they become successful. Indie developers: Show us what you're working on right now. Prototype? Early alpha? Demo? Launching soon? No judgment here. Let's see those passion projects 👇 #GameDevelopment #IndieGameDev #Gaming #BuildInPublic
