happy #MarketingMonday indie devs

Want to work with me? 👀 I'm looking for a 2D level designer to help me build levels in Pixel Washer, using the Tiled map editor. Email me if interested (see below link). I'll be out of town until next week so plz be patient!

I am once again begging indie game devs: ‼️ Create your Steam dev/pub landing page! It takes 5 minutesssss www.valadria.com/create-your-...

How would it be possible to ship a full game in just a month or two?? Interested to hear your thoughts. Here are some of mine: www.valadria.com/can-you-ship... #indiegamedev

The problem was the hit boxes. Had to "shrinkwrap" the rectangles to the size of the (dynamic) text. #indiegamedev

Genuinely one of the hardest parts of finishing is the tantalizing mirage of starting over and it somehow being easier and quicker next time. It's a trap!

Distracted by a side project idea again?

nobody ever tells you how distracting making games can be 😭 you'll be working on something but you find a weird bug in another part of the game so you feel compelled to investigate then suddenly it's tomorrow 💀

NOW where are you at on the game dev map?

a while back i wrote up an overview of the project i'm working on- here it is in case anyone is curious!

plz enjoy the real life diorama photo I took for my indie game #WishlistWednesday #WashlistWednesday store.steampowered.com/app/2572060/...

sorry about this

I post this every few months for laughs (and tears) but I'm just now getting to the point where I've gotta buckle down and CRANK OUT CONTENT to finish my game. 🚫 NO new game ideas, NO distractions, IT'S TIME FOR CONTENT (This is scary for me, wish me luck aaaahhhh)

"Be ok with games taking a long time to make" 💯
