Here's a fun #gamedev exercise: what's the minimal set of filters you have to add on Steam to make it look like your game is the #1 most popular upcoming game?

Sometimes you just want to solve a problem in the snarkiest way, not the most helpful way: youtube.com/shorts/awjW_... #gamedev #indiegame #idlegame #justhavingfunwithit

Check out the two-year journey of Skeleseller (consolidated into half an hour): youtu.be/ADFAs0dshKQ It took a lot of work to get to this point! #gamedev #indiegame #idlegame #progress

New Skeleseller trailer! youtu.be/pLt7sdqPpFE The game doesn't launch until March, but the demo is freely available now on Steam; try it out! #steam #godotengine #indiegame #idlegame #milestone

It took ~16 months, but Skeleseller finally has 10k wishlists! 🎉 It launches in just two more months (March 17th). Hopin' I can garner even more wishlists before then. 🤞 #steam #gamedev #celebration

Do *you* know a game dev trying to release a game? If so, give them a hug because they are STRUGGLING.

It only took >1 year, but you can *finally* bring customers an item that they desire—no more having to wait for them to walk aaaaaall the way across town. They'll also tip a comically large amount if you've already found valuable loot! #indiegame #gamedev #idlegame #screenshotsaturday

Skeleseller has a launch date—March 17th, 2026. I'm UNREASONABLY EXCITED! 🎉 #gamedev #indiegame #skeletons #casualgame #rpg

I wrote silly descriptions for most of the boss items in Skeleseller, but people rarely see them, so here are my favorites. #indiegame #idlegame #steam

I made a 15s-long trailer for Skeleseller—SHORT AND SWEET! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #idlegame #roguelite #godot

After 6 months, I've finally made another devlog for Skeleseller: youtu.be/FrGPY24H7R4 Check it out! 😁 #devlog #gamedev #idlegame #godotengine #indiegame

I just published a new version of the Skeleseller demo; the UI has been overhauled! Play it for freeeeeeee: store.steampowered.com/app/3445480/... #indiegame #gamedev #idlegame #godotengine #pixelart #steam

The Skeleseller demo finally passed the 50-review threshold on Steam, meaning it now shows as VERY POSITIVE! 🎉 Next stop: 500 reviews! #gamedev #indiegame #steam #devlog #godotengine

@smallsthekobold.bsky.social Hey, I tried your game! I have some feedback (feel free to ignore it). I'm attaching it as an image because I'm on my Windows machine which has no real access to my GitHub or personal site for uploading text more permanently than a paste service. :(

Best game of Day 5 of the Steam Next Fest: Skeleseller by @adamlearns.bsky.social. Also, much thanks to him for the raid. It gave me my most viewed stream of all time. store.steampowered.com/app/3226210/...

New perk: GARBAGE TIME! Workers won't clog shops again. 😤 (I recommend enabling sound on this video for an explanation of what's happening) P.S. Skeleseller will be in Next Fest TOMORROW! 🎉 #indiegame #gamedev #idlegame #godot #screenshotsaturday #devlog #indieshowcase

You can now resize battle windows in Skeleseller (small, medium, or L A R G E)! Elite battles will automatically take place in the largest size. (the sizes look tiny in this GIF, but they're much more reasonable in-game) #gamedev #indiegame #idlegame #screenshotsaturday #godot #godotengine

Here's how automatic battling looks in Skeleseller. The adventurers do all of the work so that you can relax! 😛 store.steampowered.com/app/3226210/... #gamedev #indiegame #idlegame #screenshotsaturday

Just a little GIF of the new item-purchase animation in Skeleseller (it's sort of subtle). I'm happy with how it turned out! #gamedev #indiegame #idlegame #screenshotsaturday

I'm back to making shorts because it turns out that they maaaaaay have actually been helping! 😳 Here's one about how redundancy in UI can be helpful: www.youtube.com/shorts/mto9y... #indiedev #gamedev #ui #ux #softwaredevelopment

I updated the Skeleseller trailer: youtu.be/SgALkrFC6I4 This is what we'll use for Next Fest in about a month. 😁🎉 #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #Godot #ScreenshotSaturday #idlegame

A big new update to the Skeleseller demo is out! Try it for free here: store.steampowered.com/app/3226210/... It's got ~2 more months of hard work behind it and I'm excited to hear what you all think! #gamedev #indiegame

Made a new short on how we reduced the complexity of the spell-casting system in Skeleseller: youtube.com/shorts/Ycbl3... #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

I made my first "short"! 🎉 youtube.com/shorts/jSQSD... It's part of a series I'm starting called "Game-Dev Problems and How I Fixed Them", and this one covers our use of in-game tips to guide new players. #gamedev #indiegame
