I think starting very early on is not *that* ideal if you're spending a lot more time thinking what your post may be or how to gather audience... But if it's just a side thing while you focus more on developing, I don't think it's *that* bad.
Depends on how much time you put away from development

Even if not *all* of your followers turn into downloads/sales for your game, the fact that they might repost your stuff or talk about it is already powerful by itself, since it may reach people who *will* become interested in your games.
It's a gamble, but I guess sometimes it's worth taking

I mean, I think it has to do more with visibility than anything else... Well, I'm speaking for myself, at least, but I can guess it plays a part as well for everyone else.
I see it as a way of getting yourself be known. The more people know you and repost your stuff, the more visibility you'll get

One thing I love about Linux is HOW EASY IT IS TO INSTALL PACKAGES. It's so convenient, and then you start realizing how cumbersome it is to install the same thing on Windows.
Granted, it can go both ways... but you start appreciating it eventually

Announcement made. Now I rest.

(Two minutes later: *opens IDE*)

Let's goooo, good luck!

The artstyle is very unique, seems fun to play!! (My boyfriend would love playing it but I'd surely get dizzy with so many jumps 😅)

POV: It's your first day at LICH CORP

Ah yeah, are there more chinese anime/series like these? I've come across a few ones, but I wonder if there are more 3d-styled like To Be Hero X
#anime #donghua

People should really watch #ToBeHeroX. I literally recommend it to every person I talk to that mentions anime. I KEEP SNAPPING MY FINGERS EVER SINCE I WATCHED THAT ANIME

And I'm finally making an account on BlueSky! Not really the kind to post lots of stuff on social media, but I'll give it a try!
Here's one of my #MonsterHunter screenshots from back when I played World!
I'm also an #indiedev, so... hope to meet new people here to support their work as well!
