New title screen for Stagnant Gold!!
The coolest thing ever I want to add is several illustrated cutscenes to complement the very minimalist graphic style of the game! 🤩
Inspired by OFF, Omori, In Stars and Time, and the likes! 💜

After following a few curators, I started a curation channel in my Discord for ethical games; either from devs that are explicitely against GenAI, or older games.
It would be amazing to see more Anti-GenAI indie game curators to help gamers and support ethical indiedev(s)!!

Honestly, not touching games made after 2022 anymore, unless the devs LOUDLY and EXPLICITLY make anti AI statements.

I'm 100%, always have been, a "press and hold a button to run" person.
It's giving my fingers and brain SOMETHING TO DO while I'm just moving about, it gives me CONTROL. 👀

Extremely important Gamedev question to ALL gamers, even the Gamers™️ (and the others who genuinely love games.)
Are you a "press and hold a button to run" or a "toggle auto-run in the options" person??? 🤔👀

Any #gamedev has experience with publishers that publish small first-time indie games?
I know there's big names out there, but I'm curious with gamedevs who had good experience with publishers for smaller "first-timers" games.

One of my friend playtested the current build of my game for the first time.
Was fully expecting him to shit on it and use this as critique to fix some stuff... but he actually, genuinely loved it?
So... I guess it's fine to continue? 😶🍄

i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!
Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.
Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".

I thought people would roll their eyes at me using Rpg Maker MV for Stagnant Gold, but I've seen so many good games on RPG Maker lately?
Beloved Rapture? 8-Bit Adventures? Don't Look Outside? Omori? In Stars and Time? All amazing games.

I wanna be petty and put a warning on the Steam page and in the boot splash screens that says:
"WARNING. This game uses PRONOUNS such as "He, She, They" to refer to characters and NPCs in the game, please refund the game if basic language infuriates you, ****" 😆
