Just finished playing Satisfactory for the first time. I think for my next game I’m going to play Satisfactory. What an incredible crafting game.
Who needs a job when you have Satisfactory? This game is incredible.
The Steam Summer Sale is live. You could buy one of those now-$50 AAA games that laid off half its studio after release. Or you could get Scorefall at half off for $3.50. store.steampowered.com/app/3829550/...

This is why my prompts are things like “Be kind of an asshole to me and tell me why this idea sucks.”
"Never hallucinate or make anything up." yes, you can just demand that the LLM not make errors that's definitely how the technology works
Finally FINALLY playing #Subnautica for the first time. I know, I know. So far the hardest enemy in the game is that manual save button. It’s been kicking my ass.

Scorefall is currently sitting at 8 positive reviews and 1 negative. After the next review, regardless of preference, the game will officially show a “Positive” rating on the #Steam store page 🤯 store.steampowered.com/app/3829550/... #indiegamedev #gamedev
Well, I did a thing today... Scorefall has officially been released. What a journey it has been. And now it's time for a walk outside! store.steampowered.com/app/3829550/...
Doing a bit of a pivot in this new year... I help studios and companies validate game mechanics before committing to full production. Fast, playable, web-based prototypes that prove your idea works. Let me know what you think of the site re-design and if you want to start a convo. patt.games
It is incredibly gratifying to see people actually playing the Scorefall demo and getting comments like this on youtube videos made by strangers. Especially when the video and comments are in Russian. I guess I need to tackle localization next... #indiegamedev #gamedev

Hit a pretty big milestone for Scorefall today, the demo is now live on Steam! Next up is NextFest! #indiegamedev #gamedev #demo #Scorefall
NEW DEVLOG - Relics, Achievements and Visuals Oh My! pattgames.itch.io/scorefall/de... #indiegamedev #gamedev #Scorefall
After wayyy too long, I finally have enabled the Credits page. All of the incredible art was done by @cairn4.bsky.social creator of MewnBase. The music track was done by JPass, a childhood friend whose skill in everything music I was always super jealous of. pattgames.itch.io/scorefall/de...
Tons of visual updates to the game and Mac and Linux builds are now available for download. Check out the new lightning bucket effect, I'm pretty proud of that one. pattgames.itch.io/scorefall/de... #indiegamedev #gamedev #roguelite
Players now have the choice to enter the Relic Shop or choose an extra Upgrade every 5 rounds instead of being forced into the shop (which they might not have the cash for, and that felt bad). Also testing out Linux and Mac builds! #indiegamedev #gamedev pattgames.itch.io/scorefall/de...
Relics were kind of broken when quitting/continuing a run in progress and a few other bugs were fixed too. Very thankful for players that are finding and communicating these bugs! pattgames.itch.io/scorefall/de... #indiegamedev #gamedev #scorefall
Added Upgrade Info Popups, a frequently requested feature! #Scorefall is also still on sale until the end of the day! pattgames.itch.io/scorefall/de...

Already changed up the demo, I removed the Round Restriction so that you can play through all 50 rounds (and more), but still no Meta Upgrades or Challenges. Maybe that will be just the right amount of tease. Much testing to be done. Let me know what you think: pattgames.itch.io/scorefall

Working on a demo for #NextFest and trying to figure out what to restrict. My gut is telling me to disable Challenges, Meta Upgrades and limit the round you can reach to maybe 20 or 25 but maybe that’s too restrictive? Demo is up! pattgames.itch.io/scorefall #indiegamedev #gamedev #gamedemo

I've been making a whole lot of progress with Scorefall lately, but today... Today I spent hours of precious free time and mental energy trying to fix a bug that made the game unplayable and the solution was so, so simple that I am doubting everything. But tomorrow is a new day. #indiegamedev
