I had a great call with Chris Zucowski this week. We talked about indie game marketing; misconceptions about what marketing even is, and what makes a good indie designer. His course is on sale now, and I have an affiliate link for it in the video. Hope you enjoy the chat! youtu.be/O7GoWKwEwIk?...

major tech tree expansion in progress! my game ends around where Civ starts, so i'm focusing on the many steps between Controlled Fire and the start of the Bronze Age 🔥 #gamedev #indiegame 🎮

Really cool video that made me understand sound harmony and dissonance at a more fundamental level: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCsl...
