Free demos still split devs down the middle. One camp says a demo steals the launch window and trains players to wait. The other says a good demo converts 3x better than wishlist-only. The data doesn't cleanly settle it either way. #indiegames #gamedev

one thing i realized working on my #indiegame: i cannot be my own playtester and i cannot be my own marketer. which is funny bc i never have anyone else to playtest and my day job is literally marketing. welp. #gamedev
Custom Runs now live in Shard! Build your own on Run Select: time limit, boss, enemy density, + modifiers (Hardened, Frenzied, Apocalypse etc.). Harder runs = better rewards. Beat a strong one and I may add it to the game. Who’s first? 🔥 #gamedev #indiegames #indiegame #newfeature #custom #run
