This is what a handcrafted game with no AI looks like!

(psst, and it's co-op 👀)

Hi #TeaseYaGame !

Ever wondered what happens behind the scenes of every heroic adventure? 🤔

In our game, you’re not the hero. You’re the clerk crafting the heroes’ gear while your store catches fire. Literally🔥

Clerks & Quirks is a place with…
❌ no HR
❌ no idea what’s happening
❌ no lunch breaks
✅ emotionally unstable hardware

Atleast we didn't directly pay for the booth 🫣 We had to donate merch in exchange.

It could've been nice to have people directed towards the booth when they got something. But indies we're located in such a horrible section that you could only find us by wandering around 😅

Could we get events and expos like this to work for indies?
Are there some that actually work? Different countries or formulas?
Is it better for AAA games?
How do you make it work if barely a few hundred peoples actually try the game?

From a cost-to-wishlist standpoint:
We need to 10x or more the amount of wishlists and visibility gained to justify the $ invested. Barely any streamers, no media...

If we ever do in-person events again, we'll have to focus on local events where we can merge B2B & relations with the expo.

How...

Just got back from Dreamhack Stockholm🌍 where we had an indie booth to show off @altkeygames.bsky.social

In-person events help validate game mechanics, define onboarding and identify issues.

We had a blast, players loved the demo & we came back home with great ideas.

But...

I'm adding Marketing to those and it's a lot to learn (I love learning!)
Creating games is both overwhelming and awesome 🫡

I'm used to juggling SWE/Manager/Designer/Producer roles, but now...
