Reworked the farming system in Arc today! Don't mind the little guy who died mid-recording. He's just resting in the fields. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #godot

5 mails later and I still don't know why I didn't receive any #Steam payout yet. They can't give me any infos because I changed my mail domain. Okay fair point - I updated my account mail address, resubmitted the tax information. But they still refuse. This is so exhausting 😪 #gamedev #indiedev

Thank you! I would have never guessed it to be found under "Store -> browse" 😂 I activated in-app push notifications. Let's see if this works out 🤞

Interesting, I can't find these settings anywhere. Is this in the app / steam client or website?

Maybe I'm just too stupid... 🤔 But is there any way - as a gamedev - to get notified about new discussions on your own Steam store page? I already clicked "Subscribe to Forum" but I don't get any mails or steam app notifications on my phone whenever someone starts a new thread. #steam #gamedev

Congratz on the demo! 🎉 The trailer looks soo smooth. But tbh I don't get any idea of the rules 🙈 (Where do I have to put my dice to get combos & the "Woof"s?). Couldn't find them on the store page either. I bet it's explained in the game itself, but maybe put some of the basic rules in the video?

What's your favorite anomaly on the MUSEUM map in Find This Pixel Anomaly? Mine is the Mona Lisa portrait with horns 😈 A discreet and funny image anomaly. #cozyhorror #indiegames #FindThisPixelAnomaly
Screenshot of the game "Find This Pixel Anomaly" at the museum map. You can see an art gallery in pixelart. A portrait of the Mona Lisa is encircled to highlight the spot. But she has some devil horns on top of her head.

After the game is before the game...I started a new little prototype. It's a shop simulation where you play as a crow, selling all the shiny stuff like branches, stones, bottle caps ✨ I started implementing an inventory system, picking up items and notifications. #gamedev #indiegames #cozy

Fellow Godot gamedevs, I need help with exporting my game in Linux for Steam 🥺 The game crashes without any logs but when I use Proton experimental (or any other Proton it seems) it works just fine. Any ideas? #gamedev #godotengine #indiedevs

I completely agree with you. However, I only know of servers where self-promotion isn't allowed, unless it's a server exclusively for DEVs. Do you have any tips on where to find such servers you described? My game's genre ist somewhere between horror and cozy 😂 (dark atmosphere hidden object)

Nick @nickhatboecker.de · 03/03/2026
Is there really a use for game specific Discord servers? I see it in every "How to market your game" tutorial but I use Discord mostly for voice chat with my friends. I see this for farming sims like Stardew Valley with a lot of content. But for small linear indie projects? #indiegames #gamedev

Got >100 new wishlist entries since Steam Next Fest 🥹 I know it's not a lot but for solo indie developer me - it means a lot! I really can't wait for the full release. Maybe with some reviews after full release more people will see and play it 🤞 #FindThisPixelAnomaly #SteamNextFest #indiegames

Find This Pixel Anomaly is part of Steam Next Fest and we're so close to the final release 😱 Can you spot every anomaly in this dark hidden object game before the clock runs out? Wishlist and play the demo: store.steampowered.com/app/3290400/... 🕑 One successful run takes approx. 18 minutes.

Got some great feedback from a play tester. They even found a demo bug 🙈 Thankfully it's already fixed in the full game. Night vision can be activated via RMB now and you will be able to scroll through cameras via mouse wheel. This is a great improvement for accessibility 💪 #FindThisPixelAnomaly

Sieht schon richtig gut aus! 💪 Falls du offen für Feedback bist: Ich persönlich konnte dem angehangenen Video nur schwer folgen, weil man den Map-Bildschirm - um den es ja eigentlich geht - nur so kurz sieht. Vielleicht lässt du in zukünftigen Videos ein bisschen mehr Zeit dafür frei.

Unfortunately I lost several weeks of development due to the loss of a family member. With Christmas just around the corner I have decided to postpone #FindThisPixelAnomaly until early 2026. I hope you understand 💔
