Now that the team is back from #DHAtlanta, it is time to do a write up about the showcasing experience. Also had to write about the stats from the event along with the quite amazing tournament run.

Time for another #screenshotsaturday for #ElemensionalRift . Since I've been busy with preparing the new surprise for the upcoming show, there is a lot still needing to be kept under wraps. However, we can share one of the new figurines of one of the guest fighters.

I can second this for my own work but I know other devs who, before the AI slop wave began, could barely talk about their cast if not in a story rich approach/genre. As for #ElemensionalRift , I can warn people of "how deep do you want to go?" since I've got a trilogy of trilogies planned.

Sorry for the bit of period of silence. Getting a big event dropped on my lap and needing to scramble to get new content for #ElemensionalRift ready in time while also extra busy with the holiday season is going to be a lot of candle burning on both ends.

Next early access build for #ElemensionalRift is now live. There are a few minor updates but the big addition is the new item, the Senzu Fan. It is a seemingly innocent looking item that creates a lot of complex mind games with foes. #FGC #indiedev

Time for more #screenshotsaturday for #ElemensionalRift. The new item, the Senzu Fan, has a hidden bonus effect. If it is hit with a wind-elemental attack, it will gain a speed bonus to throw off opponents' response to it. #indiedev #pixelart

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT! I HAVE WRITTEN A NEW ARTICLE!

this one's a bit weird; rather than doing my usual "trying to organize my thoughts and building a winding case that builds on itself," I decided to show you what my EARLY article creation process looks like:

docseuss.medium.com/some-loosely...
some loosely organized thoughts about dialogue sysin games
think of this as me trying to find out what parts of dialogue choices are load bearing game design and what else can be done with dialogue.

The best way journalists can support indie games is to cover more than whatever the current indie hits/darlings of the moment are. Games like Hades, Blue Prince, and Silksong do not need help with visibility, but discoverability is the biggest challenge facing many indie devs today.

Friendly reminder to leave reviews on the indie games you play🫡 in the past two weeks, we saw the releases of The Skeletons Are Fighting, Parable Academy and Heatwave. With less than 10 reviews, they are kept out of the Steam discovery queue. If you enjoyed them, leave a mark!
