Sounds like my week except I wanted to do our Beta on Monday 🙃
I thought maybe I'll add 30 new items. We're up to 45...

Thanks for sharing the Dungeon Experience!
We will do our best to help fill the surrealist comedy void.
I kept a box of these just in case!
Thank you!
The pros and cons of indie gamedev
I come bearing SENSITIVE INFORMATION including our past #SteamNextFest numbers
Share if you appreciate graphs

Yes indeed! Was funny seeing that tweet in your docs at Bitsummit 🤣
Pre-existing synergy ⚡️
You’re welcome! Thanks for sharing
With a good looking icycle from Frosty!
Half my recommendation queue is gamblingslop now.
I now understand how Traditional Roguelike enthusiasts feel.
These numbers are from the last Next Fest, but I'm seeing similar results from this. There's a lot of games!
Wait are you saying I can make money from this?
Haha but seriously, thanks for the appreciation.
It feels like a worthwhile use of my time when people engage with it. When I post and get zero response I just purge it and return to the dev cave 🤣
For anyone disheartened by their #SteamNextFest traction, our own marketing for other events surpassed the Next Fest traction in almost every instance.
Also thank you for the extra PR assist Blessing Show, @piratepr.com, Neon Noroshi and so many others, including event organisers who supported us ❤️

Name a more iconic duo than The Dungeon Experience and @devolverdigital.com - we'll wait.

Aw thanks for the shoutout, Karrie! 🙏
Always happy to discuss Winnie’s Hole and just generally meet folks in the industry!
Will be around Melb and games week.

Just learned about the game Bad Rats, which has apparently become a meme Steam gift?
Launched in 2009, started blowing up 4 years later.
I need to know more...
Mmm interesting, sounds like moments of insight help. Subconscious processing… 🤔 Maybe there’s some universal truth in returning to a task after taking space and being surprisingly better at it.
And yes! A good reminder to watch more GDC talks 😄
Surprise - our demonic deckbuilder Malys is available in Early Access - right now! 🙌
Hell hath no fury like a long wait. We're eager for your thoughts and feedback, so we decided to anoint you a little early!
It's time to UNLEASH HELL! 🔥

All for rejecting formality.
How/where did you find guidance to improve your craft?
Or get unstuck if there was something you couldn't figure out in your writing?
Making a game:
After 2 months of work, the Clair Obscur Expedition 33 video is here. I interviewed most of the game's senior leadership team asking one simple question: how did you do this? Their answers were inspiring and moving, and it's no surprise that COE33 is as remarkable as it is: youtu.be/mXLOLgC2V2Q?...
Mmmm tough situation.
The pricing issue isn’t something I’d considered before, that’s a very good point… would probably get backlash from funders if devalued.
Oh what was the downside of Kickstarter for you? I thought the general consensus was it can be good for a marketing beat?
Though seems less reliable for actual fundraising in recent years.
Yea it's ever more important for indies to subsidise marketing with design...
Yojimbo from Final Fantasy X stands proud and stoic with his companion dog Daigoro. We see them from a low angle, and see the blue sky with a moon still visible. Lavendar coloured petals fall from the sky, and mixed in with coins (gil). Yojimbo prepares to draw his famous blade, poised to strike.
It's finally (fantasy) out! 🌵⚔️✨🐤
My work for Summon: Yojimbo is out, found in the Counter Blitz commander deck for #MTGxFINALFANTASY! I had so much fun with this merc-for-hire, and I hope y'all do too! 💰🪙

Stunning! 💪
Yea it's harder for sure 😞
Interesting case study being such a visually polished game. I feel like 5ish years ago pubs were devouring games like this?
I wonder if we're in a Post-'Viral Gif Era' where publishers have also been burnt by many viral gif games releasing with low conversion rate.
Uhhh YES!
These are incredible. Great colour and composition skills 👑
