I'm working on a winter biome for my fruit farming card game and I think I land on a pretty pleasant concept color pallete, but maybe something else could work? I would love to hear people thoughts on this! #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev

How much effort you as indie devs put into promotion? When I get really busy with that I feel I have no time to actually make the game better. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #gamedevs

Elite units should win this, right? Right? #ScreenshotSaturday #idlegame #indiedev #indiegame #gaming #trailer

Do you develop with colorblind readability in mind?

Turns out red vs blue vs yellow might be not enough when everything explodes Added colorblind modes + general UI improvements. Wdyt? (first two screens - w/o colorblind mode, last two - with) #indiegame

Lmao that’s me. Sometimes I make one last desperate attempt to save it though. My stomach is not grateful

One of my favorite games. I have played it when I was 10, 20, 30, 35 :D it never gets old. Do you know the game? #games #gaming

Checking the ideas I wrote on @sidmeier.bsky.social "A Life in Computer Games". This one resonates the most at the moment. Game dev is an awesome activity even if you get 500x fewer wishlists than wanted :D Thanks to Sid for sharing his wisdom (and for the fun childhood :D ) #indiedev #gamedev

One level of gameplay. In my game if you lose you go 10 levels back. And it is important to rebuild everything fast! www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYYg... #games #indiedev #indiegames #gameplay

Give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day. Give him a giant turret, and diplomacy is off the table. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #wishlistwednesday

- Tell me you are bad at making trailers without saying it - I have replaced my trailer with unedited gameplay and view to wishlist conversion went from 2.3% to 2.7% To the real problems. I want to make a meme out of it but cannot find a suitable template. Ideas?

Got a new update on itch I am often surprised about the discrepancy between what I think I have done and what I have really done. In my head the former is tiny, in reality the project does move forward quite well. #devlogs help a lot with reflection i-am-happy-to-see-you.itch.io/incremental-...

Dunno what has happened but my itch CTR has been steadily growing in the last weeks and went from ~1.5% to 5.25%. I am super happy about it but I wonder what was the reason. I did have the major update + new capsule on the 5.04 but it did not have any effect back then #indiedev #indiegame #itchio

Making my way through adding juice. Honestly, I suck at making games visually appealing so even such a small thing feels great #gamedev #indiedev #idlegame #upgrades

How do you detect optimal FPS for a particular user machine? My auto battler is compute hungry. I thought of detecting persistent low FPS and change it via Application.targetFrameRate but dunno if it is a huge hack #indiedev #gamedev #unity3d #game

Visual update: kept the paper style but pushing more hand-drawn. Which version works better, old or new? #gamedev #indiedev #art #idle #gaming

The word “ethical” didn’t make it into everyone’s vocabulary

For my devlogs on itch, I like writing walls of text. I don't even think anyone reads them but it is good for sorting the thoughts out (like this one i-am-happy-to-see-you.itch.io/incremental-... )

Cannot decide. I can have an almost game by Next Fest but wishlists are low. I am inclined to waiting till October but then I am quite sure I will be working in another project most of the time because well, i cannot work on one game for so long lmao

Got 50 wishlists! Super happy to see the number. Thanks to everyone <3 For the first time indie dev each wishlist means a lot and gives more motivation to make the game even better You can also join our so far modest group :D Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4526450/... #indiedev #gamedev #happy

Discovered that Incremental RTS on itch stands quite strong. It is the 128th best rated RTS :D Given the amount of games I am quite proud actually i-am-happy-to-see-you.itch.io/incremental-... #indiedev #itch #incrementalgame #gamedev #gaming #idlegaming

That wonderful feeling when you cannot read two lines of text without skipping 50% of it because you've had too much caffeine

It's #ScreenshotSaturday! 🎉 Let's promote your game! Drop your #indiegame screenshot below 🚀 #gamedev #indiegamedev #gamemarketing #steam

