A lot of indie demos still open with a slow tutorial instead of the best five minutes of the game, even though most players quit before minute ten. Front-loading the hook probably matters more than protecting story order. #indiegames #gamedev
When it came time to add magic to Paper Rogue, I needed a spellbook. So I went to a flea market and bought a real one. Set up a green screen at home, filmed my own hands opening it, and dropped that shot straight into the game! #indiegames #gamedev #indiegame #dungeoncrawler #devlog #rpg

I'd been reading Night on the Galactic Railroad (銀河鉄道の夜) lately and absolutely fell in love with it. It made me wonder—what if this ski slope felt a little more like the Milky Way? #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #storyrich #wishlistWednesday
Difficulty sliders in indie games keep multiplying into five or six presets, but the one setting most players actually want, slower enemy tells, rarely gets its own toggle. Are studios solving accessibility or just padding a feature list? #indiegames #gamedev
#Update 2 brings a bunch of new heating and cooling buildings to #Adaptory! You can set up heating systems utilising gases, liquids, or your standard space heaters like these! Be careful things don’t get too toasty, or your explorers might struggle to survive... #indiegame #earlyaccess #indiedev

Missed it Yesterday? Working on something new 😊 #indiedev #solodev #indiegame #steamcontroller #steamdeck
Announcing a new little project I am working on: Fingerdrums! Use the Steam Controller/Deck touchpads to drum through a short rhythm experience! You can already wishlist it on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4991820/... #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #steamcontroller #steamdeck #teaser #indiedev
Wishlist counts get treated like the finish line, but a wishlist costs a follower nothing while a purchase costs money at a specific moment. The number that actually matters is launch week conversion, not the pile you built up getting there. #indiegames #gamedev
