Sometimes it feels like a waste of time putting a ton of effort into a part of your game that you know not many players will even get to. But when somebody actually gets to it and it hits the exact way you wanted it to, it's so worth it 🥰 #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

‪I love when some indie game websites have you fill out a form to submit your game for review, and one of their questions is "what is your marketing budget?" Well...I found a pretty nice quarter in the parking lot the other day. You can have that if you want?? #indiedev #indiegame #indiegamedev

Me sowing: Yes... yes! All of these character portraits and facial expression variations for the visual novel are AMAZING! Me reaping, having to actually type the portrait changes into the code after every single line of dialogue: ...ouch, my wrists🥲 #indiedev #indiegame #indiegamedev

I'm working on a horror game, and I have a very important question for anyone who's worked on one before. Is it normal to be so scared of your own assets that you don't want to open them? 🥲 #gamedev #indiedev

referring to metroidvanias as "hollowslop" to simultaneously piss off people who like metroidvanias, people who like hollow knight, people who want a better genre name for "metroidvania", people who are sick of the word slop being misused, and gradius fans who want to see more checkpoint recoveries

Reminder! There are 3 mechanics that no one is allowed to include in their games anymore: * Water level puzzles * Escort missions * Stealth sections that restart if you fail You get a warning for your 1st offense, and for the 2nd, I will come to your house and cry. Thank you! 🥲 #gamedev #indiedev

Every time we go to Five Guys, theyre just a little closer to realizing that $14.00 EarthBound burger.

We call them Skeets because of this guy and we call it Bluesky because he was blue

Just a reminder that you have a superpower: making an indie dev's day by leaving a positive review on their game. I was having a crappy week, but I just read a new thumbs-up review on my game, and now I am an unstoppable force of joy spewing rainbows and kittens! #indiedev #indiegame #indiegamedev

It's been 1 YEAR since I released my game. As a small celebration, I've updated it with *~* nEw cArDS *~* and put it on sale. Relive the joys of playing cards and getting mad at your friends during elementary school recess, only $2.49!! store.steampowered.com/app/3087810/... #indiedev #indiegame

Damn everyone has games that are so gorgeous. I'm glad I decided to occupy the ugly lane so I don't have to compete with all these pretty games.

Wait. I felt so cool reading these back in elementary school, but... were they just the Kidz Bop versions of classic novels??

There is something so funny to me about cask of Amontillado jokes. Someone being lured to their doom by the promise of the favorite food is just so funny

Video games are so cool, they're the only medium where you can make difficult, interesting decisions that affect the story like choosing between: "will you smile at the old lady?" or "will you stab 10,000 puppies to death?"

Recesses is part of the Steam Summer Sale for only $2.49 If you're looking for a game about 5th graders dueling with cards and philosophical monologues (???) on the playground then oh boy do I have good news for you! store.steampowered.com/app/3087810/... #indiedev #indiegame

Next up in the Indie Gauntlet Showcase: Recesses by @sanjuny.bsky.social! This unique card game visual novel has me battling weirdos to find my missing friend! www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGML... #Recesses #CardGame #VisualNovel #Roguelite #indiegauntlet #indiegame

You know what? I think I kinda like this set #MTGxFINALFANTASY

People be like "man, these games were hidden gems" and then name the four biggest indies that year

Dive into over 5 hours of indie gaming magic! We explored 10 incredible indie titles that deserve your attention. Here's the live stream VOD with timestamps (edited videos coming soon). youtu.be/EjMJ4fEkChw #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiegame #gamedemos #indiegauntlet

Indie Game Gauntlet - Sunday, 6/15, at 8AM EST! GAMES PICKED! I'm playing 10 indie games/demos for 30 mins each. As a fellow dev, I'm excited to share my first impressions and feedback. Check 'em out! averagegamestudio.com/indie-game-g... #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev #indiegauntlet

Publishing a game is so much nicer than publishing a book, because if you decide you want to add/change something, you can just... update it no problem! Whereas after you've published a book, if you want to change anything it's like "lmao oh well lol." #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

a kid with lesbian parents will have to call one mom "mother" and the 2nd mom "earthbound"

Got feedback today where someone didn't like the main character being flippant during the tutorial when learning how to play the Battaliens card game. But... is this *not* a universal experience? Am I the only one who gets sass whenever I share a game with someone??😆 #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

When you send out your game to 20+ Steam curators... and only get 1 new negative review 😆 #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

I realized yesterday that my game's 1 year anniversary is coming up, and thought it might be fun to add some new cards to the game to celebrate! You know, just a few small tweaks, nothing big... ...aaand 863 new bugs later, I'm regretting this decision, but plowing through 🥲 #indiedev #indiegame

Listen, I'm not saying my game has the *best* anti-cheating mechanism, but I am saying it has the *funniest* one 😎 *moby ♥♥♥♥ is "moby dick" #indiedev #indiegame

When PC games stopped being sold in big boxes full of maps and trinkets and with a manual you could kill a crocodile with, we knew civilisation had collapsed. 💔

Four cards to get to know me. I, uh, may have a type 😆

That indie dev feel when your game gets a new review after three months 😍🥰🥹 #indiedev #indiegame

Received this email over a year ago. They played our first game, Towertale. It's emails/players like these, are what's driving me to keep making games. Gamers, if you really love an indie game, please do reach out to the developers. Things like this can save lives.🫂

Soo, it's a totally normal thing to make DDR stepfiles to the soundtrack for your own game, right? This is a thing that normal devs normally do all the normal time... right?? #indiedev #indiegame www.youtube.com/watch?v=3av4...

Recesses is on sale for only $2.50! If you're looking for a game about 5th graders arguing over capitalism and the meaning of life while playing an alien card game on the playground, well then oh boy, do I have good news for you🙂 store.steampowered.com/app/3087810/...

she's bugfixing again

Marketing indie games be like 💀 #gamedev

🔴 New YouTube Video Day 🔴 (Ad/gifted) Today we're trying our Recesses, a game with the more-ish Balatro feeling but it's more Pokémon shaped! Thanks to Scott at @sanjuny.bsky.social for the 🗝️ I had lots of fun with this one and I hope you enjoy it too! youtu.be/9nLGgZVMPN0

🇫🇷 Ok, #WillTheManGetFrog en français est dispo sur Steam ! Hésitez pas à RT et/ou laisser une petite review. 🙏 🇬🇧 Alright, #WillTheManGetFrog v2.4 has now hit Steam! Go check it out, and please RT or leave a review if you can. 🙏 store.steampowered.com/app/2658990/... #pico8 #indiegame #gamedev

Yeah. ...yeah.

I genuinely love it when a player lets me know they've encountered the most *incredibly* niche of niche scenarios in my game and it crashed for them 😆 I wish I could give them a "One in a Bazillion Bug Finder" Steam achievement or something!

Wait... if eggs are expensive now, and diamonds are also expensive, does that mean this line makes sense??

Reminder to give a good rating to indie games that you played and enjoyed!! It helps indie developers a whole lot and makes their games more visible 🫶

The two most beautiful words a little game dev can hope to read 🥹 THANK YOU to everyone who took a chance on playing my game and left a review to get there!!
