Très heureux·ses de vous annoncer notre nouvel énévement ! 🔥 Game Craft se veut être un RDV annuel pour les professionnel·le·s du jeu vidéo. 😎 Détail du programme à venir ! 👀 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁 - 𝗟𝘆𝗼𝗻 📅Samedi 14 novembre 📌MJC Monplaisir #gamecraftlyon #gamedev #gamedeveloper #gamedesign #leveldesign #ux

Je suis au #GameCamp . Petit live-tweet de la table ronde "journalisme jeu vidéo en 2026" avec Chloé Woitier, Héloïse Linossier, Alexandre Cortes Valentin Cebo ⤵️

My site is 12 years old. WTF happened? Why bing doesn't find it?

I'm really satisfied with the new aiming control. - when you push the joystick, it draws the gun (and vice versa) - it reloads automatically when the joystick reaches the neutral position

Honestly...it will be my first God of War (if it comes to PC). I've never been hyped for big ball of muscle like Kratos. I prefer graceful and fluid movements of Lune in expedition 33 for example. And c'mon, she's not old, she just looks tired. youtu.be/HLMX2w3cwuE?...

Woohoo! I just get my badge and gifts for Crankstone's best continued support nomination in the #playdate awards 2025. Thanks the community and organizers!

I've improved the aiming system in my game thanks to playtest. It's way better! store.steampowered.com/news/app/465... #shootergame #gaming #gamedev

Je serai au #GameCamp ! Si même les organisateurs "m'attendent avec impatience", qu'attendez-vous pour bloquer un créneau avec moi ? Il me reste un peu de place ! J'y vais pour rencontrer des gens. Échangez sur nos projets. Et pourquoi pas trouver du monde pour du co-dev.

Hello, I'm a french developer making a 3D game for the #Playdate, it's called Super Toboggan 3D and it's a scoring game about dodging obstacles in a tunnel. Follow me if you want to know when it's out! You can also read my (french) devlog here: pikario.fr/capsule/devl... #gamedev #indiedev

"Nested typed collections are not supported" Why not #Godot?

The new personal calendar on Steam on my side: I see 4 games on 10 with lower wishlists than 20k including 1 with less than 1500 (using Gamalytic). So that means that it's still possible to be visible for small games.

Crankstone is the retro shooter with the fastest mini games of the Wild West! My take on the arcade genre powered with only 2 colors. A mashup game inspired by Time Crisis and Wario Ware! Help me spread the word and wishlist! 🌟 #pitchYaGame store.steampowered.com/app/4652230/...

L'envers du décor dans le jv : que se passe-t-il quand une boite de jv coule... Première fois que je reçois un courrier de ce type. Près de 100 personnes concernées dans un licenciement. Evidemment en tant que solodev, je ne peux rien faire pour elles. #jeuxvideo #gamedevfr

I don't like this! It pollutes my UTM stats. A company uses bots to advertise its product on my Steam UTM traffic page. Steam should block it.

So there is a game studies write up about the Playdate. Check it out! gamestudies.org/2602/article... #gamestudies #playdate

Obviously when you see colors on my monochrome game, it's for debug! 😆

Today I've added particles on impact. I tried to reuse a GPUParticles2D node, using its restart() method. But looks like restart() doesn't clean up correctly and sometimes some particles go crazy and fast (see in the yellow circles). #godot #gamedev

3 weeks ago, I released Gambonanza Since then the game has reached: - 200k+ sales (135k on Steam - 75k on mobile) - 300k+ wishlists I wanted to share the real numbers, what helped the most, and the things that genuinely surprised me as an indie dev 👀 Thread 🧵 1/15

Some progress on becoming Steam Deck Verified. I have now this. When clicking on "Developer Comments" button, it leads to the article I wrote about my intention of supporting fully the Steam Deck. #steamdeck #steam #gamedev

Just launched my steam page. Any love for my 1-bit shooter mixed with minigames? So wishlist my friend! store.steampowered.com/app/4652230/... #indiegame #1bit #shooter #minigames #wishlistwednesday! #madewithgodot #playdate

I was in a game convention a few days ago, this is what I learned from it. 🧵 #indiedev #gamedev #gameshowcase

Yeah it's done now! First level in steam wishes reached!

