Sometimes I wonder how much I should lean into these facts when promoting my game project:
• Self-Publishing Indie
• Self-Funded Indie (Read: No Budget)
• Meticulously handcrafted (Anti Gen-AI) and affordable ($7)
Probably at least a bit more. 🙂↕️
Also yes, this is partially a TGA subpost. 🫢

ok i really am going to try not to treat this as a promo platform but

i made Time Bandit, a real-time adventure game about stealing from your employer
now im working on Part 2
please tell more people to play Part 1 so this unwise investment of gamedev time is justifiable
