Another round of publisher pitches for Crownbreakers sent out. Man, am I tired.

From what I’ve seen, Steam only has the capacity for ~1200 games to succeed (>500 reviews) every year. Increasing the volume, especially by relying on slop, isn’t going to magically increase that threshold. It’s just going to skyrocket the number of <10 review failures.

Where does the infinite visibility on marketplaces come from? The infinite time to egange with that content... not to mention infinitely low standards. Art is an exchange of appreciation from both sides. Not volume.

Krita 5.3 just came out and it comes with a complete overhaul of the text tool! And when I say 'complete overhaul' I mean not just better UX, I mean 'supports ever single glyph and glyph function out there' (for u nerds: all of junicode for instance) Courtesy of my sister. I am very proud of her!

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...

Only 10 reviews away from 50 on the demo!

only 5 reviews away from a very helpful threshold !! esp at 97% positive :O :O today's my birthday* and it would be awesome to get just a couple more reviews !! store.steampowered.com/app/4044300/... *it's still not

This morning‘s quick jaunt was mostly wipes. But I was playing around with sponsored kits so it didn’t matter.

Time to yell about the upcoming CROWNBREAKERS CROWDFUNDER! Help me make the game better! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sha...

My neighbor told me dungeons keep eating his player characters so I asked how many PCs he has and he said he just goes to the chargen and gets a new PC afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding fictional people to #osr and then his daughter started crying. #ttrpg

I‘m planning to spend Monday writing a big news update for steam. Currently slated to talk about how the Crownbreakers demo went (numbers, feedback) but also to about my vision for its meta game. Beyond that I‘d love to know if there‘s anything you are curious about? Please tell me! #indiedev

Marathon good. Also oops, where did the last four hours go.
