For #indiegamedev, I try to cover at least 100 games each Next Fest, and if you have a demo in the event, let me know so I can check out yours.

Josh Bycer @gwbycer.bsky.social · 3d

Tomorrow is the start of next fest, which means it's time to put the word out that I'll be covering the event and looking for as many #indiegamedev demos premiering to play on my stream.

A really nice playthrough of Fantastic Finding's demo!

I really enjoyed that; even though I am really scared every time I watch people play my game! 😅

But check out Matt Plays' video, if you're curious about the demo :)

If you haven't yet, Pokemon reloaded is a pretty fun ROM hack. The real time battle is a nice change up

They really are 😔 it takes so long to catch em and by then it's too late the email chain already has opinions on your current state of mind (I promise I've seen the sun recently!)

NCrafters @gobutiko.com · 5d

Ok, brain. Now I'm disappointed. You gave me shit over the word "Event" for like an hour, but didn't catch that I wrote "every" instead of "ever"? 😑

Anybody else every have those days where you look at a super common and easy to spell word and suddenly not recognize the spelling?

Brain, we've been over this before. Event is spelled Event, we do not need to look it up. It's 5 letters and not even one of those tricky words. Just do your damn job

Admittedly I also started skipping dialog at one point. I just wanted to see if I could get my boi Terriermon. I think I just prefer the more open goal style of the world series

NCrafters @gobutiko.com · 6d

It didn't. Also not a fan of pointless dialog options in a story. Like, it's not changing anything so let's just move it along.

NCrafters @gobutiko.com · 6d

Same boat. I love Digimon, but definitely not $70 love. The demo is good, but I feel like I didn't really care about the story. Which means I'm gonna get annoyed about dialog interrupting my flow a lot.

I am looking for recommendations of Streamers and Youtubers who cover Steam Next fest!

I've found a lot on YouTuber, less on Twitch. Do you folks have any recommendations? - I'd like to contact as many as I can to show off my game.

I guess we'll just pivot towards the bullet hell genre and call it a feature 😌

NCrafters @gobutiko.com · 11d

Lol every customer is angry and low balls every offer

I forgot to put a cap on the customer spawn rate and ended up with a retail apocalypse 😂

I'm also thinking of limiting your access to decoration storage to only the storage items found inside these areas, but undecided on that one. I'm trying to adopt a more incentive based design to some of these ideas instead of directly restricting or penalizing you for drawing outside the lines.

NCrafters @gobutiko.com · 11d

Been a while #screenshotsaturday! Here's a new feature I've been working on for "officially" claiming land for your shop. It isn't a hard restriction, but instead an incentive to keep your shop in a specific area by granting bonuses to your shop's popularity and item values!

Keeping up with Goblin Logs! Here's Log #2, where I break down what Concept Cores are and how they can change the flow of haggling 🎲

If nothing else, writing this helped me think of a few more improvements I can still make to the system. 🛠️

Sometimes you just need to tweak the rules a bit to get the edge in haggling!

GameCube animal crossing for how much these villagers don't give a fuck about my existence. New Leaf for the QoL bow they wrapped the franchise in.

...and whatever the fuck CityFolk was doin'. I see you wiimote, we are not friends don't talk to me 😑

NCrafters @gobutiko.com · 20d

Truly the peak of game dev is getting to add new rules/effects specifically because you're bad at your own game. 😌

NCrafters @gobutiko.com · 20d

🎲New Dice Effect: Stop Loss📉
A dice effect that triggers when the current price would result in a loss of +20% to let you close out the deal at a 15% loss instead.

The idea came to me after my opponent rolled a 6 three times in a row and I got pissy about it. 😂

Alternatively, can we normalize real travel times over warping across maps? I know we're all in a super hurry, but I really like when a game has a public transit system that makes you sit there and wait to get to your destination. I get to look out the window and regret my life choices more. 😌
