Mr #PitchYaGame

If I can give y'all one big tip after a lifetime in games. Make games you find undeniably fun, and can pour your heart & soul into.

Makes game development so much easier, especially with how long games take to make!! 😅

.. thought it was also high time I showed up! 😶

Oh!Ware is a spiritual Mancala roguelike where every marble shapes the board and fate. Every pit is a choice and every marble, a desperate prayer.

A lot of love going into it, with some fun little ode's to some inspirations / classics.

TLDR: The bigger the comparison(s) the greater the expectation(s).

Pitching:
Using "X x Y x Z" you are directly comparing to those games.

Using "Like X and Y" you are directly referencing those games.

Using "Inspired by X and Y" you are nodding to those games as inspiration.

The way you pitch matters because.. it.. sets.. expectations. 🧐

The scene depicts the two characters giving each other a high-five, with the text "TEAM WORK" displayed below the image. The show is produced by Nickelodeon, indicated by the "nick" logo in the top right corner.

Ahead of #TeaseYaGame on the 6th,

I would love for everyone to really get behind and involved with TYG (& PYG); check out, engage the games being teased. Share the movement with your communities / peers.

All help is super appreciated.

It means the absolute world to us dev's. 😊

#TeaseYaGame is back, in 4 days. 👀

It often feels so conflicting to continue working in the video games space during times like these; a game of Trivial Pursuit.

Remember though, video games (& media) offer billions of people across the globe, worlds in which they can escape; solace.

They are needed. War isn't.

7.7 days until #TeaseYaGame! 😌

Please, also, if you're covering the demos in any capacity, don't just look at the top demos / trending. 🫡

I'll be sat over here sulking, as I try to navigate the clunky ui, expecting "at least" 3400 replies. 🤫😶

Breaking: #SteamNextFest is here! 🥳

3400 games... now, tell me, why is there no advanced search "filter" for Next Fest? 😤🧐

Same goes for working in games.

So many years of being met with..

"Need X years experience."
"Must have shipped X titles."

Even with a lifetime of playing, and making video games in some capacity or other.

We need more people being given their chance to shine if anything.

If you love playing games, don't let anyone ever tell you you can't.

If you love making games, don't let anyone ever tell you you can't.

If you're "interested" in making games, don't let anyone ever tell you you can't or aren't allowed.

Anyone. Any age. Any experience level 😤

If you can press the button and I can press the button who is going to buy games when they can also press the button.

Damn that's deep. Took me a while to process. So, so true.

I would sooner quit making games than press a button to have one made for me. 😤

15 days until #TeaseYaGame 😌👌

Zoom out on video games as an ecosystem for a second.

Crazy to think there's millions (possibly even billions?) worldwide, playing, involved in OR involved with video games (in whatever capacity) right now.

From a kid growing up in awe, to now. Still blows my mind. 🤯
