Just shared quick thoughts on my playthrough of Ghost of Yotei.
You can check it out here: player3.io/bit/144-memo...
A fun little mini-series providing my thoughts on games that I love, called Memory Card.
Enjoy!

If you were curious about what Player 3 does, hopefully this helps!
Also, weโll be adding support for games soon, focusing on a D2C model. This means youโll earn directly from all of your sells, instead of the money going through the platform!

Just the thought of the crazy advancements that the world would have across all sectors if we just worked together, is insane.

As a big fan of the franchise that had such an impact on my childhood, this sucks to see.
Nintendo should be paving the way for game devs... Not destroying it.

Also, for those who reading this, may good things come to you ๐
If you ask me again in a few months this list may change ๐
What are some of your favorite games and why?
Thanks for the shout out Doug! ๐ฅณ
Happy to share any information to anyone who wants to know about Player 3.
There's some really good blogging options.
BearBlog.dev It's a very cool, simple blogging platform, but not game focused
@iksmith.bsky.social here on bsky Just launched player3.io which is game focused. It has lot of cool features, but you can create content and tag it as a DevLog for sure
lol well thanks for subscribing as well!

And yes! Thanks for sharing that. Itโs awesome knowing that others have those same experiences and memories.
Youโre exactly right on the documenting!
Itโs good to let those thoughts out somewhere ๐ญ
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It means a lot to me ๐
Haha, yes! That's how I work too.
It's important to keep dreaming, regardless of the outcome!
Occasionally, one may just come to life, lol

I know you can do it ๐ฅณ
And much respect to you for working toward the transition!
Also, thanks for sharing your thoughts! It means a lot to me ๐
Be sure to document your journey as well! Whether written in a journal, or on video.
I wanted to share a bit more about myself as well as what led me to transition to a career in gaming.
Check it out if you have the time!

Too many games w/large marketing budgets have been pushed to the front, just to under deliver on what gamers expect.
Something needs to change.
Because the truth is, itโs not about the size of the studio. Itโs about the value the project can provide its audience.
12.09.2025 16:59 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I want to help change the dynamics of gaming by bringing more indie projects to the spotlight.
Indie games deserve just as much mainstream attention.
Hey friends!
I finally got around to making a product hunt launch, hoping to help Player 3 get discovered by more game devs, gamers, and fans.
Iโd love it if you could show support!

Haha for sure. Itโs a platform Iโm building directly for game devs.
Even if you only check it out, Iโd love your feedback!
Correction! It's working now

Buuuut, I was going to say you could also use Player 3 for this! lmao, it's like Ko-Fi, but made for gaming.
Player3.io
Exactly!
I understand why they have the model, but every dollar helps during game development. Especially for those that just want to support them any way they can.
Itโs not the ideal model that a game dev should feel forced to try out, so Iโm just providing other options
Not to mention, Kickstarter isnโt a platform necessarily meant for gaming.
As a gamer, I donโt casually view projects on Kickstarter.
Iโd be more inclined to check out and support projects that were on sites dedicated to gaming.
Thatโs my option of course.
But what are your thoughts?
My goal is to help at least 1 dev get their project funded before the end of the year.
If youโre raising or considering raising for your project, Iโd love for you to check it out and let me know your thoughts.
I want to continue improving the tools that allow gamers to support its creators!
Less than 1% of the 22k+ video game projects listed on Kickstarter receive funding.
I get the model, but that doesnโt mean that itโs right way for devs.
So, Iโve added donation goals to Player 3 so you can actually receive what you earn.

Good luck with your Kickstarter campaign!
I know sometimes it can be difficult, but keep pushing through!
If you need any additional help with funding your project, I'd love to chat. I built a free platform to help indies like you raise without the barriers of all-or-nothing campaigns โค๏ธ
Good luck with your fundraise!
I know that you're using Kickstarter. We've just added donation goals on Player 3, so if you're looking for something more flexible and guaranteed, I'd love for you to check it out and let me know your thoughts!
Here's the link: player3.io
I'm excited to continue my mission of creating a home for gaming.
A true place where gamers can support gaming, without the extra BS like hidden agendas, ads, or corporate politics.
I'll be pushing hard on implementing more features to give smaller creators the tools they need to win!
