IF YOU MAKE A GOOD GAME, PEOPLE WILL WANT TO PLAY IT!
But indie game marketing is such a damn crapshoot...
Do you know this feeling when you think you missed something and then you find out that the missed part will impact half of the project? I finished script and found out that I'm missing one gameplay mechanic and bunch of art๐
24.01.2026 13:50 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0It depends on source of funding. Just check all those indie/solo like me who have their daily jobs and then they work on their games. Just to complete the game will cost me ~$20k and I really doubt I'll sell enough to cover it. And that would be a death sentence for a small studio.

Every puzzle sees you retracing your steps as you put it all back together, and hopefully... not lose your head for it ๐ฑ

Feel like you're pretty smart? ๐ค
Olaf needs a hand solving this one! ๐ป

Retracing your steps should be easy... unless you had a big night!
Olaf has spent his #WishlistWednesday figuring out just what happened last night, one puzzle at a time ๐

Whole plot of Olaf and the Crowning Hangover is inspired by Terry Pratchett's Discworld, so I decided to add Death to the intro. Do you think it is a good fit? #discworld #indiedev #indiegamedev

Olaf woke up with no memory, a royal order undelivered, and one hell of a hangover!
Now he's gotta piece it all back together...

Scaling down game instead of scaling up UI?
