My wife prepared me a 100% homemade breakfast this morning to celebrate the release of the new game. Now you see why I make so many releases ! 😁 #indiedev #foodporn #vegan

I already did first small update (itchio and Steam). The relationship screen GUI was all messed up, like in this screenshot 😂. Probably while switching Ren'Py versions (I started this game over a year ago, and this screen was one of the first things I coded) #indiedev #gamedev

I just woke up and of course first time I did was checking my new game sales.
I am pleased 😁still no reviews, but it's a very long game, and most of my fans got it from KS so probably don't care to leave a review on Steam?
Anyway check it out:

my new game is now out on Steam too: store.steampowered.com/app/617990/T...
remember that by default the game has suggestive content: off, so it's safe to stream, but if you want to see... "everything", simply enable it in the options screen! 😘#indiedev #gamedev

well so far after about 6-7h it's doing better than I thought (comparing to my last few releases on Steam). If keeps going like this I might met my small launch week goal! thanks to everyone buying it, you're the best 🥰

ugh it got way worse recently then !

Winterwolves Games @winterwolves.bsky.social · 22h

wait I did that, and they rejected it :D
There wasn't any toggle in the version I submitted, it was just censored, with ZERO nudity.
The thing that triggered it "maybe" was some BDSM scenes (still fully dressed).

my new game releases tomorrow: store.steampowered.com/app/617990/T...
you can play it as visual novel, or experience the full townsim+roguelike missions+turnbased RPG combat #indiedev #gamedev
p.s. for some reason it is in adult only category, but by default is censored and safe to play

yeah I meant "not already super-famous" indies :P

as said I don't really follow much the scene (no time, I have a life!) but my impression is that all the major recent successes (talking about >25k units sold) 100% were through the use of a publisher.
Nothing wrong with that of course, just wondering !

I'm honestly out of the loop on mainstream indie gaming. I'm a hermit just making the games I like, hoping enough people buy them. 😇
Recently, browsing Steam, a thought came to mind: has there been an indie hit this year that WASN'T published by a bigger company? 🤔#indiedev

I guess depends on which games you play usually ? or maybe because the game is adult-only category

some background sketches for a new game... I actually got those last year but decided to post them only now, since I might start working on this maybe next year... #indiedev #gamedev

Steam has released a new calendar thingy: store.steampowered.com/personalcale...
do you see my game releasing the 7th November? 🤔I see it but obviously since I'm the developer (I think)

lol well it's casual-style, not very complex. Maybe I'll do something more detailed in future

Winterwolves Games @winterwolves.bsky.social · 2d

current wishlists count is 1600 lol
Following the common consensus I should wait until it's at least 7000, in practice delaying a finished game by 1-2 years (only way I could hope to get to that number in today's market). But nope, 2 days and it's out!

itchio should put some moderation queue or something for newly registered accounts. I get spammers like this infesting my itchio game pages trying to post link to malware. I report/ban an user and a new one comes out.
I'm probably going to remove the forum/comments now...
