Just found a site, kind of wiki.. dedicated to my game? I checked it a bit, looks like just a fresh page with some info about the game, no fishy URLs or .exe or anything Is it something common? I have never seen such things #gamedev #solodev #indiegame

Having the game cloned sounds like "a good problem to have" - at least, the game is worth cloning :D But when it happens it is already too late Do you consider that risk in your development? #indiedev #solodev #gamedev

I find it funny that low effort yields better results - Just pushed the 4 week prototype on itch because got tired. Got several thousands plays within a week - Worked for a week on the Steam page. Got 1-2 wishlists per day #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #gamepromo

Start with scouts, end with a tank flood. Incremental RTS demo is on Steam! The trailer is a bit too large but you can check it on YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICMq... #indiegame #gamerelease #idlegame #incrementalgame

I got feedback that the soundtracks make it hard for streamers. I use some paid tracks from uppbeat. Youtube then does not allow uploading it. It allows stripping it automatically at least. How do you normally solve it? #solodev #indiedev #gamedev

I've been feeling down today. Overwhelmed by the amount of things I should have done weeks ago. Degraded game performance. Broken balance. Having a (hopefully light) viral infection. And so I thought that the only thing that could turn my day around would be the bruschetta I made

One to go! #solodev #indiegame #indiedev

Is there some preferable size for the demo? My demo has ~30-45 minutes of well balanced experience. Players can still continue but the available upgrades won't be enough for long. I wonder if there are benefits to having a longer one out. Eg Steam prioritizing demos that are played for 1 hour +.

I've got myself a new capsule art! It is the old one recycled but now it does not have the out-of-style explosion and the letters are drawn on paper - as everything else in the game I am almost happy with it #indiedev #capsule #steam #solodev

Fighting against relentless swarm I have added some new mechanics like exploding bugs, resource producers, global laser. I actually think I finally have enough content for the full game. Now pruning and balancing #gamedev #indiegame #incrementalgame #rtsgame

Do you think this title font fits better than the one before? I like it more. Maybe the "mental" part is a bit too large, feels out of place #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #incrementalgame

I love building features that I use when playing. Recently finished adding the range indicator for all the turrets. Now you can see if the enemy base can be one-shotted :D #indiedev #gamedev #incrementalgame #rtsgame

I always wonder how it is possible to follow both "make small games" and "make good games" at the same time, lol #solodev #gamedev #indiegame

Sometimes I disappear. It is a kind of escaping, I need some time alone Social part obviously suffers from that But the good thing is that I focus on the implementation of the game. Got a couple of new systems almost ready #solodev #indiedev #gamedev

Dunno why but I absolutely dread making trailers My old one is a bit outdated (and gifs on the Steam page are ancient) but I cannot go past the block If it is not there tomorrow I need to use the 20 € trick again I guess :D #solodev #indiedev #gamedev

The final upgrade tree is there. 333 upgrades! I did not intend to have a pretty number but I like the coincidence, lol #gamedev #upgrades #idlegame #incrementalgame

That's been a very packed week. From coding to making resources to testing. I am damn tired but very happy with the result. Not doing much today, trying to fix my base in Mindustry fixing some tiny bugs on the side Back to the business tomorrow!

Me: preparing a commit with ~100 files changed Also: the only visible change is the game name in the menu I find the style a bit too cartoonish though, need to have another pass #indiegame #gamedev #rts #idle #incremental #solodev

After almost 2 full years, I finally released my first game on Steam!! I've been solo-developing a strategy settlement-builder called Settler's Domain: store.steampowered.com/app/3396920/... I'm so so pumped to finally share it with everyone!! #indiegame #release #announcement

Very helpful👍 #pixelart #indiegames

My favorite use of AI is creating internal tools Here is one that visualizes the current upgrades tree and possible options. I don't even check how it is coded, players will never see it. But it makes the life so much easier when you can play around with the numbers (btw I'll go with option C :) )

Festivals are hard I did not get into any which was expected. The toughest miss was the Incremental games festival. Given they took ~300 out of ~1k submissions lol #solodev #indiegame #gamedev #gamedevelopment

Me when the Steam demo is already approved but I cannot stop changing shit #indiedev #gamedev #gamedevhumor

I have never gone that far haha #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #incrementalgame

Apparently, I was worrying too much about the 300 upgrades goal I am at 268 now. Still missing 4 units and ~5 unique upgrades for each of at least 6 units. Meaning even without any additional fillers I will easily cross 300. So the question now is: what upgrades do I remove? :D #gamedev #rts

It looks quite funny. You can definitely see the found upgrades Not sure if I want to keep it though :D #indiedev #solodev #indiegame

Testing makes UX better. I was so damn annoyed that I could not find the upgrades I needed so that I built this search function. I actually miss it a lot in some games to just get a quick overview #indiegame #rtsgame #upgrades #idlegame

Incremental gamers! Do you care about fantasy upgrade descriptions in idle-ish games? Example: in my game each upgrade has extra part like one below: Name: Base Hardening III Description: _Reinforced assembly lines harden core superstructure._ Increase base HP by {health}

I was dead serious when I told that most of my assets were drawn on the old envelopes In Germany, there is a shitload of them anyway New upgrade category icons! #gamedev #indiedev #fun

My game has 7k words. No wonder I cannot finish the localization even for those few languages I know lol #indiedev #indiegame #solodev
