That positive ranking really helps for getting found in player discovery queues. #Steam #gamedev

Scorefall officially has a positive rating on Steam. Time to retire. #indiegamedev #gamedev

Scorefall is currently sitting at 8 positive reviews and 1 negative. After the next review, regardless of preference, the game will officially show a “Positive” rating on the #Steam store page 🤯 store.steampowered.com/app/3829550/... #indiegamedev #gamedev

I have officially made it as a game dev.

Well, I did a thing today... Scorefall has officially been released. What a journey it has been. And now it's time for a walk outside! store.steampowered.com/app/3829550/...

Doing a bit of a pivot in this new year... I help studios and companies validate game mechanics before committing to full production. Fast, playable, web-based prototypes that prove your idea works. Let me know what you think of the site re-design and if you want to start a convo. patt.games

It is incredibly gratifying to see people actually playing the Scorefall demo and getting comments like this on youtube videos made by strangers. Especially when the video and comments are in Russian. I guess I need to tackle localization next... #indiegamedev #gamedev

Achievement Unlocked: Demo live on Steam Reward: Having to market it… store.steampowered.com/app/3829550/... #gamedev #roguelike

Hit a pretty big milestone for Scorefall today, the demo is now live on Steam! Next up is NextFest! #indiegamedev #gamedev #demo #Scorefall

NEW DEVLOG - Relics, Achievements and Visuals Oh My! pattgames.itch.io/scorefall/de... #indiegamedev #gamedev #Scorefall

After wayyy too long, I finally have enabled the Credits page. All of the incredible art was done by @cairn4.bsky.social creator of MewnBase. The music track was done by JPass, a childhood friend whose skill in everything music I was always super jealous of. pattgames.itch.io/scorefall/de...

Tons of visual updates to the game and Mac and Linux builds are now available for download. Check out the new lightning bucket effect, I'm pretty proud of that one. pattgames.itch.io/scorefall/de... #indiegamedev #gamedev #roguelite

Players now have the choice to enter the Relic Shop or choose an extra Upgrade every 5 rounds instead of being forced into the shop (which they might not have the cash for, and that felt bad). Also testing out Linux and Mac builds! #indiegamedev #gamedev pattgames.itch.io/scorefall/de...

Relics were kind of broken when quitting/continuing a run in progress and a few other bugs were fixed too. Very thankful for players that are finding and communicating these bugs! pattgames.itch.io/scorefall/de... #indiegamedev #gamedev #scorefall

Added Upgrade Info Popups, a frequently requested feature! #Scorefall is also still on sale until the end of the day! pattgames.itch.io/scorefall/de...

A group of immigrant rights organizers are helping people use Fortnite to practice what to do if they encounter ICE agents in the wild.

Already changed up the demo, I removed the Round Restriction so that you can play through all 50 rounds (and more), but still no Meta Upgrades or Challenges. Maybe that will be just the right amount of tease. Much testing to be done. Let me know what you think: pattgames.itch.io/scorefall

Working on a demo for #NextFest and trying to figure out what to restrict. My gut is telling me to disable Challenges, Meta Upgrades and limit the round you can reach to maybe 20 or 25 but maybe that’s too restrictive? Demo is up! pattgames.itch.io/scorefall #indiegamedev #gamedev #gamedemo

Found a HUGE score at the transfer station this morning!

I've been making a whole lot of progress with Scorefall lately, but today... Today I spent hours of precious free time and mental energy trying to fix a bug that made the game unplayable and the solution was so, so simple that I am doubting everything. But tomorrow is a new day. #indiegamedev

Implemented save states so you can quit during a run and resume where you left off without needing to start fresh! Also added a much-requested Lock Drop Zone Toggle so it won’t move on you accidentally. And tons of bugs were fixed, go see: pattgames.itch.io/scorefall #indiegamedev #gamedev

100 followers. I did it. I won. Now #Scorefall will be a viral success on its own and I don’t need to do any more social media marketing right? Right? #indiegamedev #gamedev #marketing

New Trailer and Screenshots for the Steam page! store.steampowered.com/app/3829550/... #indiegamedev #gamedev #Scorefall #roguelite #roguelike

Lightning Bucket has a new mechanic and visuals. Buttons have been updated across the entire game. Visual tweaks to peg hits, achievement popups, CTAs, Jackpot Buckets and more. Bug fixes! Added a link to the Steam page on the Main Menu, go wishlist Scorefall! pattgames.itch.io/scorefall

Marketing Plan: 1. Post occasionally on #bluesky and maybe #reddit because I hate all other social media platforms. 2. ? 3. Profit! #indiegamedev #marketing #marketing

More updates! It's been quite a productive week! pattgames.itch.io/scorefall/de... #indiegamedev #gamedev #roguelite #roguelike #Scorefall

Another update already?! Yes I'm serious! pattgames.itch.io/scorefall/de... #indiegamedev #gamedev #roguelike #Scorefall #plinko #balls

@kanaratron.bsky.social How do I go about getting added to your solo dev starter pack? Thanks in advance!

Tons of updates for #Scorefall! Finally! pattgames.itch.io/scorefall/de... #indiegamedev #plinko #roguelite #roguelike

New build is up with ENDLESS MODE so you can keep playing after round 50. Lots of bugs fixed and numbers balanced as well. pattgames.itch.io/scorefall

#Silksong 100%. What a masterpiece, better than the original imo. Now time to get back to #Scorefall after a very expected but also very needed month off. Go wishlist it. store.steampowered.com/app/3829550/...

Today is a very good day. #Silksong

I made a trailer for Scorefall, I think I nailed the drop. store.steampowered.com/app/3829550/...

Well, I wanted to release my game for testing and wishlisting in August and I made it by 10 minutes. Introducing Scorefall. A chill 2D roguelite based on pachinko. Let me know what you think. pattgames.itch.io/scorefall store.steampowered.com/app/3829550/... #indiegamedev

Name change approved by #Steam. This game becomes real in a few days… #indiegamedev

#Silksong IN TWO WEEKS!

I suck at social media and marketing but you should follow me anyway because I’m releasing a game on #itch and #Steam soon.

Been a busy few months. I’ll finally have something to show for it in the next couple weeks hopefully… #indiegamedev

Mark is playing games from the jam live! www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCVg... @gamemakerstoolkit.com #IndieGameDev

I needed a break from my main project and fever dreamed out a “game” for the #GMTKGameJam in the past couple days. Side note: How does one game jam professionally? Let me know what you think. pattgames.itch.io/reset

#Silksong Over/Under? #NintendoDirect

I fully concur @johnromero.bsky.social www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

How to focus on game dev when the world is burning? Maybe focus on game dev because the world is burning? #indiegamedev

Itch tip for game designers: Add links to your other games as the "Download & install instructions" in your Itch games. Use the embed codes to put them right there, easy to get. Help people find your other work!

So I’m really going to try “marketing” my games just on here and maybe Reddit, but that’s it outside of Steam and Itch. Here goes nothing! (possibly literally with this strategy…)

@gamemakerstoolkit.com might be my favorite game design resource on the planet. Mostly because of Mark’s buttery voice.

Steam store page was approved today!? Time to get this thing on itch and get some feedback aside from my dad and my friend Brian.

Steam came back with only minor updates to be made to the submission. Could be approved this week. I needed that little win, the summer is so busy and finding the time/energy for game dev is tough.

My website is live! There’s nothing on it, but it’s MINE. patt.games Now to brush up on the html class I took in 8th grade…
