Steam: 30% GOG: 30% Epic: 12% Itch: variable, default 10% Microsoft: 12% Humble: 25% Google Play: 15% (on first million) Apple: 30% Some give a bigger cut to bigger games, only Google does to smaller. Remember though, you can buy Steam keys directly from the devs and give them 100% of the money.

Indies will not save us until y'all start demanding Valve take a smaller cut of revenue from them. Because that 30% cut is responsible for more indie studios folding after their 1st game than anything else in this industry

It's wild how new the concept of the nation is. People seem to think I'm odd for being an anarchist, but nations are modern parasites. Nationalism is forfeitting part of your identity to the state and letting the government replace what was lost. No wonder it leads to fascism every single time.

One of the big things I wanted to convey when I started Occultpunk is that this is actually a -punk game. The punk aesthetic has long been co-opted and washed of meaning. It's a game of resistance, yes, but it's also a game of mutual aid, of community, of diversity, of love. That is what 'punk' is.

Nothing in game design is fundamental. It's an art, not a framework. It's utilizing every aspect of the experience to amplify the emotions you want to cultivate in your audience. There's no 'one size fits all' in game design, just concepts more widely applicable than others. #gamedesign

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

Under capitalism, coworkers and managers are not your friends. I've seen so many dear to me get burned by making this mistake. Hell, I get burned by making this mistake. Humans want connection with others; we want to see the best in people But the best of humanity can't thrive under capitalism

Is there a good term for people who aren't white but aren't exactly 'brown'? Feel like I've been kinda left in the dust here. Calling myself either term feels like a bold-faced lie, and I don't want to come across like I'm ignorant to colorism by using one term or another.

1/3 This began as a different game called Heretic. It was going to be inspired by my upbringing within a cult and explore that very unique type of isolation. It's such an oddball experience though that I had trouble conveying it well, but there's still some DNA from Heretic in Occultpunk.

My current big project is Occultpunk. It's a TTRPG where you play as magical dissidents in an urban (though not necessarily modern) fantasy city. It's a game about thwarting fascists and building community, featuring a unique (to me, anyways) dice resolution and combat system. It's neat. #ttrpgdev

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

We need more CEO-bashing journalism like this. Their investors - their bosses - need to see what clowns these people are to the rest of the world. They should be feeling the pressure constantly after making career-destroying moves like this. #gamedev

1/2 I've been in a rough spot. A fever turned into a chest infection, and my wallet can't keep up. I work for less than minimum wage as it is, and missing so much work has me in dire straits. If anyone can spare anything at all, it would help me immensely. ko-fi.com/rainnovella
