Looking forward to demoing my game @positrongame.com at MCM Birmingham this weekend in the @egxofficial.bsky.social / @gamerepublic.bsky.social area. Got some flyers to hand out at the show and direct people to come play our games, as I'm fully aware most attendees will not be there for the games!

Ready for Wicked For Good. Saw Wicked at the theatre many years ago and loved it. Just watched Wicked Part One for the first time here at the cinema as part of a double bill tonight.

My game @positrongame.com will also likely not be coming to the PS Vita now :(

Gamers really love Indie Games (when they're discounted). @positrongame.com sales for the past year (excluding the launch spike of about 80 units sold). I routinely offer a flat 25% discount during sale periods, and don't intend to go lower. #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGame #Steam #Sale

I'm considering making a single level playable demo of @positrongame.com that runs in browser, to attract more players to the full version on Steam. Shouldn't be too difficult as I made a simple level preview in WebGL ten years ago. martincaine.com/webgl/positr...

Another GaMaYo done. Thanks to the organisers and all those who came and played @positrongame.com. Might have even sold a few copies which is a bonus, as it's not really a consumer facing event.

No shit; "Not enough time to change train". Luckily the app notified me of the delay and we were able to jump in an Uber to Mirfield.

Another hand drawn card made for one of my kids' birthday tomorrow. I'm not artistic enough to do this from scratch, but can copy close enough from a reference image :-) #OnePiece #Luffy #HappyBirthday

Bit of pub-dev on @positrongame.com between cinema visits today. Working on getting rumble working on controller, and maybe a bit of screen shake too. steam.positrongame.com #PubDev #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev #IndieGame #NotMadeWithUnity

Its 1990, I'm 8 years old, and my Dad is taking me to the Cannon cinema in Wakefield for the first time, to see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
35 years later, I've just seen it at our local cinema. Still an amazing film. True to the source material. Great camera work, fights, and characters. #TMNT

That bump at the start of October was demoing the game again at Play Expo Blackpool. My game is always popular at live events and expos, and we sold 10 copies directly as a result of people playing it at the show. #GameDev #PlayExpoBlackpool #IndieGameDev

Sales over the past few months have pretty much flatlined, given that there's no natural traffic to the Steam store page. If I flood my socials (and @retroburngames.com and @positrongame.com), I'll usually sell a copy that day. #IndieGameDev #IndieGame
