This guy has been working on his game for 10 years and scrapped it at least 4 times. I played every version of it and they all were fun. GTTOD is a fun #indiegame and you should check it out. If you are a #indiegamedev, I think you can relate to this devlog: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPVe...

I was really sceptical - as I am mostly with sequels - but #TheTalosPrinciple2 is really an awesome game! Not only great puzzles but a great story too, challenging the player with philosophical questions about life. I can absolutely recommend this game!

Just played the Demo of the upcoming #indiegame Particulitix and had a great time. Looking forward to buying the full game in June! It has a really unique style that I love and some clever ideas. Go check out the Demo on #steam to support an awesome #solodev #indiegames #gamedev

PSA: When you share links, you can usually remove everything after the ? and the link still works. It’s just tracking noise and makes the link shorter and cleaner. Data analysts hate this simple trick ;) #gamedev #indiegamedev #solodev

If you like Tower Defense games, give Outhold a try. The demo is available on #steam and I had a blast with it. Love the minimalist style and the upgrade system that lets you try different builds while leveling up. store.steampowered.com/app/3781820/... #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegames

Outhold Demo on Steam

Outhold is a short, strategic incremental game that blends tower defense with a deep meta-progression. Experiment with builds and find overpowered synergies to defend the dwindling fires of Outhold.

My social media strategy is as easy as 1, 2, 3. Every 1 time I want to post something controversial to spark discussion, I think about it for 2 seconds, find 3 counterarguments… and just delete it. #gamedev #podcast #indiegames #solodev

AAA game: gets abandoned weeks after launch. #indiegame: gets released 2022 and still gets MAJOR updates. Dome Keeper by @bippinbits.bsky.social is a wonderful game and I can't recommend it enough. There's no better time to try it since you can soon play it with friends. #gamedev #indiegamedev

Give PinKeep a try. I just played the demo and had a great time. The controls take a few minutes to learn, but stick with it and you will find a unique blend of pinball and deckbuilding that is very fun to play already. The demo is available on #steam #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame
