I have a tremendous idea: SaaP

Software as a Product

Instead of paying every month, you just buy it once and then you just kind of keep it

Who's with me

Let's try something ✨old✨ for this Steam Summer Sale.

For years I've been making lists of ✨Underrepresented Steam Games✨ that didn't get much exposure when they released, and now some of them are on sale! Let's see if we can find some deals in the archives for this thread!

Announcement!

Rift Riff releases on May 9.

Steam link: store.steampowered.com/app/2800900/...

It's a tower defense game with a strategic mix of juicy tower loadouts, varied monster behaviors, and merciful mechanics. Jump a rift, fight off monsters, and plunder their world.

Working on a top-down co-op game, what character design do you think works best?

Made a starter pack with Game Designers that worked on games I loved playing: go.bsky.app/D4QViNs

Here's a thread highlighting them, their game(s) I loved, and why I appreciate them. 🧵

The Penguin has no business being this good. Good lord. And what an amazing wrap up.

Having your game cloned is a measure of being a true game developer. Well, I'm happy to announce that today I've become a big boy developer!

Cherry on the pie is them calling it a fresh idea and the request not to steal their fresh idea.

Death of the Reprobate will be released on November 7th!

I am withered to a husk, but the triptych is almost complete! I could really do with your help spreading the word about this one, if nobody buys it I will be very very sad.

Same 100%
I still haven't rewatched the 1990 Witches since I was like 8. It terrified me that much. And I watched In A Violent Nature this year.

Over at Crossplay, the results of a recent survey that revealed something obvious: a lot of moms are playing games. I then interviewed a bunch of moms about their own personal experiences, and discovered a more complicated story about shame and curiosity. patrickklepek.substack.com/p/hey-big-sh...
Hey, Big Shock: Moms Play Lots of Video Games, Too
A new survey reveals what most of us probably already know, but conversations with moms reveal a more complicated story about not wanting to talk about their hobby.
