I do see and practice an alternative routes to survival for #indidevs 1. Micro-scale. 2. Foster a returning audience. 3. Through building a franchise that can exploit bundled sales, brand recognition etc. 4. Stick to your franchise,re-use, recycle and expand so you can: 5. Punch above your weight.

Deep combat, moving soundtrack, impossibly beautiful environments, and a complex, incredible narrative, Clair Obscur has it all. Amazing work from Sandfall and everyone who contributed.

Heyyy BlueSky. I’m releasing a game tomorrow that’s taken me 4+ years to make and I’m trying to stop myself from vibrating through the floor with anxiety. AMAs still seem to be a thing, so let’s do one to distract me. For the next however long, ASK ME STUFF. I shall answer.

Hey #GameDev, do me a favor and boost this skeet from @bmann.ca! It'd be great to get the games industry involved in this early verification process. 🥰

After a week, loosely planning my day and tracking what I get done has helped keep me focused and on schedule. I’m using @cgpgrey.bsky.social sidekick as the template, along with techniques from Atomic Habits by @jamesclear.bsky.social. Hoping to keep up the momentum this week!

Finished Omori last night and man I shouldn't have waited so long to play it. It's both hilarious and devastating, the execution is top notch, and you can feel all the passion that went into it, by people who really understand the struggles they're talking about.

Trying out a new organization system to keep me on track and accountable today, been struggling with that a lot lately. It’s basically a variation on CGP Grey’s “sidekick” planner, hoping it works!

Finally did some gardening today. I’ve been threatening to plant some shrubs and flowers in my front yard since I moved here. 4 years later and I finally made good on that threat.

It's been a while since I've pushed this, so let's do it. I have a feed for major updates of self published games. It's powered by a list, and list people can put things in the feed with tags. Also, I reply to posts and add them to the feed every morning. bsky.app/profile/did:... #indiegamedev

Extremely tired after a full GDC week but I had an absolute amazing time. I met a ton of amazing developers, ate great food, rode in a self driving taxi, and learned so much. Now to take that all back and work hard to improve!

Just finished a new portfolio piece! A series of character studies using models from Paragon as the subjects. Lighting characters is something I have less experience with but I've been practicing and think these turned out well! #gamedev #lighting #gameart
