Most indie games fail—not because they’re bad, but because no one knows they exist. 3 quick ways to get more eyes on your game: 👀 Be active in gaming communities 🎥 Post short-form video 📣 Get others talking: run a giveaway or collab #IndieGameDev #GameMarketing #IndieDev

Launching a Kickstarter in 2025? Here’s what no one tells you: 1️⃣ Wishlists don’t equal backers. 2️⃣ Your campaign video matters more than you think. 3️⃣ Engagement > Ads. Kickstarter is about community, not just funding. Got questions? We wanna hear them.

There's something called technical design document (TDD) that most devs may never see or need. This is a short article about that kind of document to have an idea of what is it about. dlorenzolaguno17.github.io/TDD/ #GameDev

HOT TAKE: You don't need a huge ad budget; you need a personality. Players connect with stories, humor, and authenticity—not polished corporate vibes. Spend less time chasing algorithms and more time building a voice that feels human. The community you grow is your best marketing asset. #gamedev

Web3 Gaming: Revolution or Hype? Web3 can empower players with asset ownership, governance, and real-world value—but trust is key. Studios must prioritize transparency, educate players, and build community. It’s about enhancing, not exploiting. Questions? Let’s chat. #gamedev #indiegamedev

Finally taking some time to go through this Corvian Marketing template. As a dev with no marketing background, it helps me realize what I don’t know. I thought “target audience” just meant “people who like games like BedWars.” The channels and strategies section helped break it down. xkcd.com/2501/

When it comes to videogames— Buying day 1 👍🏻 Waiting for a sale 👍🏻 Voting w/ your wallet for a company 👍🏻 Not buying at all 👍🏻 Gameplay videos 👍🏻 Scores 👍🏻 Not caring about scores 👍🏻 Never let someone else decide for you. Make your own decisions. You choose for yourself & what works best for you.

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong

Fun fact: Did you know Eric Barone of Stardew Valley created a hugely successful indie game on a virtually 0$ budget? All he did was create a website, and chat about his game on some forums...

The atmosphere of my game. A game that releases tomorrow. A game I spent the last 1.5 years making on the side of my AAA job. A game I've put so much love, passion and dedication into. To deliver you a unique moment that will hopefully leave you with something.

Seeing more and more indie game kickstarters not being able to hit their goals and it’s such a shame. Yet another example to show people don’t have as much money in their pocket. Support indie games folks, they’re often the ones that create something new you’ll love.

Todays spicy 🌶️ #ttrpg take is that, despite what you might think, these three things are not the same: 1) Your game is well written. 2) Your game is easy to sell. 3) Your game plays well at the table. There’s some overlap for sure. But the world is full of badly written games that people love.