If you want to be part of the first 100 people to have wishlisted my game 👉️ 👈️ ❤️ I'm currently at the median according to howtomarketagame but that's ok, I still have time to 📈. #indiedev #indiegame

My trying to promote on Reddit 😢 🤐 #gamedev #gamemarketing

UPCOMING PUBLIC WORKSHOP Take This will host a public workshop for game devs on 5/28! The workshop will equip devs with the knowledge & skills to tackle burnout The workshop is free w/ a suggested donation of $25 and options to sponsor others' seats if you can. Reserve now: givebutter.com/menta...

I built something crazy! A level where you can turn off candles to play in the dark. It’s tougher, but doing so unlocks a multiplier. High risk, higher score. #indiegame #indiegaming #gaming #shootergame

What a lovely booth! Public could play Crankstone on Playdate and on the Steam Deck! @indiegamelyon.com

Crankstone, sorti initialement sur Playdate et en cours de dév' pour PC : Du shoot façon Time Crisis (et autres mini jeux) sauce Western, hâte de voir comment le gameplay original à la manivelle sera retranscrit ! De @loudo.lugludum.com store.steampowered.com/app/4652230/...

Something I like when using Godot it's the possibility to have different colors to debug hitboxes. Still it's still great to have those same color boxes in the Playdate simulator. #gamedev #godot #gameporting

Venez tester Crankstone sur Playdate ou Steam Deck ce samedi à Villeurbanne ! J'aurai des stickers 🪝et des t-shirts ! #jeuindé #lyon #jeuxvidéo

🔼 HEXA is OUT NOW on #steam! the best thing since the hexagon (maybe) is here...a cosmically-good match-six puzzle game. with addicting gameplay, bundles of modes, & dozens of "missions" (you can even make your own!) + achievements, leaderboards, & more! YAY! store.steampowered.com/app/4581230/...

Valve says that we can have a new status by writing up a post in the game's community, so that's what I did, but still no update here after more than a week. Any advice to update the Steam Deck Compatibility status #indiedev #gamedev ? partner.steamgames.com/doc/steamdec...

Does people really use Steamdb as a discovery tool? Got 3 wishlists for 11 views only. I wonder how can I be more visible on SteamDb now? #indiedev

Made a banner for an event this weekend! Still a lot of work for the Steam Deck demo.

As a small indie with no marketing budget I try to use every media possible. Here is a little breakdown comparison between Itch and IndieDb based on a similar article about Crankstone on Steam. Unknown page views and wishlists on Steam because haven't pass the threshold in UTM analytics. #indiedev

I've made this gameplay video for the Steam page, but it's time to put it on Youtube! I think my next videos will be me playing on the Steam Deck and then hopefully with new content. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Qv1... #indiegaming #retrogaming #shootergame

Thanks Marisa for showcasing Crankstone and have kind words youtu.be/1MSUtOqBU1Y?... #playdateConsole #indiegaming

It's been a long time since my last article on indiedb, but I failed miserabily : my content was archived, meaning it doesn't show up on the homepage. It seems that media needs to be 600px content wide or centered. So I fix everything and hope it comes to the homepage soon 🤞 #gamedev #solodev

So finally the reddit post is here www.reddit.com/r/indiegames... I think I got reject twice not because of the media but because of the texte. It looks like if you have something to say, you have to write a comment instead. Lesson learned!

It says to post a link to youtube, so that's what I did for my second attempt. And... the autobot deletes my post again!

Yeah I read it, and it looked fine to me! Aaaah Reddit! It says to post video, and my video was rejected because it's not from youtube or imgur lol.

One week after page launch on Steam: 50 wishlists. According to UTM, 50% of my wishlists come from my links. I got more views from instagram. More wishlists from twitter. And more conversion from threads. #gamedev #steamwishlist

Too late ! 😭

The longest barbecue marathon world record in Oullins, France. Not finished yet but it is close to the target of 81h. I was there 🤘 🥩

So I've released a steam page recently....on a side note, my first experience with steam was with steam greenlight 10 years ago but never released anything! This one is the good first one! 💪 lugludum.com/blog/crankst... #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #indiegame #steamwishlist

First day of gathering wishlists for a short black & white pixel art shooter with minigames! Still a long road for Crankstone for breaking through! #indiedev

Wishlist Crankstone on Steam - Crankstone lugludum.itch.io/crankstone/d...

Just launched my steam page. Any love for my 1-bit shooter mixed with minigames? So wishlist my friend! store.steampowered.com/app/4652230/... #indiegame #1bit #shooter #minigames #wishlistwednesday! #madewithgodot #playdate

Just added a steam widget on my website before launching the steam page 👀 ...can't wait. #indiedev

Oops! Water leak in my basement. Boxes are washed up! #playdate
