Good morning, indie devs! 👋 What do you think about the recent Steam changes? Bad news for indie games, or an opportunity for smaller devs? Curious how other indie devs see it. #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev

Hi guys, I have made a marketing tool indiemarketspy.com to help indie devs see which steam tags are winning before deciding what game to make. I was making it for myself but overtime I have decided to make it a real product! #gamedev #indiedevs #marketing #indiegamedev #indiegame #gamedesign

Yes, most devs struggle with that. But ignoring the market is never a wise decision. We as devs need to find something that is somewhat promising marketwise and that we enjoy. That is the sweet spot!

I’m a solo dev making Backpack Guardian. Just added a new dangerous event: The Stranger in the Dark. Do you take the coins, approach the lantern, or rob the stranger? Wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3446060/... #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev #roguelite #Steam #screenshotsaturday

no, I have decided to not go down that path. You put items directly in your backpack and expand it once you level up.

Hey, sorry that part is still missing from the stuff that I have posted. I am working towards a trailer that can show the whole gameplay loop. But basically you have a limited grid inventory where you position items from your storage. With the equipped items and spell you fight your enemies.
