Yeah that actually sucks... Honestly, if you are able, I would just wait. I truly believe we are in an AI bubble and the demand will collapse. just like it did for fibre optic in the early 2000's.
Doesn't mean AI is going away, but the pace at which everything is advancing will probably slow.
IMO

Super stoked about the windows 95 themed website that I created for Vinciware.com!

Been diving deep into the indie web lately, and honestly… this feels like the future.
Owning your space, building weird/cool things, and keeping the web personal again.

That's rough dude. I have my fingers crossed that supply increases soon and prices go back down. At minimum... i pray they go down in 5-7 years when I have to replace my hard drives 😂

Hope you find a solution! maybe you can find a deal on ebay or something?

yep... all so we can make realistic videos of will smith eating spaghetti #worthit

I am so glad that I built my NAS before the memory/storage price increases.

The best way to make a great game is to play great games — so I’ve started a new blog category for reviews of the games I’m playing. 🎮

It’s a tool for me to look back on. Maybe it’ll be useful or to you too!😁

My friend @peteplaysthegames.bsky.social helped playtest Cosmic Castaway and put together this extremely entertaining playthrough video!
I know I am biased, but I think he is such an entertaining Youtuber! 😁

Thanks for playtesting dude! I genuinely enjoyed watching your playthrough. Sorry the tutorial didn’t work out. I’ll be able to fix a bunch of bugs thanks to you 😁🫵🥇

What I learned my Steam playtest:
Cosmic Castaway has strong ideas—but I jumped the gun on full development.
I should’ve nailed the core gameplay loop first.
Back to prototyping internally for a much stronger version.

Huge thanks to everyone who joined the playtest!😁

#indiegame #Gamedev

awesome job, dude! 😁

Check out the new Graveyard! Working on some final touches and then I will have the Playtest updated to include this Halloween level!🎃
#indiegame #Gamedev

Halloween is my absolute favorite! When October rolled around I jumped at the thought of making themed levels for Cosmic Castaway.🎃👻
I'll be updating the playtest with one of these themed levels this week!
Let me know what you think! 😁

#indiegame #Gamedev

Obligatory #ScreenshotSaturday post!
Tweaked the level select flow based on your feedback - faster, cleaner, and way less confusing.

Honestly, I kind of liked it before I fixed it 😂
Working on something spooky! 🎃👻

Playtest Update #2 🚀
Over 140 of you have signed up to playtest Cosmic Castaway! It's a surreal feeling knowing people are playing my creation (even in its current buggy state).

Based on your feedback... I fixed the bridges! 🌉

Playtest Update #1 🚀
Huge thanks to everyone who completed the Playtest Survey!
One of the top requests was clearer tutorials—so I just pushed a patch with improvements.
Steam should now let you update the build 😁🎮

The Cosmic Castaway game loop?
Crash -> build -> Survive -> Gather your crew -> escape -> repeat!
Wishlist on #Steam today! 😁🚀

I was just joking about that 😂

I was just joking with my wife “do I fix it? Or is it a feature??” 😂

Guys... I think I found a bug...😂

#indiegame #pcgaming #Gamedev #Solodev #steam #unity3d

Working on the strategic elements of Cosmic Castaway today! 😁

#indiegame #Gamedev #Solodev #strategyGame #pcgaming #steam #unity3d

Thank you! 😁
There’s tower defence mechanics but I describe it as a mix between catan and pikmin!

Hey, thank you very much! 😁

I really feel like 2025 will be the year I release my first game! I've been doing some internal playtest's this last week. Once I get through those bugs I'll open it up on steam 😁🎮
