It's changed how I see games since I started learning about all this. Now I find myself more willing to play random experiences that I might not have spent time on before. I still don't think I've made it outside the popular bubble yet, tho.

I don't think consumers understand that games that steam recommends are already huge. And if more than 2 content creators have played or recommended it, it's likely the same story.

I perceived the world differently before I started researching indie game marketing. I genuinely thought Project Zomboid and RimWorld were eccentric/niche deep cuts.

Yes x100. You had me at the blue screen terminal. Wishlisted immediately.

Getting close to Halloween again so check out this series of screenshots that tell a story about a really scary screensaver program.

Also he's running a kickstarter for the project kickstarter.com/projects/1831872668/pazleum-3d-jigsaw-puzzle-museum/!

A former colleague released a demo for his 3D puzzle game made in UE! It's such a chill/calm experience. Right now the outlook is bleak (6 player peak on the demo), but I hope that changes cause it's _gorgeous_ and so satisfying. store.steampowered.com/app/3897520/Pazleum/ 🙏 #indiedev #indiegamedev

I think it's an awesome contrast. The music feels very human in scale and it feel a bit calm.

This is probably the way, but how to stop torturing yourself? I'm still working on that bit haha

This sounds sooo cool! I really enjoy watching you work on audio stuff because I feel like it expands my ideas about what is possible.

I am so curious to hear what you mean. Would you ever be willing to share a before/after for the trial and error to make the audio feel good?

I've decided to un-deprecate <b> and <i> html tags.

No screenshot saturday for me this weekend. I'm laboring in the art mines on an <i>awesome</i> commission with a hard deadline this week. I'll cook up a fun project peek for you (I already know what I wanna share) for next weekend!

I also came here to also comment on the champions (well more than 200 of them?!) who are obsessed with your game. Having that huge peak at the right side of the graph is spectacular. Congrats!!!

A screenshot of a work in progress UE5 game showing a 90s desk and a beige crt terminal with moody lighting.

It's not Saturday, but I'm trying. Here's a little "beauty lighting" I've been experimenting with on the terminal. A nice little bloom there giving it a bit of nostalgic glow.

Btw, this is the first screenshot since I switched to Forward+!

@eternalskiestcg.bsky.social Just want to thank you for all the work you put in on making great feeds. I look at your feeds more than anything else on Bluesky!

I forgot that you can see the current game time in the top left of the screenshot even!

A screenshot of Project Data Mind from in Unreal Engine. It shows a mockup level with a placeholder gray grid material on all the 3D objects. In the foreground is a cabinet of input decks on a shelf against the wall, beyond it is a switch with screens above it, and further beyond that is some large open windows with yellow light coming out of them. In the background the hallway curves out of sight and some small ceiling lights illuminate the dark part of the hallway.

This week I made a time manager! It's cool for coding reasons, but it also inspired me to add some details to the input decks. The screens, bars, & locks will all animate in conjunction with the larger system!

These decks are inspired by AV equipment racks!

Ohhh interesting. I'd expect a tone a bit more formal, perhaps even a bit stuffy or antiquated. It almost makes me think of a rich non-adventuring wealthy author writing about their disconnected notion of what a traveling adventurer might experience.

Thank you soo much! That's just what I was aiming for (in a kind of NASA photography way)
