💾 Common misconceptions on Game QA #2 “QA testers only hunt bugs.” A game can be completely bug-free and still lose players because the onboarding is confusing, the UI is cluttered, or the feedback is unclear. Follow me if you want to see what QA actually looks like behind the scenes. #IndieDev

A bit late to the party, but ReStory is finally live! 🎉 This was one of the first games I wrote a UX report for back in May, so seeing it finally hit the store feels like a little achievement of its own. Congratulations to the team, and don't forget to check it out! 💜 #IndieDev #UXQA

💾 Common misconceptions on Game QA #1 "Once you fix the feedback and release the new build, you're done." If no one tests the new build, you don't know whether you solved the original problem... or introduced a new one. 📤 Know someone who still believes this? Send them this post. #IndieDev

I ended up reviewing 16 GMTK Game Jam games, and the response from developers was incredibly encouraging. I'm really grateful to everyone who trusted me with their games. It was a fantastic learning experience, and I hope my feedback helped make your projects even better. #GMTKJam #IndieDev #UXQA

Opened the debugger monitor window for the first time in my life. There has been SOOO MUCH progress on boring optimization stuff. Idk if it's good now, but I've definitely put out a lot of fires I didn't know existed. #indie #gamedev #godot #solodev

[Dev Journal] Continuing to play around with how I'd like my environments to look during daytime and nighttime. My goal is to keep these simplistic so that the time and weather can be easily adjusted without compromising the intended look and direction of the scene. #indiedev #gamedev #blender3d

Once, a developer asked me what was the most common mistake I saw while reviewing games. While it took me a moment to put my thoughts into words, I was already certain about the answer: poor onboarding can kill a player's interest faster than a softlock bug. 🔗 Read my post here:

As desperately as I want SFB Games to make another survival horror after Crow Country, I hope they make a hundred more Grimoire and Sally adventures. 9/10 @shikaboom.bsky.social @sfbtom.bsky.social @sfbdim.bsky.social #indiegame 🎮 My review of The Mermaid's Mask on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social:

The Mermaid’s Mask Review — The Geekly Grind

Detective Grimoire and Sally return in SFB Games’ The Mermaid’s Mask, a locked-room mystery with exceptional writing, inventive puzzles, and memorable characters.

What happens when your players don't know what you know? You know the core loop by heart. Every solution feels obvious. Then someone experiences it for the first time... and suddenly there are more questions than answers. 🔗Read my full post here: buff.ly/fkgPphH #GameDev #UXQA #EdTech
