On a related note: Putting "Controller Recommended" or worse, "REAL [Noun]s Use Controller" at the start of the game doesn't excuse you having shit default keybinds, and it's obnoxious as shit. Don't fucking do that

If you're a game studio and you're releasing on PC you should have at least 50% of your testers be keyboard players. Maybe then you'll ship your game with a decent set of binds for once. I STG The amount of games I see still coming out with the most glorpshit default keybinds is staggering.

I think the fact that as an indie creator you're basically expected to have a public discord for ur fans to hang out with you is actually really harmful. Like, I shouldn't be disappointed that I can't hang out with the person who made my favourite thing just because it's niche. I would never 1/2

This post brought to you by me scouring the socials of a developer for like 15 minutes to try and find any hint of a discord link before stopping to question what the fuck I'm doing. Don't let the parasocial thoughts win, they're not good for you.

even dream of being able to hang out with AAA game producers or movie directors behind famous works. But if you're small, and niche, the precedent is set that fans should be able to reach you, hang with you, and befriend you. And while there's an appeal to that, it shouldn't be expected. 2/2

Some of these are a stretch but I was running out of obvious ones I'm also very surprised this site even recognised some of these (even if it doesn't have a cover for one of them) my9games.net/en

I could list a lot more than nine games, and maybe you guys think this is cheap, but has any game shaped who I am more than those top three? There's a great story to tell for the others, but I've probably already told each of them a million times. my9games.net/en

#screenshotSaturday This is just a normal chest. Nothing weird at all, and definitely no rats inside. Yep, no rats. Absolutely 0 rats in this chest. Guaranteed rat-free chest right here. #jrpg #rpgmaker

Returning to the mountain peak you may find some new creatures, and some old ones that are stronger than before. More goofing around with combat, featuring the new Bushfire alongside a Dusk Bunny and Heat Weasel, all buffed up. #JRPG #ScreenshotSaturday #rpgmaker #VagrantShifter

Pulled a Harold Jam first and composed for someone else's game instead of making my own! @lumitdog.itch.io gave me an opportunity to learn the ins and outs of FL Studio and push me way out my comfort zone again. Here's the battle theme I wrote for the game! #DTM #RPGMaker

This was one of my favourite entries in this year's Harold Jam and it desperately needs more ratings! Please try it out and play some of the other entries while you're at it! (Or play all the entries, I got through the entire jam in about 3 hours) itch.io/jam/harold-j...

Upgrading some side content in my Indie RPG #VagrantShifter with new and improved cutscenes and sprites! (Peep the old version in the replies for a comparison) #screenshotsaturday #jrpg #rpgmaker

I fully overhauled the Steam page for my #JRPG, Vagrant Shifter. The old page sucked ass and I'm disappointed in myself that it took a full month of almost no wishlists for me to notice. But its good now I promise.

States will now scroll if you have too many as to not cause them to escape the UI and overlap with each other (though that would be funny) Will this ever happen during real gameplay? Depends how mean I choose to be, I guess. #VagrantShifter | #jrpg | #rpgmaker
