Le "tabou", ici, c'est le travail de sape du macronisme: en 8 ans, ce Président aura méthodiquement asséché le financement de l'audiovisuel public, puis supprimé sa principale source de financement. Volontairement ou non, il crée ainsi les conditions de l'avènement d'un régime illibéral.

If you’ve enjoyed an indie game please consider leaving a review on Steam. It does massively help and the devs and community teams love to read them. Especially around launch when everyone is knackered, a lovely review is such an energy boost.

🦌 Seers Isle 🧙
A group of shaman apprentices set foot on the shores of a sacred island to be initiated to magic. As they progress through the wilderness, looking for the “Seers”, their spirit-guides, they realize they’re not alone.

When developers get the lion's share of a video game's profits and not executives and shareholders, then we can talk about raising the price of games.
But miss me with this $100 shit when we have leeches like Phil Spencer and Andrew Wilson constantly laying off devs for a quarterly boost.

For which reason I once again recommend this little metroidvania where you're a shaman, and your drum is a rhythm minigame.
The solo author poured a lot of passion into it but did not think about marketing. Like, even once. It hurts my heart to see his talent drown in the steam algorithm.

Lesson learned: don't shadow drop your game and hope for the best.
(even if it's a very low budget remake of your first game and you don't have the money to both market it properly and fund on your next title).
