Haha very funny steam, we didn't just get 9000 wishlists in a day...

I think it somehow is pulling info in from another game that we're bundled to but IDRK 🤷‍♂️

Bloody wish though

A Dwarf, Tyrant and Pegasus walk into a bar...

I'm sure you have better ideas of how to utilize the bonking dwarf?

#indiegame

My own, cloud pricing is a bit steep... at least for me

Threw it onto a fairly cheap digital ocean droplet. Only big thing is can't be cheapest since needs some additional ram otherwise server goes down after like 16 hrs of running

I originally used it for my chess multiplayer, and it was pretty straightforward to setup/use/extend

I have since moved away but that's because I went to p2p and steam matching for evergreen and not running a server

Nakama is pretty easy to setup and work with 😊

They might be CC0 but everyone gets logged and will always be credited

#gamedev #indiegame

The Tyrant, as nimble as a queen but will chain close units down preventing them from moving/capturing...

Perhaps it is a little overpowered...

#gamedev #inidegame #indie #chessvariant

Might be adding something a little OP 🫢

Yaknow sometimes stats for small creatives can be disheartening

But if you look at it as percentages it can seem a lot more hopeful,
an extra 5 Wishlist's for a game with 50...

well 5 isn't that many but it is an increase of 10% which is pretty huge!

#gamedev

I'm cooked if I don't go first

#indiegame #indiedev

Did I do it right, is this the build to rule all builds?

#indiegame

Got labelled spam again on X, right after complaining about how the algorithm works o.O

Someone said I should've add a burn effect to piece under dragon fire

How many hats does a game developer wear?

There's a few games being highlighted on NextUpGames, why not check them out.

Can you spot when the demo released?

Good luck for Nextfest!!

That's a fair strategy

I went through a rollercoaster of thinking my GPU was borked and would have to buy a new one. Once I got it working again losing the work didn't seem so bad then.
