Well, let's try this out lol
I'm developing a game (very close to get out of Early Access!)
It combines VR and "flat" gameplay; full horror for the VR player, hunted by the PC player(s). It has giant alien Mandrills!
You can get it on Steam at steam.pm/app/1936360

No joke I'd watch some "unrestricted" olympics where everybody could just be doped out of their minds and wearing the most deranged contraptions to gain the maximum advantage
I want group B rally but for people

I dont want digital scanline generators, I want to use every pixel in a 4K flatscreen to mimic the screenmask of a Trinitron, and then I want a phosphor bloom shader applied at just the right level to make the picture appear cohesive, like a CRT

One of the most entertaining gamemodes of Mandrillia started as the shittiest possible sketch and I couldn't be prouder of it
My concept art skills are, dare I say, quite exquisite
From sketch to full update in roughly a month! Escape from Mandrillia finally has a fully-fledged coop mode. You can also grab it at 40% sale for Steam's Couch Coop Fest!

The reason BSKY is 'boring' is because before all this algorithm tuning, if you wanted to find something that would be interesting to you, you had to look for it. You had to... search... and keep tabs... and write things down... it was actually really nice and felt rewarding but maybe I'm old.

Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.

But if that was the lesson, then the corollary would be
"...and equally useless are people whose entire job description is 'waste everyone else's time with PowerPoint & email bullshit'!"
and we all know the executive class does not take well to having their own obsolescence pointed out to them. 🙃

half the time I hear lesser things AI is good for (powerpoints and emails) it's like.... the lesson should be the things you're doing are useless and performative, not that you need a machine to fake the useless and performative shit!!!

this is a good reason to scream about the great games you've found. Leave some reviews on what you love, share them here or anywhere.
I don't want to falsely embiggen this concept, and truly believe this could be the one thing between a game's success or total failure. It's good karma every time.

Over 19,000 games have released on Steam in 2025.
Almost half of them have fewer than ten reviews.

The winner takes all-instant hit-meme-flywheel mentality that has completely overtaken the games industry and even #indiedev is poison.
It deteriorates the space for risk and sustainable growth, until all that's left is to to either make slot-machines or slop-machines.

Being a VR dev has just been a decade of being jump scared by new hardware, from half a dozen or more vendors, you will be expected to support, suddenly, with no external financial assistance, and no way to tell if doing so will pay for the resource expenditure of supporting it.

Lowered prices once again in hopes to fill enough slots to help pay vet bills. Sadie's health issues persist and so far we don't even know what's wrong, so more vet visits ahead. Any shares will be highly appreciated since I am a small artist here still.
