Dicevaders - Steam NextFest Demo Out Now TrailerYouTube video by Playstackyoutu.befeel this in my bones my games so far have been "one for them" games that are safe for the market so that our third game can finally be a riskier, more innovative "one for me" game
Adriaani really believe indie game devs can only ‘innovate’ if there’s ample opportunity for their experiments to generate a sustainable income. we all know the ability to generate that income is increasingly at risk, yet stores & platforms never seem to understand & take their responsibility in this

if you're evil and get enough players, you could put fake steam pages up to crowdsource player intuition to market test if a game concept would do well
Riad DjemiliAs game dev I often wonder if my intuition about the Steam market matches reality. So I did a small game to test it: Guess how many reviews a random game has. You can now play it too on steamle.com
still think a character creation themed roguelike would be very cool with style points and all
newobjectWhen we “played” TTRPGs as kids by making up characters and then … doing nothing with them … and then making more characters, we were all expressing a yearning for the as yet unearthed but still archetypal expression of theorycrafting roguelike builds
this reasoning is basically what drove me to make game
Gaziterside rant: I dislike most % upgrades in games, I think players are inherently bad at evaluating % effects so I try to avoid them as much as possible. seeing a +5% increase on a stat never excites me, its such a small increase it might as well be 0%...
I'm gonna cry 🥹 nothing has been more meaningful to me in this journey than getting to know new friends
localthunkNothing fills my cup more than seeing my fellow indie devs, and in this case I’m proud to say my friends, succeed in launching their game. I’m beyond excited for the team at Pengonauts, they’ve created one of the best in the genre with StarVaders Go play it! Support an indie!
