Game dev isn’t just “make a game.”It’s: - Doubt - Learning 12 jobs - Sleepless nights - Testing something 50 times just to break it again - And still choosing to do it the next day. That’s love. We make games because it's what we love to do. Keep going, keep learning!

Indie devs, don’t market your game like it’s AAA. - You’re indie. - Be weird. - Be raw. - Be silly. - Be authentic. Use your size as your weapon, not your excuse. You've got this!

Game devs, remember: we're all in this together. Other devs aren't your competition. We do what we do because we love to make games. Share knowledge, give feedback, and support each other; kindness goes a long way!

Imagine you're a zookeeper tasked with identifying infected mutant animals, creating vaccines, and curing them. Welcome to Zoochosis, a bodycam horror simulation game. Would you dare to play? For more cool game discoveries, follow @IndieGameJoe!

Replying to @FntasticHQ
I strongly advise players to report this game on Steam and seek immediate refunds. It's an appalling scam - falsely advertised and shutting down just 4 days post-launch. This is a grossly deceptive practice that must be addressed!

Game devs, I know this may sound harsh, but players don't care that your game took 5 years to make. They care if it looks fun in 5 seconds. Your job isn’t to tell your whole story upfront. It’s to show the one thing that stops them from scrolling. The rest comes later. 🧵

My game, DON'T SCREAM, was a 5-month project in which I aimed to craft a game with a distinct and compelling hook, perfectly tailored for Halloween. Here's what I did: - 2 weeks of pre-launch marketing - 130,000 wishlists during that period - 40k copies sold in over 24hrs 🧵👇

It breaks my heart that so many indie devs have to choose between creating and surviving. If you’re struggling to pay rent this month (or know someone who is), I’d like to help towards it so you can focus more on your game. Please share so this reaches the right person ❤️
