You are correct, most kickstarters are marketing, especially if the goal is low. Its of more marketing value to set a low goal, have kickstarter and media outlets start circling "this game was funded in 3 days" than a game that barely makes it.

Depending on the game, it can just be one person on it, though bigger projects use Kickstarter to drum up interest to a publisher.

3D study again :D I decided to model an object from one of my own games.

I'm sorry I have played this game and known this game for over 30 years and did not know this was a thing! This actually scared me. To my knowledge, no enemies in the entire of SF1/2 and CD jump out of chests like this besides this single instance.

Recently did a romhack for Shining Force 2 which I threw up on romhacking dot net. www.romhacking.net/hacks/9461/ I swapped Bowie for Utena and Princess Elis for Anthy, that's it. Hopefully that's the end to my RGU gremlin phase (Been obsessed with it for just over 2 months since I saw it.)

This game was quite frankly insane in the best way.

And that's a wrap! Thank you for coming and making my day awesome. You made me not regret doing this. Despite not being a social person IRL, this event brought out something in me I usually keep online. #gamedev #indiedev

Fantastic game, really gave the vibes I had with Myst and Riven, with the horror aspect slightly dialed up.

Working on the details of the natural pillars in this map so far. I think it's getting there. With all the shaders I think this will be a fairly decent underwater map. #rpgmaker #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I'll be stopping by @vgeevents.bsky.social Nottingham‬ for the first time later this month. It's too soon to have my own indie space, and I want to familiarize myself with the environment, but I shouldn't be hard to find. Just look for my Crestlich companion and say hi!

I was going to wait until this morning to buy a fan but I crawled to The Range in burning 31 degree weather at 17:30 because my frail body couldn't take it anymore. If only we could sit patiently in the sea like the big kaiju.

In need of positive vibes. I know this is a selfish ask, but if you could send anything my way this morning, I'd appreciate it. I've been trying to stuff down my internal stuff as much as I can the past few weeks, but it has been unimaginably difficult.
