So, was doing a dive into game stores for the eventual publishing and distribution of P.O.D.E. I know for a FACT I will not be using Steam, as it's dirty and underhanded practices against developers and customers are icky to me... But should I use Epic Games Store? Thoughts?

Game Development social media for SherbertThePode's indie game, P.O.D.E. P.O.D.E. is a small, Tamagotchi-style game about raising small creatures called P.O.D.E.s, (aka, Portable Orbs of Delight and Excitement) to restore the reef.
Today's zero-context screenshot of a very specific mechanic I'm trying out in P.O.D.E.
I got a save and load system working!!! So freaking happy! A lot of the time spent working on it was doing troubleshooting... turns out it was a simple spelling error, lol
Here is the current progress of how the game look has evolved so far!~ I start out with a small sketch on my phone, just enough to get a rough idea of the concept I want, and then I refine it through Krita, and eventually implement an even more refined version in Godot!
