Good read! And lessons every indie dev should learn. I know I only learned it after making a game for 3 years. 1.5 is still pretty good

this morning i published the Fragments update for Axe Ghost. It adds 21 puzzles created by @richardboeser.bsky.social. From easy to fiendish. All Steam reviews are *very* helpful and welcome. ๐Ÿ’ช

Ugh yea I had the same with a game of mine. Can be annoying, but not much you can do. Unless responding to it makes sense

Love this. I also think moving the mouse is pretty mind-less, you donโ€™t think about it, feels more like an extension. Opposed to moving your finger on a mobile screen. I still like Circles on PC more for this reason

Nice! Can you also stream in assets with Construct?

I do love pure abstraction, but it seems such a hard sell... But still thereโ€™s Tetris

That's right on average! though some of my games earn a bit more, or a bit less, based on how long people play and how many ads they see and such. And some games on the platform are more aggressive about it and surely earn more than this.

So last year I released 4 games on @poki.com and they did pretty well! Really outdid my expectations.

More to come:)

Sounds interesting! So it is like a whole bunch of systems controlling everything? Iโ€™m just writing a game using ECS and Iโ€™m liking this whole systems way of thinking.

cool, that's nice to have. I think you'll like it then, coding is nice and fast and there's to lots to find about it online

I read in a forum some people bypass the whole tool and manage their content with their own, so it's possible. I think the tool just helps you with your assets working on all platforms, but not completely sure
