A lot of gamedevs get frustrated about their coveted wishlists being take away. Let’s look at it from a different angle:
– these folks are not going to buy your game and they just let you know!
So in the end they are probably increasing your future wishlist conversion!

Friends from Germany included these gems in the care package!
I’m a big fan of older games, especially 90-s. I don’t explicitly collect any particular platform (I do have a win98 rig though and an xbox360 and occasional buy some og stuff for them).
Anyway, thrilled to try this out!

I want to grow the Gaming community on Bluesky more.
On Twitter (pre-Elon) we had a prominent group of Retro Gaming creators and we all hyped/built each other up.
I'm thinking of how to help build that better HERE so other Gaming creators can grow and have their content represented more.

What do you mean “you can’t?”. You have to!
But, to be honest it’s way easier if you have developer’s back doors here and there (I have a max.stamina hotkey for level testing).

They are watching. Whom and why is a different question.
If you pay attention you will notice a lot of little details and what can feel like inconsistencies/placeholders at first, but will start to fall in place pretty soon.

Polishing isn’t only about fixing. I have a separate track called LocationPolish where I add props, remove overlapping meshes and foliage, add small things to do, and small reward like a snacko👇

Making an indie game? Want people to read about it in the upcoming new issue of EGM? As in, in an actual paper magazine?
Pitch us at support@egmbook.com and include "Under the Radar" in the subject line.
Three main criteria to keep in mind:

One of my favourite puzzles in the first chapter of Tailgate. Originally it was just a placeholder. Modelling and rigging a snake was too much of hustle at that point, so I just used a garden hose prop.
It gets even funnier👇

Well, it has been a while. The reason for that is that I’ve enlisted in the Armed Forces and was at basic training. Now I occasionally have some (not much, really) time. I’ve updated screenshots on Tailgate’s @steampowered.com page and would like you to check them out! 👇❤️🐕🎾

It’s #screenshotsaturday so it’s time to show some fresh stuff! I’m almost done with all major assets for this chapter (and a lot of them would be used in other chapters). So I’m taking my time working on small stuff!

I’m half through the modelling phase (need to make it redo a lot of assets). I’m trying very hard to keep modelling and decorating the level with each new prop I make🤣 but this time will come soon! #indiegames #adventuregames #Tailgate #dogs

I’ve wrapped the work on major game systems for now, and moved on to the visuals for the upcoming #Tailgate demo. There have been a lot of placeholder assets (like those flat and ugly bricks in the first pic) in alpha, now it’s time to model and texture some stuff!
