That moment when you have one chance left and you start to sweat…

feels really special when it happens testing the game you’re building.

I made a business account, go follow me there instead! @pattgames.bsky.social

I don’t need or want personal social media accounts any more. This one will be perishing soon, I just need to leech some followers first.

I’m going to start using my new professional account instead of this one: @pattgames.bsky.social

But for now, here is a hint about the theme of my new game, test build coming soon.

Making a game I'm really excited about, going to get it on #itch.io and #Steam soon.

Current marketing plan:

1. Post a few times on here and maybe Reddit.

3. Hope it goes viral???

2. Profit.

So I might just, make a game and put it on Itch and Steam and only talk about it on here and maybe Reddit.

I don’t have the energy for or desire to support really any other social media platforms. Reddit is even pushing it these days but it’s so essential for game devs.

Hey I helped make a game! Chill, clicker/idle gameplay and just incredible art, this one has been a lot of fun to work on.

You should play it for free on itch: black-heart-games-studio.itch.io/plinkidle

And wishlist it on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3684530/...

I'm just going to keep posting my prototypes and past game jams until people start playing them. Sorry not sorry.

This is the result of my attempt to make a Metroidvania in a month a couple years ago. It's really buggy and really hard but I'm proud of this one.

No one commented on my game yesterday, probably because I posted it at 7 am. Here it is again you lazy bums.

Desktop only but it has controller support!

Back to the blue after a few months away, why not randomly share one of my many prototypes?

Platformers are one of my favorite genres and I've built a bunch of experiments over the years. This is one of my favorites, Platformer Light.

Too hard, buggy, have fun.

2025. My 40th year. This year I want to meditate daily, eat better, exercise more, be more patient with family and maybe start a game dev business.

Since we’re talking about how much billionaires suck again, here’s a reminder that your local indie bookstore deserves your business this holiday season. They have gift cards and are happy to mail stuff out. Same goes for @bookshop-org.bsky.social. Buy books. Give books. Support bookstores.

Randomly posting low-quality content every 10 days is definitely the best way to build a following.

Right?

I really want to be a successful indie game dev one day.

I also kind of hate all social media and marketing.

Over 1,000 followers. I’m going to miss my ones and tens places.
November 25, 2024 at 7:22 PM
I really need to get to 9,001 followers so I can make an overused Dragon Ball Z reference.

Who wants to help me out here?

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong

Really, really enjoying #CoreKeeper. The exploration is just great, some challenging boss fights, great crafting system, fun armor/weapon/skill upgrades and PETS.

If you’re into survival sandbox games, definitely check this one out.

Arcane is so so so good.

So I’m pretty sure this is the most followers I’ve ever had on a social media platform.

With great power comes great…

Being a gamer in your 30s means you get all the games you always wanted but finish maybe 3 of them and replay your favorite ones over and over

Impossible to choose, but here are four games to get to know me.
