Gunlocked 2 Dev Diary: Kickstarting Something Better feature When good enough isnโ€™t good enough. Why a typically self-funded indie developer decided to try crowd-funding, and what it means for Gunlocked 2.

New dev diary for Gunlocked 2. www.indiedb.com/games/gunloc... I've been sharing posts about why I'm choosing to do a #Kickstarter, but I really wanted to expand on that long-form. There are costs to the decisions we make as gamedevs, both obvious and hidden. #indiegame #gamedev #devlog

Congratulations, that's way better than my simple games with non-stunning art. Maybe it has something to do with your art and game itself being interesting?

Update: asking people to wishlist my game continues to be the best way to get people to wishlist my game.

Also, we're over 500 outstanding wishlists, which isn't bad for an early in the process game with no real trailer and not much done art wise.

Many thanks to @ericbomb.bsky.social and @nightblade.bsky.social for running this. I'm not sure when but making a game for blind gamers became a bucket list item for me. Now I've had a golden opportunity and everyone who reviewed #ZeroState gave me ideas for how to make something more complete

Work was really stressful this Week, which wore down on my motivation to work on "Realm Fight"...๐Ÿ˜’
But I managed to finish the new UI Implementation. Also changed the Compendium a bit, so it's not too overwhelming and clustered.๐Ÿค”
What do ya'll think?

Hellish Darkness-Reignited by Arkhadom Dev A survival roguelike where you're stuck in a forest and need to survive using powerups and weapons.

I feel like the game doesn't look too fun...
Can I get some feedback?

Definitely retro, in a 90s-ish kinda way I think? Or something from my past.

Dunno if it's on purpose, but the ship looks like it's frowning at you and it looks pretty angry ๐Ÿ˜…

Finally got ladders and scene transitions working for Jack! So far he's been very bad at following directions, but now he can officially move from room to room, which is cool because the game would have sucked if he couldn't do that! Happy Saturday!

Working on a new project to help players discover more indie games!

It's super early, but here's a screenshot of the back-end stats: I scraped 500 games (0.26% of Steam's almost-total list) and pulled 43k reviews. This took ~4 hours.

Probably, yeah. Though if I couldn't figure out why, that might be frustrating/annoying.
