L8R SK8R is a retro inspired 3D platformer, with a 90s aesthetic, that is designed to push you to play it like a speedrunner
Every time you beat a level you collect the time you saved. Use that time to unlock new levels in the hub world, like stars from Mario 64

Decided to update my capsule and would love any feedback
Do you think the blue background is an improvement?
Or do they both stink and I should just hire a capsule artist? 😅

I've decided to stick to just selling temporary tattoos at PAX (maybe some fridge magnets too?)
What do people think of these designs? Which ones are the best? The worst? Would appreciate any thoughts ☺️

Are there any indie devs here who have sold merch at PAX?
What kind of merch did you find sold well? How much did you sell?
Or just in general, what was your experience selling merch?
Would really appreciate any thoughts on the matter, as I'm kind of lost deciding what to sell, what prices, etc

Planning on selling some pins at PAX, but I'm not sure what kind of design would be good
Anyone have any thoughts on these three?
I can probably only do one, although I think I'll also do a temporary tattoo (Maybe the graphics sucked one?)
Also, might just get rid of the logo on the third one

James Cameron's stance that VFX *artists* cost too much and have to learn to be cheaper (with ai somehow???) to save their jobs??? is ai booster nonsense and shows just how dangerous getting into bed with these scam companies can be

It is low key a bit of a dick move to announce your game at the last minute if you're making the kind of game that other indies are going to have to plan their releases around 🤷
