Solo devs: do you really do everything yourself? Or do you buy assets, outsource, collaborate, trade skills, and focus your time on what you're best at? Where do you draw the line? #gamedev #indiedev

Night 1 ➜ Night 25 The enemy attack budget grows by 10% every night, escalating from a handful of drones to a full-scale assault. How long do you think your base would survive? #gamedev #indiedev #towerdefense

Game design question: Is it better to teach players a system before they need it, or only when they actually encounter the problem? #gamedev #indiedev

Working on onboarding for my tower defense game. If you had never seen this game before, would these tutorial cards make it clear what you're supposed to do? What's confusing, unclear, or missing? #indiegames #steamgames

This is what panic looks like. #indiedev #gamedev

Think fast. React faster. Survive an endless swarm of drones using weapons, traps, and powerful special items in this minimalist horde survival arena. store.steampowered.com/app/4033100/... #PitchYaGame

One of the weirdest things about game development is that players can completely ignore a mechanic you spent weeks building and then spend an hour talking about a UI element. #gamedev #indiedev

Think Fast. React Faster. #indiegames

Safety Bubble or Area of Destruction? #indiegames

Imagining whole worlds takes seconds. Building those worlds takes years. The trick isn't imagining bigger worlds. The trick is imagining something you can actually build and that will still be fun to play. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

Disarmed mode: your route is your weapon. This is what your route looks like - no weapons, just traps, items and movement. #indiegames

Anyone here plays space combat/simulation games? If yes then which ones and what you enjoy most. #indiegames

WIP: first look at 5 turrets - Laser, Mini-Gun, Plasma, Pulse and Rail Gun. #indiegames

This ability does one thing extremely well: Erase everything nearby. #indiegames

Best crowd control ability - pull 'em all together with Magnet Beacon #indiegames

EMP field doesn't deal damage - it just gives enough time to survive a little longer. #indiegames

Safety Bubble is the best... until elite enemies arrive. #indiegame

In your opinion, how many released small games is enough before moving to something bigger?

WIP: Night 16.

What made you decide - today is a good day to start making my own game? :)

Every minute the swarm gets denser, faster, deadlier

No weapons. No shooting. Just traps, turrets, and survival. #indiegames #gaming

Any solo devs here making enough from games to live off it long-term? How did you get there: one successful game, multiple small releases, years of building an audience, publisher deals, contract work on the side, luck, consistency? #indiedev #gamedev

The Swarm never stops, so neither can you! #indiegames #gaming

Gamedevs, do you have a game you regret not cancelling earlier, but pushed through and released anyway? What happened in the end? Did it fail, surprise you, teach you something valuable, or just drain time and money? #indiedev #gamedev

You can escape the swarm with Shield Ram. Escaping elite enemies is a different story ⚡ #indiegame #gamedev

Gamedevs, how do you organize giveaways for your games? Do you work with specific communities, Discords, curators, content creators, etc., or handle everything yourselves? What has worked for you, how many keys are usually involved, and did it help with wishlists/visibility? #gamedev #indiedev

I added a shield to protect players from the swarm. Players turned it into a battering ram. #indiegames #gaming

What’s the last game you bought, and how did it turn out? Did it live up to expectations, become a new favorite, disappoint you after a few hours, or are you still telling yourself you’ll play it “soon”? #gaming #indiegames

I added a magnetic beacon to control the swarm. Players started turning entire sections of the arena into plasma traps. #indiegames #gaming

Yesterday I asked gamedevs how they decide the price of their games. Today I’m more interested in the player perspective: what makes a game feel worth its price to you? Do you look at playtime, replayability, genre, visuals, reviews, uniqueness, overall vibe, or just instinct? #steamgames #gaming

I added exploding batteries as an emergency weapon. Players turned them into a boss deletion strategy. #gaming #steamgames

Gamedevs, how did you decide the price for your game? Did you base it on wishlist numbers, similar games, playtime/content, genre expectations, production quality, or something else entirely? #gamedev #indiedev
