I can die in peace now as a game dev. 🙏

Not only did I make something people are loving, but also something that is used to build family memories.

Forget sales figures, this is the real trophy for life. Top shelf. ❤️😭🥺❤️

Indie devs always ask: “How do I get real playtesters?”
I just had 2,000 people play my game on itch in 5 days.
Here’s exactly what worked (and what didn’t).

Likewise, I just finished it. What a plot twist at the end!
Very satisfying 😊
I don't usually watch much TV (or talk about it) but I just finished The Residence on Netflix and really enjoyed it. A comedic whodunnit set in the White House, with a stack of great characters and actors, and entertaining writing/direction. A bit of a Knives Out vibe.

Endless RPG is just a few reviews away from hitting 50! 🎉

So far, all reviews are positive and players are sinking 20h, 40h, even 180h into it. Just check the reviews! =]

At 50, Steam boosts visibility. Help a small indie keep making cool games! =D

Thinking of giving my game just one save slot - starting a new game wipes your progress.

How short does a game need to be for that to feel fair?

I’ve been working on my horror game in Godot for 6 months now, and I often...

Drag & drop code while I actually just wanted to select some code 😬

Here's the fix: Editor Settings → Text Editor → Behavior → Navigation → Disable “Drag and Drop Selection”

It's really not about leaving the other platforms. It's about bringing people here and giving them more engagement than the other apps.

That's what people want. Engagement. Takes nothing to offer it

If there is a user on another app that you like, DM them and invite them here. Post and tag me

I’m making surprisingly good progress on my lovecraftian survival horror game… 🦑

Here’s the plan:
- Mar 2025: Steam page up
- Jun 2025: Steam Next Fest
- Oct 2025: Release

Wishing you the best for your game as well in 2025! 😊

Looking at my uber-spreadsheet I can see that 7 games out of 16 we've shipped have generated over $100,000 net revenue each. Some over $200,000.

No hit games, but not too bad in aggregate. Lowest net revenue is about $2k (my first game).
