Howdy!

Follow for political cold takes and intermittent game updates

Unfollow for strife and ill tidings

Follow at a distance to see where that mysterious hooded figures goes to at 4PM

You could also reset its position when the player hasn’t moved for awhile, but that might be disorienting

Most of these don’t surprise me. Teamspeak is hilarious though

Despite containing a world of assets, .res is TXT

.pck? Zip

At the end of it all you are left with a single take. A scream into the void. Heard by some, then scattered into the wind.

Your essence distilled into an atomic unit of media. Of content. Your self poured into these 15 takes, then sliced away to end with a pure totem

I put the “I hate backend engineering” in game dev

I like the hivesteel glint

They say perfect is the enemy of finishing your backend

I hate Postgres but I hate most other databases more

Glorious

You could probably mould a whole suit of plate armor over a costume with this. Though I imagine it’d be relatively fragile

I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of your posts and fully understood what’s going on

Happy 2nd anniversary to the Steam Dev Cheat Sheet 🥂

LMK if any info is out of date! Good luck with your game 🎮

#indiegamedev

STEAM DEV CHEAT SHEET
Quick access to a collection of best practices & magic formulas:

STEAM CAPSULE
(Your Game)
The single most IMPORTANT element since it's seen the most
Clear
Readable
Game name
Genre
Hook(s)
Hire on artist!

THE DISCOVERY ALGORITHM
Get 7,000+ wishlists before launch
Get 10+ reviews ASAP (positive or negative, just need 10)
The only punishing review status is OVERWHELMINGLY NEGATIVE (the rest are neutral for traffic)

WISHLISTS
About 15% of wishlists convert in the first week.
ALL wishlisters are emailed at launch.
Discount 20%+ to email wishlisters after launch.

SALES ESTIMATES FROM REVIEWS
One review represents about 20-55 soles.
It's the New Boxleiter Number! ~30 is good
So 100 reviews = about 3,000 copies sold.

TRAILER
(Viewers skip through trailers)
Start strong
Omit intro logos
Direct to gameplay
60 seconds or less
End with ONE CTA: Wishlist it or buy it

Every day I get further tempted to destroy all traces of my digital existence and move to a log cabin in the mountains

DungenRobot (he/him) @dungenrobot.com · 4d

I’m finally free. No more Silksong. I can pursue life and all its joys

It does this to me as well. I think it’s some sort of pastry curse

If you need slop it’s great at making it. If you have a task where you have any bar for quality then it’s a terrible tool

Their pfp is very telling for the types of female content they enjoy

DungenRobot (he/him) @dungenrobot.com · 6d

It’s a super cool experience

DungenRobot (he/him) @dungenrobot.com · 7d

Dishonored has a bad opening I think.

Uses women and girls as props in a story where the motions are directed by men. Their kidnapping and death is used as motivation for the main character.

Tutorialization relies on a ton of text pop ups

Starts you off with zero player autonomy
