It's the last day of #SteamNextFest, and the perfect day to give Tyrants Must Fall a try! TMF is a #turnbased tactics #roguelike with fast, puzzle-like battles and tons of options for building an army to match your playstyle! #indiegame Wishlist/Demo: store.steampowered.com/app/4464400/

A little while back I talked about this idea of "genre collapse", but I don't think I talked about how Tyrants Must Fall was designed with that in mind. I love #turnbased tactics, but lots of other people don't! And I know lots of people are turned off by the idea of how *complicated* it can be.

So yesterday was the 2-year anniversary of when I walked away from my 20+ year career and set off to become a full-time #indiedev #solodev. This was, by most normal evaluations, an insane thing to do! But at this 2-year mark, I thought I'd look back at how it's gone so far. 🧵
