"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!
The indie game I'm most looking forward to is They Speak From The Abyss: Zenith, a queer SMT-style dungeon crawl RPG by @kalpasoft.bsky.social First time an NPC in a video game has ever asked me if I've had bottom surgery. And I could respond by killing him! 🙂 store.steampowered.com/app/2393290/...

I played Spectral Tower recently. I have a way more feelings about it than I probably should have for what kind of game it is. I made it to about a quarter of the way through Queenrose Tower and thought "Okay, I think I get it."
Okay I did the thing! Starter pack of cool people making cool RPGs! I added a bunch of people I thought of off the top of my head but please reply with your project if you’d like to be included! RTs appreciated! (No projects using AI) #gamedev #indiedev #jrpg go.bsky.app/8BLNSby

every day i'm tormented with the horrific compulsion to make a creature collector game.
I know there's more baffling, but what comes to mind is one time someone went on a giant rant about how my game could not be beaten because it "Wasn't designed to be beaten" And "Enemies just come out if nowhere, Skyler can't catch a break."
If you see this, please tell me the worst/most baffling bit of creative feedback you've ever recieved. Mine is still the time somebody told me my aliens had names that were too alien. Not that they were unpronounceable, just that they didn't sound enough like human names.
Now that the game is nearly done, we're going to be putting out a final demo update in the next couple of days that fixes a lot of the issues with the build that's currently up. The main fixes include balancing and fixing some items and skills that didn't work. We also added a full combat log.
I don't usually post about my personal life, but... There's a gym near me that offers fencing classes and I've been thinking about going.

I combined all 22 of the Shin Megami Tensei fan models I've finished over the years into one image. With the exception for Strawberry Frost, who was lost to time. Demon names and games they're from are in the alt text.