Build factories. Spawn armies. Regret everything. My incremental RTS is getting meaty #ScreenshotSaturday #indeidev #gamedev #gaming #incremental #idlegame #idlegaming

Milestone reached: got my first wishlist deletion :D Now it is a real game. Do you regularly clear your wishlists? #indiegame #indielife #gamedev

The sad thing about being an indie dev is that you gotta do "marketing" aka social media presence. And the more of that is in the life the less time for developing new cool features there is #indielife #indiemarketing

Putting the progress side by side really shows how far it came. Any suggestions to the new one? #indiedev #gamedev #gaming #incrementalgame #idlegame

I hate making trailers. Gets ugly or stupid, mostly both My ideal trailer scenario I see now is like 5 seconds of action and then just black screen with "YEAH WHATEVER JUST WISHLIST THE GAME IT IS FUN" #gamedev #indiedev

Bsky seems to not be taking it good today

Can you rebuild before the swarms destroys you? youtu.be/CYYgKftrAV0 #indiedev #gamedev #devlog #teaser

We can do it, just release the first one! #devlife #solodev #indiedev

My wishlist data for the first 10 days Steam: 16547 impressions -> 1076 visits Visits in total: 1424, so ~350 visits came on top from outside (thank you for the interest :) ) Wishlists: 33, conversion visit -> wishlist ~2.3% First feelings: both more and less than expected :D #devlog #indiedev

I took down the old-ugly-grey-mess screenshots I had. Welcome the new-colorful-mess ones! (I like them waaaay better) #gaming #indiedev #games #gamers #idle #incremental #devlog

Gotta print it out and put on my table. My fav meme #meme #gamedev #indielife #gamemarketing

I've got feedback that my game looks more like.. grey vs grey on brown so I worked on adding outlines. Can you tell where the enemy is and what's going on? :D #indiegame #feedback #devlog #gamedev #incrementalgame #idle #rts

Especially fun if you have 100 other uncommitted files on top and gotta work through the mess #gamedev #indiedev #devlife #devmeme #gameprogress

I was reading an article on howtomarketagame and was like.. yeah, exactly, relatively modest (Actually on bsky I have a rather alive account.. but it describes my other social media quite precisely) #solodev #gamedev #devmeme #indiemarketing #IndieDev #meme

Capsule progress Old itch -> new itch + new Steam, self made / not an artist I am not sure if it catches the eye / if it is too busy but as it took me like two weeks I am happy enough :D #steamcapsule #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #incrementalgame #gameprogress #idlegame #gameshowoff

I have got a major update of Incremental RTS on itch. Better visuals, sfx, balance, performance. Was working for almost two months to bring it there i-am-happy-to-see-you.itch.io/incremental-... #indiegame #autobattler #incremental #idle #release #indiedev #solodev #itchio #webgame

Dunno what about you but for me creating a steam page was pure hell. Done with #capsule and #trailer in two weeks. Ah, there is library capsule. Oh, they are of those new random sizes. Now what, app icon? I just want a page, not launching now lmao Designing was fun even not being an artist

How much time does it take for you to make a steam page? I am doing my first one and it already takes days lmao. Maybe I am perfectionist though

Me: I am tired of optimizing games Also me: creating an #incremental game that easily reaches 1k units 🫠 Gotta come up with some smart moves to restrict the counts. Ideas? :D #indiedev #rts #incremetalgame #idlegame #solodev

I'm doing a lot of core changes in #incremental #rts i-am-happy-to-see-you.itch.io/incremental-.... One big request for auto-battlers is the speed up button. Got it working today youtu.be/pxpiIhKDR_o #indiedev #indiegame

I find it funny that my posting mode is rather: sit under the rock for two weeks, then just post 5 things in one hour and go back. I think it is far from optimal but hey, it is so comfy down there

What's up devs? What have you been working on lately? Any exciting news? :) #indiedev #indiegame

For the free #incremental game released several days ago I've got some statistics on itch.io. Maybe it will be interesting for you as well :) www.reddit.com/r/IndieDev/c... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
