Don't fall into the trap of comparing your #game with other #indiegamedev 's !

'Make What’s Popular’ Is TERRIBLE #Gamedev advice

Building a game dev company for the long term requires more than chasing the viral hit. Let me explain! #indiegamedev

The year, 2025, has been a release-heavy year for OrangePixel, but since the year isn't over yet, why not squeeze out a few more games? THREE more releases coming to the modern @atari.com VCS this November read more here:

Time to balance my game so that losing feels like progress, not punishment and players don't get overwhelmed at the start while still seeing new things later in the game! AKA - the wrap up stage of another OrangePixel game :)

Time to take a step back from productivity as we enter the last few months of the year (still 3 game releases coming). #Gamedev has been CRAZY for OrangePixel, can't wait for 2026 with all new games! Health goals! AND: a new desk!

It's been an extremely busy year with many game releases. So I really needed a break to keep my mental state in order. But I couldn't leave the YouTube channel without the weekly upload, so this video is a not-a-video video! .. ADIOS! ;)

Chrono Shard is the new game in the Space Grunts saga! Fast Turn Based Roguelike gameplay in outer space.. with a dish of horror and a side of time-loop-madness!

Wishlist it now on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3403540/... #indiegames #pixelart #TurnBasedThursday

Releasing games consistently and pushing them to the finish line of a released-state can be a challenge! So maybe my tips can help ;)

Chrono Shard might be my best looking #pixelart game build so far. Subtle lights, shadow casting and field of view all contribute to a nice spooky space ship vibe!

Getting featured in news papers and magazines is one of those items on the "Cool things"-list that I managed to check-off a few times over the many years as #indiedev ! Also, Epic store vs Steam? Amazon free game? a lot of content this week:

A game design idea, that turned out as a bad idea, but in a different way makes it back into the game and actually gives the game something unique! A new update on the new Space Grunts game... also.. it now has an actual title -> www.youtube.com/watch?v=cY57... #indiegamedev #gamedev

More work on my classics (how many #indiegamedev 's can say that!?) to get them onto Steam, Epic and Nintendo Switch! - also 3D models for Gunslugs and Heroes of Loot are freely available! -> www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0Sq...

Did I secretly have a hit game all these years? Heroes of Loot first release was 2013, but the game is STILL selling copies and doing business (currently part of Amazon Prime free games)

There are secret doors that open up extra ways to make money in this game industry.. sadly they are often locked or blocked for smaller developers:

When I created Heroes of Loot in 2013, I never expected it to still be a game I got to put on new stores and platforms in 2025.. but here we are, Heroes of Loot on Amazon's Prime Gaming! - a classic from the OrangePixel Universe #indiegames #games
