Gamers and indie devs, where do you prefer main menu buttons to be positioned? ๐ŸŽฎ Left? Right? Center? Or something creative? Letโ€™s talk UI preferences! ๐Ÿ’ก #IndieGameDev #GameDesign #GameUI #GamingCommunity #gaming #gamers

Here are a few tips I have for using and growing on Bluesky as a gamedev.

1 Interact. Post about your game, reply to comments, and comment on others posts.

2 Be nice. This isn't Twitter. Be positive, help people, don't look for arguments.

3 Be consistent with your posts
