Use only ONE art to convince people to follow you / your game

This was a really amusing thing to think about. I've found a lot of our best design decisions were somewhat influenced by media outside of our genre or gaming in general🤔 Cowboy Bebop had another strong influence when deciding to make everything look tactile #indiegamedev #gaming #horror #cozy

One small step for man, 3 steps back for gaming! I've seen a lot of rumours / speculation on why @tothemoonexpo.bsky.social was such a flop. I can't confirm any of that, but I can confirm that it was a major letdown: (Thread 🧵)
