Apparently I'm a masochist because I *will* be streaming more Polyarmory on Twitch tomorrow. 😔

Polyarmory is a hostile play environment and I feel personally attacked. Ten thumbs up. No, those aren't all mine. Don't worry about it.

found this in my notes, good advice for aspiring devs

Rules for Game Dev
1. The gamer is always gamer
2. Games aren't finished, only completed
3. Always keep at least one infinite loop in your game to trap malevolent spirits
4. Don't code the small stuff (it's all stuff)
5. Respect the seven axes of player motivation
6. A bad game is bad forever, but a broken game is right twice a day
7. It's not about who you know, it's about knowing who
8. Disregard the eighth axis of player motivation
9. You couldn't make Super Mario today. Try again tomorrow.
10. The game developer with the most victory points at the end is the winner
11. Do not acknowledge the howling skull

Watching @katbatmadethat.bsky.social play @polyarmorygame.bsky.social and there are so many quotes I suspect we'd proudly put on the back of the box.

There's something very satisfying to seeing someone stream your game from start to end and they vibe with the concept.

Watching these streams confirms to me that the cactus fucking and poop minigames were in fact integral to the vision of @polyarmorygame.bsky.social

I think our game is too hot for the UK Government?

@polyarmorygame.bsky.social is an excellent use of a VPN

If you enjoyed a game on Itch, leave a comment!

Honestly, it really brightens a creator's day. And it's a big encouragement for others who may be interested in getting that game.

Itch hides reviews from the game page, so I find comments more useful in the long run.

Can't overstate this! It feels wonderful to know that someone had a good time with your game. It's not just that they appreciate your work. Someone's day, maybe a day with their friends, got better because of something you put into the world. It's a special feeling.
