Mr #PitchYaGame ( November 7th )

Know what makes #PitchYaGame special?!

Seeing games from ALL over the world.

Plus..
Zero cost to enter.

All eyes on for 2 days of the year.

It trends. Providing a much needed spotlight. (Sadly not everyone)

Been an incredible 5 years. 😌

Just want to add also, that it's OK not to have anything "new" to show.

#GameDev isn't a linear path, and as we all know is a lot of work.

It should also be done healthily, not at cost of yourself, or those around you.

Besides, can always come back stronger next June. 💪

For those that don't know what PYG is... where have you been for the last 5 years?!. 🤭 Only jesting..

PYG is a twice per year celebration of #IndieGames from all across the world. 🥳

In a nutshell: elevator pitch(es) in a post.

We are now once again, just over 30 days away from #PitchYaGame.

↘️ November 7th, 2025! 👀

Let's try making this next round the biggest one ever?! 🥰

a close up of a stuffed monkey wearing a green shirt and blue jeans . Alt: The image shows a still from the "Monkey Puppet" meme, also known as the "Awkward Look Monkey" meme. It features a puppet from the Brazilian children's show Mundo de Beakman (Beakman's World).

Paralives rn.

Ok so there WAS an issue with customers A I; fixed.

And another related to first time play and audio settings data; also fixed.

That's the important part about including this as part of your dev cycle, it will throw up issues you won't typically see when playing in editor.

Best part is it all works as intended including save / load (with a few fixable quirks). Winning.

There were issues with two of the structs.

Essentially I had to..
1. rename the offending struct vars on the BPIs
2. recompile and rewire any refs to said vars

This fixed all errors and the compile finished in a few minutes when repackaging. 😌

2 hours later and I have a completed windows build / package weighing in at 2gb.. that most importantly.. works.

Take this as your cue to go test build / #PackageYaGame! 😅

a man says i just wish you would have in a netflix advertisement Alt: Source: The image is a GIF from the Netflix show Beef, starring Steven Yeun. Character: Steven Yeun is portraying his character Danny Cho. Context: The phrase "I JUST WISH YOU WOULD HAVE" is often used to convey a sense of longing for a different past action or outcome. Emotional Tone: The expression on Steven Yeun's face, combined with the text, suggests a moment of contemplation or sadness.

#GameDev is waiting 50 minutes for ya build to fail. 😤

Breaking: Tomorrow #Hades2 goes into 1.0 release..

So, once again in the spirit of #PitchYaGame, let's celebrate and spotlight people making Rogue likes, lites or anything in-between.

Share them via the #PitchYaRogue hashtag. 🥰

Hah yeah, I love that feeling! 🥰

If you don't, you should. Pause, take a moment to observe your creations in their whole, because what we do is "literal" magic. 🔥

Yo #GameDev, you ever just feel like a genius?! 😎👌

Which is the biggest reason why we stopped doing the showcases, because by the time the events over and the vids / pages are out, everyone's moved on, back to business.

The best thing we can do is to just show up on the day(s) and keep shining that spotlight.

Just as a further heads-up after reviewing the stats. There wont be any further pages being created for future PYG related movements, as unfortunately there is very little added value.

PYG has and always will be strongest when its mission is about eyeballs on the day(s).

It's just like #PitchYaGame but for roguelikes, roguelites and anything in between to pitch. Not much more info needed.

Just look out for future announcement(s) on the day.

What are you doing this weekend—
oh not much; sick, watching the fall of humanity. 💔

Even more-so when it comes to blueprints / visual coding.

One thing you will learn in #GameDev is that often what looks logical doesn't always work as you might expect.

Debug is your friend. 🫡

human/ity 💔

No problem. Yeah it's cos it's longer, if you have a newer / better one, ideally squarer [4:3], if you upload it to Steam I can link it from there.

no regerts

22. There's still 59 days till PYG. It's encouraged to use it as an opportunity to provide a snapshot of where you're already at VS trying to speed-run a load of progression / updates.

Pitch ya sitch.

Great tips for Indie marketing in general!

21. Make sure your bio is up-to-date.
Old links? Links actually working? Pinned still relevant?

Once people see your pitch, the next place they're likely to visit is your bio. Make sure it does you justice.
