Again, quick update on Mars Incremental development for @pixelhound.bsky.social. Aside from some marketing stuff, added a small QoL feature so that the player knows that he is in the 'view only mode' of buying perks. Game is already available for wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/4179880/...

The best order of operations for any mid-scope indie game that requires funding is: - Build it quickly & quietly assuming you'll self-publish - Pitch to everyone - If unsuccessful, put out a store page & start marketing - If successful, publishers will come back to you - If not, continue as-is

Last hours to get the Black Friday deal on Pitching and Funding by Jason Della Roca. Got it yesterday and can't recommend it enough if you are looking for publishers. A bit salty for Brazillians, but super worth it.

Empreender é uma parada puxada. A insegurança bate sempre, “será que esse é o melhor caminho mesmo?”. Nesses ~10 anos empreendendo, sempre tive que lidar com essa insegurança, acho que faz parte. Ela vem sempre de um lugar de ansiedade (que meu cérebro quer justificar com “precaução” rs )+

I know this is how the game is played on corp level, but come on! They had it all, screwed it up, then comes someone and do it “right” and now they are like “Bo ho, you can’t do that to us…”. Just do your job right and avoid having to sue everyone because they are doing a better job with your IP.

They had it all and didn’t deliver 🫠 And then, comes Palworld and did it all right, for the right audience - which tbh was a pretty mediocre game if you break it down at launch, but the world wanted it so much that it just exploded. And then, Nintendo goes after them +

They had figured out so many of the issues that could arise from having an open world Pokémon game (which is clearly what Palworld used as basis - the alphas, exploration , etc), then Nintendo/Gamfreak came and did the technical shitstorm that was Scarlet/Violet. +

I honestly think people should use more assets from the store. As much as have a unique art style/assets is great, cost efficiency is super important. Learning to balance between store assets and creating your own is definitely a skill by itself

Hi, I've been an indie dev for 20 years and shipped 15 games. Here's a GDC talk I did in 2016 that was quite popular. It was about indie sustainability and I'm still here, so that's good :-) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jmwb...

Sad that monopoly is a thing =( Altough, one could argue it makes things simpler for indie devs? 🤔 I mean, you did mention that you ended up having to deal with incomes from multiple different places. It does feel that people can "focus on doing their game" now. Still, hope other stores grow.

It makes sense, EA is definitely known for being a trend chaser lol But I also think they have a component of trying to go to a broader audience (hence the art style distancing itself from DA:O each iteration), so I'm honestly not sure where the direction might go on the writing. Hope you are right!

Miguel Doherty 🏳️‍🌈🇧🇷 @migueljdoherty.bsky.social · 08/11/2024
But overall, I love the direction the franchise is going, but in a post witcher 3 world, they need to get the writing and duality of moral things right if they want to succeed properly.
