Little hotspot of demand over here. Arc raiders hype? #indiedev #gamedev
YES YES YES 😍
Last year I wrote about Undisputed and how few realistic boxing simulators there are on the PC market. Looking today & that gap in the market is still empty. Undisputed has received such negative reviews but there is just no real competition #gamedev #indiedev
I just love how creative people are with deckbuilders 🃏 #gamedev #indiedev
We got this little book about card games & I'm thinking of working through it and implementing each one in #godot as a nice little challenge to get me back into #gamedev
Fascinated by this little segment of #programming games. Would you/do you play games about programming? #gamedev #indiedev
Really interesting cluster of games emerging from the traditional #horrorgames segment. They're primarily psychological/survival horrors but w/ strong emphasis on atmospheric immersion and narrative exploration. Notable games here: Yami Mura, Plague Doctor, Novarith, Dithered #gamedev #indiedev
