I'm probably gonna be in a position with very shaky income for the foreseeable future. I'm really grateful for the continuous support from folks, and I'm hoping I can get back on track soon, other than doing what I can to survive.

it means a lot to keep moving forward.

I'm going to start putting together some free info and resources for indie game devs looking to self-publish. I see a lot of people making simple mistakes, and hear a lot about being overwhelmed by what they need to do.

Do folk have specific self-publishing questions they'd want answered?

90% of the opportunities i've gotten boil down to being at the right place and the right time. one instance was literally because someone had to bow out of an event, and i got sent as a replacement. it's luck, imo. but more importantly, the connections you make.
Sometimes, creators are reluctant to share career advice because they know how much of it can't be replicated. Authors can teach you how to write, artists can teach you how to draw, but no one can teach you how to force a publisher to sign you.

Haha. Yay. No SNAP benefits for me this month I guess. Please consider my patreon, etsy, or even just donating some money to my kofi. I genuinely won't be able to afford food this month. Whee.
HI EVERYONE! Sorry to bring down the mood again. I'm very worried about being able to pay bills in november so PLEASE consider joining my patreon OR EVEN BETTER buy something from my etsy shop. I'm already backed up on commissions and working almost every day. I don't have many options. Thanks

do you know what would streamline QA better than genAI ever could?

better working conditions in the games so that the people in QA and people improving the things found by QA will be happier, healthier, and more productive at work
It figures that an industry that thinks that "vibe coding" is a reliable thing would now decide that QA is the next thing you can replace with AI 😒

Your friendly reminder that good QA people are worth their weight in gold and an invaluable part of game dev
