I'm convinced that flag button does nothing and is just automatically removed after a period of time.

Our kid friendly cozy jigsaw puzzle game had 3 reviews saying a variation of r word our mom and flag did nothing. I had to spend a couple weeks arguing with support to get them removed.

Not saying 1500 is huge and there are plenty of streamers in that range that will drive sales. Just saying popularity doesn't always equate sales. You have to know the community you are marketing to.

Once a larger (around 1500 viewers) streamer played out game, we didn't even notice a change. However when a 200 view streamer played it we got like 50 sales from it. A tighter nit community will be more involved.

People watching 30,000+ view streamers just want to throw money at a millionaire.

That's just bad marketing. If you have that kind of money don't blow it all on one big name, spread it around to a TON of medium streamers. Big names are watched for the name, smaller/medium are also watched for the games. Plus having many streamers at once increases the ranking on trending.

Unsettling Horror Game Horses Banned From Steam, Leaving Studio With 'High Risk' of Closure - IGN Indie horror game Horses is preparing to launch on December 2, on the Epic Games Store, GOG, Itch.io, and the Humble Store. But one place it won't be is on Steam, because Steam has banned the game for...

Really wild situation here: a celebrated and well-regarded indie dev and publisher is facing shutdown because Valve banned their game from Steam and won't talk to them about it, at all.

I really hate monopoly platforms that have this much control over other people's content, while skimming off the top of everyone's earnings.

Seriously I think all "gig economy" sites should be illegal.

Dev here, it's actually a bit complex. The main puzzle is multiple combined static immovable meshes. When pieces are moved they are temporary physics pieces that get merged back in once settled.

This fixes that problem and allows 10,000+ unique shaped pieces to be drawn at once with high FPS.

was trying to explain what makes Jigsaw Puzzle Dreams so good to a friend and I feel like saying "full physics jigsaw pieces" always undersells it

you can even move the pieces to anywhere else in the house and complete the puzzle on the floor or in the kitchen sink if you wanted

No - "youtube money" isn't massive for most creators - just because the outliers are making millions, your average medium, and even medium-large creators can very easily have multiple videos or even series that return less than minimum wage. ESPECIALLY when we take the time to cover pet projects.

i donโ€™t get why, if you like the work of a known predator, do you need to keep calling the victims of that predator a liar and attacking them?
like canโ€™t you just consume that media without acting like you have to protect the moral purity of it, or protect the creepy person that made it?
