I surveyed 200 players and learned that most OSR games fall into two tiers of lethality - Meatgrinder and Picaresque. Table culture determines lethality more than system or campaign length. valerialoves.com/how-deadly-i...

Let me put it to you this way: If you refuse to pay more than 10 or 15 bucks for an indie game, there aren't going to be indie games for very long. Just keep that in mind next time you're browsing Steam.

hahah this is amazing. My game Save The World got rejected from iOS, because of some sexual screenshots and I can fix that, but also for the following "issue" This is why you can't have art in most modern gaming, except Steam. You can't have a clearly grotesque, sci-fi setting...

My game releases tomorrow. And now my focus turns towards talking to people (which are not many, I'm a nobody in this business) to hopefully get them to write a review within the first couple of hours. Also curious if the ~8400 wishlist count is enough to get into "popular upcoming". #gamedev #godot

Stop treating your Steam capsule like a movie poster. It’s a 1-second ad. If I can't tell your genre and vibe from a tiny thumbnail, you're losing 80% of your potential clicks. Drop your capsule below and I’ll guess your genre. #gamedev #indiegame #marketing

If I walk into the living room and there's a turd on the rug I'm not that interested in what the turd is made of, I spare no thought for the chemical composition of said turd, I just know I'm looking at a turd on the rug and I don't want it there.
