10 Minutes of Your Time by melancholerik
A short experiment.

A short dumb thing I made today about keeping track of time, what you can do in that time and how my 10 minutes and your 10 minutes are not the same.

I think it's telling that the streamer who's basically the indie kingmaker, the guy who played all the hot roguelikes and deckbuilders and whatnot, now went back to playing BoI every day.

The cool thing about having a flat organizational structure with no real job descriptions is that no one specific person is to blame when your company unilaterally censors art

Oh, I guess GOTY comes out in a week? Well when it does, buy it everywhere. Buy it for your friends and family. Santa Ragione don't deserve to go down like this.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

The insane number of cool games released every day is a threat to my wallet and my productivity, but on the other hand it boosts my imposter syndrome to levels previously thought impossible.

If I sink a bunch of time into a game and my main takeaway is "I'd be better off working", that's probably not great.

The demo of our relaxing tower-building game launches in a few weeks. We’re a tiny indie duo just trying to get a bit more visibility on Steam before then. A like and repost would go a very long way 🙏

I really need to *always* listen to my gut because whenever I don't, I end up regretting it.
Why do I care about anybody else says? I know myself better than anyone.
