Hear me out. The aim of your demo is NOT to get wishlists. The aim of your demo is to offer an experience so good it makes people WANT to wishlist your game, zero hesitation. Bug-free; quality; enough to whet appetite. Goldilocks style: Not too hot, not too cold, just right. 🥣

Time flies when you're having fun.. There are now less than 30 days until #PitchYaGame is back to cleanse our timelines. 😌👌 Where in the world will you be pitching from? 🧐

#GameDev Tip: adding a debug menu is really useful!.. - Skip intro, add money, etc. etc. allows you to set-piece. BUT... don't add it too early, otherwise you'll miss out on the refinement process, that comes from being forced to play/test something over, and over again. 😤

33 days, 18 hours and 43 minutes until the next #PitchYaGame 😌 Let's make June the biggest day of recognition for independent video games, ever. To encourage more games from across the world to take part, here are timings across ALL major time-zones. timeanddate.com/worldclock/f...

Considering Video Games take so long to make, the video games space doesn't half move fast!! 😤😅

If one of your goals in life is to be a successful #GameDev; to make money from doing what you love, you NEED TO HAVE a plan. It's not as simple as just make video games, release them and boom. I've spent a lifetime with video games in every capacity and this shit is HARD! 😤

#GameDev is easy 😤😅

You never truly know how much work's involved in making video games until you're in the thick of it. Sure you can have an idea, but even the smallest ideas end up way more complex than we realise. Trick is, keep chipping away. Foundation. Core. Close loops. Compare progress. 😤

Always believe in yourself, never undersell yourself! I once applied for an admin job and ended up creating an ecommerce position for much more pay all because I sold my skills during the interview. Granted it won't always happen this way. Also negotiated no phone on desk. 😅😌

Tip for #GameDev / anyone with giant to-do lists. Grade the difficulty. 🔴= difficult 🟠= medium 🟢= easy Especially useful for days where you WANT to be productive, but aren't firing on all cylinders. Grants you quick glance picks. Plus easy ticks can be a great foothold. 😤

Still 3 PYG dates in 2026. 😤 Jun 5th - #PitchYaGame Sep 4th - #TeaseYaGame Nov 6th - #PitchYaGame

There's no greater motivation in #GameDev than.. Then vs Now 😤

In 6 years of running #PitchYaGame the respect for our movement has been superb. That said, odd things do cross my feed, that make me 🧐 So please, respectfully, save any PYG adjacent forays for June or November, on actual #PitchYaGame days after PYG has gone live. 🥰 TIA. 👌

Hey #TeaseYaGame! ✨ This is our game! 🎮 A chaotic multiplayer horror where goblins hunt you in the dark and your friends might betray you. Welcome to Pit of Goblin 👹 store.steampowered.com/app/3253530/...

If I can give y'all one big tip after a lifetime in games. Make games you find undeniably fun, and can pour your heart & soul into. Makes game development so much easier, especially with how long games take to make!! 😅 .. thought it was also high time I showed up! 😶

Oh!Ware is a spiritual Mancala roguelike where every marble shapes the board and fate. Every pit is a choice and every marble, a desperate prayer. 🌰 - Sow the seeds of victory 🛡 - Forge Alliances 🙏 - Carve your own destiny #TeaseYaGame #gamedev #indiedev store.steampowered.com/app/4334030/...

Breaking: The first official #TeaseYaGame IS Live! 🚀 Open to ALL games, from all walks, across the globe. Time once again, to show the world your #VideoGames!

Ok fine I'll enter #TeaseYaGame.. 😅 Here's a small teaser of #GachiconArcade. 😌👛 Manage and run your very own arcade. Buy, play, repair all your favorite machines. And more... Demo coming as soon as it's ready. 😤

Breaking: The first official #TeaseYaGame IS Live! 🚀 Open to ALL games, from all walks, across the globe. Time once again, to show the world your #VideoGames!

Pitching: Using "X x Y x Z" you are directly comparing to those games. Using "Like X and Y" you are directly referencing those games. Using "Inspired by X and Y" you are nodding to those games as inspiration. The way you pitch matters because.. it.. sets.. expectations. 🧐

I have added it as a Feed page to watch.

Ahead of #TeaseYaGame on the 6th, I would love for everyone to really get behind and involved with TYG (& PYG); check out, engage the games being teased. Share the movement with your communities / peers. All help is super appreciated. It means the absolute world to us dev's. 😊

Might enter #TeaseYaGame on Friday.. 🤫🤔

#TeaseYaGame is back, in 4 days. 👀

It often feels so conflicting to continue working in the video games space during times like these; a game of Trivial Pursuit. Remember though, video games (& media) offer billions of people across the globe, worlds in which they can escape; solace. They are needed. War isn't.

7.7 days until #TeaseYaGame! 😌

Breaking: #SteamNextFest is here! 🥳 3400 games... now, tell me, why is there no advanced search "filter" for Next Fest? 😤🧐

If you love playing games, don't let anyone ever tell you you can't. If you love making games, don't let anyone ever tell you you can't. If you're "interested" in making games, don't let anyone ever tell you you can't or aren't allowed. Anyone. Any age. Any experience level 😤

If you can press the button and I can press the button who is going to buy games when they can also press the button.

I would sooner quit making games than press a button to have one made for me. 😤

15 days until #TeaseYaGame 😌👌

Zoom out on video games as an ecosystem for a second. Crazy to think there's millions (possibly even billions?) worldwide, playing, involved in OR involved with video games (in whatever capacity) right now. From a kid growing up in awe, to now. Still blows my mind. 🤯

Anyone wanna publish my next game. 🤫

PSA: 80 LEVEL are offering a chance for free promotion for devs and pubs.. 👀 (see image for link to apply)

#GameDev 20% coding. 80% fixing the bugs, you've added. 😤

Some people are calling it "The Best Trading Card Inspector Demo Ever"... 🃏🕵️

#PitchYaDemo? Sure! Why dont you give your mouse a small break? Go check out the Soulfused demo for a keyboard-only experience that puts a modern spin on the classic text adenture genre! Type your way through the story and try to rediscover what is lost. s.team/a/3919240/

Are Open Alphas allowed? 😜 bsky.app/profile/jouw...

Lets do a quick #PitchYaDemo.. Who's got a game demo out, or out soon, can be on any platform or device. Drop them below or "quote". 🫡 😌

Breaking: 30 days till the first official #TeaseYaGame of 2026! 🥳🔥

PSA: Video games take longer when built in public. You're not just working towards demo / release, you're actively having to work at showing them off too. Ofttimes steering away from main task at hand; getting it made. Find balance. Celebrate/promote major milestones more. 🧐

Matched with this lady on unhinged. 🚩

Tip. If you're going to announce something the same day. Just announce it, don't pre-announce the announcement. Social media very much lives in the moment. The exception being if you're announcing something in a longer timeframe away. i.e. a few days, a week, month etc.

I'm done fighting algorithms. 😤 People either follow me or they don't, like my stuff or don't. All my future posts either live or die by the sword. All my future game releases either live or die by the sword. What will be, will be. The time for caring about numbers is over. 😌

Excited to start showing more of Gachicon Arcade soon. Been waiting for the game to be refined enough, i.e. closer to demo/early access stage. Definitely feel it's getting close. Hoping people will be pleasantly surprised when MY day to #PitchYaGame finally arrives. 😤😅

Tabs were a mistake. 😶
