Other indie game devs, you should do this. Poland gets continually shafted with pricing in things like this, since they get lumped with other countries whose currencies are stronger
Poland is a large and very online market, it's good to make your pricing fair there and not rely on the auto pricing

This has finally motivated me to review Extortion and Alchemistry's price for Poland.
So be happy, polish peeps, my games went from zł22.99 to zł17.99 :) (So down from ~5.4€ to 4.25€, for a 4.99€/4.99$ game)

All you need to have AI write code is to write a bunch of detailed instructions on how to write code that is basically code itself!
What a time saver!
I get to do the same thing, but save five minutes if it's really simple to do anyway, AND I learn nothing!
Amazing technology!

Indie game devs, what is your schedule for working on your game?
Don't have one? You need one. Can't finish a massive project that takes months or years without a schedule or a routine.
Mine is to wake up, and immediately work on my game. Sometimes for only an hour, but progress is progress.

Ah, I wake up to once again see the Democratic party is going to roll over to the far right and let a bunch of people die, but god damn it they will fight against a guy who wants to make buses free with everything they have.
One of these trips to Poland I just won't come back.

Making a game is a massive accomplishment that anyone should be proud of, even if the game isn't that great.
Making a game when you used AI slop? Not so much. That just says I wanted to make something but I didn't really care that much.

I don't hate on bad games if they clearly make an effort. I will forever love The Demon Rush for shooting for the moon and blowing its own legs off.
But when I see an RPG Maker game proudly announcing that it's part-written by ChatGPT? Fuck everyone involved in that game. Absolute losers.

My partner is struggling sometimes to sleep with all the light that comes in through the attic windows we don't have shades for yet in the bedroom.
However I, who have spent decades surrounded by the status indicators of a billion electronics, have no issue.

I have a question for fellow indie game devs, particularly those who constantly use the wishlist Wednesday and screenshot Saturday hashtags.
Do you actually see any noticeable increase in traffic or wishlists from those?
Or is it just a thing you do because it is how Twitter did things?

Only the most professional setups over here.

I'm looking for advice. I'm working on some of the narrative segments in my game.
I didn't offer textual descriptions of things, because you can see them on screen.
But adding a literary type description is fun, I'm just not sure it provides much value.
Do you like a text description as well?

This is a good example of what I meant with a previous post talking about how we need better categorization and terminology than just "gamers".
India is absolutely an important gaming market..... If your game is on phones.
If your game is not on mobile, they are pretty much completely irrelevant.

Back in I think February, I looked at the mayoral candidates. I saw my state assembly member was running, but I wanted to pick the furthest left one to support.
So I decided it was ride or die with whoever Zohran Mamdani was, and to tell everyone I knew about him.
Can't believe he actually won.

Sometimes I'm tempted to quote post really stupid comments I see just to be like hey everyone get a load of this idiot.
But then I remember that just gives their stupid comment a platform it wouldn't have otherwise, and I let it die in silence and solitude.

I have always played dynasty warriors explicitly because I want to press a couple buttons and kill hordes of enemies.
Also FANTASTIC intro games for non gamers. They're fun and simple.

Here's the thing about Musou games for 95% of people.
They're like Gacha games.
Find the titty aesthetic you like, and get that.
You like Zelda? Get the Zelda one.
You like Berserk? They got that.
Samurai shit? They got that too!
They even have Gundam Musou!
3 Kingdoms? Brother...
