@liamflannery.bsky.social Hi Liam, fellow game dev here
Congrats on the Steam Page, Factory 95 looks great 🎉
I'm working on a game with a similar vibe and curious bout your icons. Did you create them yourself, are they actual Win95 icons? Appreciate it if you'd share your approache 😇
All the best ❤️

Equal parts of a stupid grin on my face throughout. That final discussion before the big monologue 🥹

Ich will nicht mit deinem Support-Bot sprechen, dein Support-Bot kann mir nie helfen, das macht mich wütend & den Support-Bot vermutlich traurig, weil er wohl die absolute Sinnlosigkeit seines Daseins erkennt. Wie oft erträgt er ein NEIN, wenn er fragt, ob mich seine Antwort zufrieden gestellt hat?

I have not when it was a subscription. I have often wished for the posibility to only pay for a single article instead of a subscription. A "pay per read" so to speak.

Jakob Raith @doingitraith.net · Aug 26

It's definitely a danger. Scoping the design for myself and only myself was the a must from the get-go. Guess I'm lucky that apart from wanting to doing it right, I also want to *really* get it done and make progress. I can't wait to have something to show for and that keeps me from feature creeping

Jakob Raith @doingitraith.net · Aug 26

Pitching to publishers? - Nah get it where it needs to be first.
It may take longer but I also have the freedom to make plans, use being forced into a longer timeline for a more measured approach.
Take a run-up and when I have my trailer and my demo raedy, I'll soar

The big one is of course that my financial wellbeing is not dependent on this being a success.
And that means, I *can* take my time with getting this right!
Demo out this year? Nope - I'll only show some screenshots to friends and colleagues.

🧵
It's definitely challenging to work on a game next to a full-time job. Finding time to work on it while also living a private life is a constant weighing of priorities.
I'm trying to see the upsides as well though.
