Indie dev rant: @nintendousa.bsky.social You let crap like this on your store, but reject solo devs making an effort to deliver something magical. If anyone wonders why they can't find games on Switch 2, it's because we're busy dealing with Nintendo bureaucracy. #IndieGameDev #gamedev

I'm planning on doing a developer commentary playthrough of Kingdom of Hope in the New Year to help spread the word.
Trailers can be very static, and to be honest, so much has changed since the last trailer. The live feedback would be great as well

It's been a difficult week for me personally, but having kind people (who you don't even know) send messages like this really makes a difference when you know how much you are putting in.

Music is so important, it brings those visuals to life, ensuring you're connected to the game. It has to be captivating and catchy. Making you want to hum the tune on random occasions when you're not even playing.

Using GPT-4o here for accuracy, mini was much faster but not as accurate at all. I asked it to return reviews, phone numbers and check reviews for pricing information and what the highlights and limitations of each business were based on real feedback.
