5 mails later and I still don't know why I didn't receive any #Steam payout yet. They can't give me any infos because I changed my mail domain. Okay fair point - I updated my account mail address, resubmitted the tax information. But they still refuse. This is so exhausting 😪 #gamedev #indiedev

Maybe I'm just too stupid... 🤔 But is there any way - as a gamedev - to get notified about new discussions on your own Steam store page? I already clicked "Subscribe to Forum" but I don't get any mails or steam app notifications on my phone whenever someone starts a new thread. #steam #gamedev

After the game is before the game...I started a new little prototype. It's a shop simulation where you play as a crow, selling all the shiny stuff like branches, stones, bottle caps ✨ I started implementing an inventory system, picking up items and notifications. #gamedev #indiegames #cozy

Release day was AWESOME! 🎉 My best friends streamed the game; I already got 2 reviews and more people wishlisted the game \o/ If you haven't checked it out, please do and - to support indie devs like me - write a review! #FindThisPixelAnomaly #cozyhorror #indiegames #horror

Waiting for the play testers feedback...What else can I do? Mocking up fake Nintendo Switch cartridges 😬 Controls and graphics would definitely work on Switch!

Is there really a use for game specific Discord servers? I see it in every "How to market your game" tutorial but I use Discord mostly for voice chat with my friends. I see this for farming sims like Stardew Valley with a lot of content. But for small linear indie projects? #indiegames #gamedev

Got some great feedback from a play tester. They even found a demo bug 🙈 Thankfully it's already fixed in the full game. Night vision can be activated via RMB now and you will be able to scroll through cameras via mouse wheel. This is a great improvement for accessibility 💪 #FindThisPixelAnomaly
