Paradoxically, statistically speaking, October is a losing month for #horror #indiegame releases 🎮 But what about #Halloween? 🧛 Exactly! Players’ attention is focused on a few major releases, whilst the remaining 99% during this period will turn out to be flops #gamedev | #indiedev | #markiting ❤️

Wow, this is the first horror game of the day. Some scenes might look a bit cartoonish, but it seems the plot isn’t cartoonish at all hehe? 💀

#Indiedev posted a gameplay video in YT but didn't create a Steam page 👀 Video went viral, and four pages featuring clone games appeared on #Steam... Have you seen the videos from *Needle in a Haystack* yet? 5 million objects, with just one needle among them #GameDev & #IndieGame & #SoloDev ❤️

Incidentally, IO Interactive promoted the game on its own (just as it did with Hitman 3), emphasizing its creative independence from movie studios with love #gamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame | ❤️

Sandustry is now available in Early Access. 97% positive review. open-world survival crafting factory game ❤️ Have the expectations been met? #Gamedev | #indiegame | #indiedev | #pixelart

Vadim IndieHelp @indiehelp.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Releasing a demo version was the right decision; it's a great way to attract new players to the main game by giving them a positive experience in the demo. You on the right track - I hope everything works out for you :)

Trending concepts — one of the best forms of marketing 🚀 Job Sim — currently at the height of its popularity 👷‍♂️ COZY — gaining popularity but hasn’t gone mainstream yet✨ #screenshotsaturday | #indiedev | #gamedev | #indiegame What other genres do you consider to be trending for 2026? 👇

Vadim IndieHelp @indiehelp.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

The closer a #indiegame gets to its release date, the more new wishlists Personal Calendar can generate 🚀 To get the game into its pre-release window, set the release date in advance (not “TBD”). Spikes in wishlist additions (Next Fest, themed fest) help the calendar “notice” the game. #gamedev ❤️

Vadim IndieHelp @indiehelp.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

I hope the release exceeds all your expectations! 🚀

Vadim IndieHelp @indiehelp.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

It seems your decision was a wise one. That’s exactly why I write so often on my page about the importance of festivals for #indiedev. Thanks for your reply and for sharing your experience 😍

020

Vadim IndieHelp @indiehelp.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

You absolutely right ❤️ Every festival that fits the theme of your game has the potential to be special 🚀 It's impossible to predict exactly which ones will be a good fit, so it's a good idea to submit applications whenever you get the chance.

020

Vadim IndieHelp @indiehelp.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Those are good numbers 🚀 Over what period of time were you able to reach that number of wishlist items? What kind of marketing did you use?

Vadim IndieHelp @indiehelp.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Congratulations on the successful release ;) Great job! 🚀

So, Skyrim and Hollow Knight show #gamedev and #indiedev just how important it is to build a community around a game. The experience with these games demonstrates how a dedicated fanbase can continue to drive the game’s momentum even generations later 🚀

Oh, I hope the toy burger is always smiling :)

Vadim IndieHelp @indiehelp.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

You absolutely right. A lot of the responsibilities that indie developers take on weren't included here. But there just wouldn't have been room for them on paper, heh heh

110

Vadim IndieHelp @indiehelp.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Yeah, that's exactly right :) But that's the pain and tears of indie developers—when one person has to shoulder all the challenges and responsibilities 🎮

000

Vadim IndieHelp @indiehelp.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

It seems like everything looks perfect now :) It's true—for an indie developer, you can never have too many hats, heh heh. Judging by your comment, you really know your stuff, and you've spent many a late night working on games. Tell us more about always interesting to read about these things ❤️

110

Vadim IndieHelp @indiehelp.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Yes, it was worth it. A good result and you probably don’t plan to stop there. the most important thing is to find your player, which you did successfully. tell us more about it ❤️
