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…

9,000 more people looking for jobs in what is already a horrendous market, probably because “they can be replaced by AI”. @microsoft.com Any wonder why I’m trying to escape the corporate tech world and be a full time #indiegamedev instead?

Well I just submitted my Steam store page for review.

So can I just make a @steampowered.com page for my game with all placeholder art/trailer assets just to get the process moving? Ideally I’d like to launch on itch and have the steam page ready for wishlists at the same time. #indiegamedev

The game is already becoming a problem for my dad and it’s still just an early prototype. He’s retired, I don’t feel too bad about this. Yet. #indiegamedev

That moment when you have one chance left and you start to sweat… feels really special when it happens testing the game you’re building. #indiegamedev #gamedev

My dad just play tested my game for an hour. Multiple times he pointed to the screen and told me about some cool thing that happened. I think I may be on to something… #indiegamedev

I will likely be buying a Switch 2 just like I got my Switch 1. Pre-owned and roughly from 4 years from now. #switch2

Hello, my name is Pat and I am an #IndieGameDev. More details soon, but for now, go play this game I helped design! black-heart-games-studio.itch.io/plinkidle
