🎥 Why is a simple video like this Dev Diary so special?
I honestly don’t get why more projects don’t make content like this — it works incredibly well. 💡🔥

👀 Is it too much to ask for videos like this… but featuring games like #Expedition33?

Really liked the simple reveal of the new #Valve hardware yesterday.
First impression: not a fan of the controller’s look 😅 — but gotta feel it first to judge.
Regardless of price, everything it’s a day-one buy… if stock allows!🎮🔥

Just finished Dispatch! 🎬🔥
What an absolute gem of a game. It already looked amazing in the first trailer, and I came in with high expectations — yet it completely shattered them (in the best way). 💥🎮
Now it’s time to replay it until I hit that 100% achievements 😄🏆
What bugged me most about yesterday’s Japan State of Play wasn’t the lineup — totally focused on the local market with no big reveals 🇯🇵🎮
What really pissed me off was that the new monitor is only coming out in the USA and Japan! 😤🖥️💢
#StateOfPlay #PlayStation
📚 Just added The Art of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 to my collection.
As a dev, I love studying how visual direction and storytelling blend in projects like this. Truly inspiring stuff.💡🎨

🎮 It’s been a while since I’ve had such a satisfying day making progress on my games — feels great! 😄
Now I just need that same energy when it’s time to actually write a devlog about it. 😂✍️

🖥️ This week’s trending picks hit right for the PC purist — FM and Europa on top.⚽🌍
Whiskerwood caught my eye… not sure if it’s the cute animals 🐾 or something else behind it.
And arriving “late” with a copy of a copy? Sometimes it works... Mall Simulator 😅
#Steam #Gaming
And more Game Boy games keep showing up on Kickstarter, with physical edition available. 🎮📦
Lunar Mystery 2103 got me with its synopsis… but lost me with the art style and the type of puzzles it shows.

That moment when you’re watching something and suddenly have to pause it just to write down a new idea for your game. 🎮✍️
Tell me I’m not the only one doing this constantly. 😅
🐾 Naughty Dog just dropped a short video celebrating its 40th anniversary 🎉
A must-watch for anyone who loves games or creates them — 40 years of creativity, evolution, and pure storytelling magic. 🎮🔥

🎥 Great example of valuable content for game devs on YouTube.
And no — you don’t have to agree 100% to learn something from it. 😉

💬 Discord — Haven’t really joined any dev communities there yet. Am I missing another platform worth exploring? 🤔
04.11.2025 11:00 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0🔴 YouTube — I just use it for the channels I follow, so I can’t judge its recommendations. But when you find a good creator, it really adds up.
04.11.2025 11:00 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0🔵 Twitter vs 🔷 Bluesky — The algorithm difference is huge. Twitter tailors my feed in a day; Bluesky still feels random after weeks (and way more politics). Also, Twitter has an overwhelming amount of pixel art 🎨
04.11.2025 11:00 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0🟣 Twitch — I watch some streams out of curiosity, but it doesn’t go beyond that.
04.11.2025 11:00 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0🔶 Substack — Not much dev content, but great artistic voices discussing narrative and creativity in gaming — things you rarely see elsewhere.
04.11.2025 11:00 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0👾 Reddit — A massive jungle. Too many silly posts at the top, but lots of devs openly sharing Steam metrics and personal insights. Can be gold if you dig deep.
04.11.2025 11:00 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0💚 Kickstarter — Fascinating variety. Aside from a few great exceptions, most projects are tiny 1–4k goals, some actually succeed. I see more quality elsewhere (and more opportunists here 😅).
04.11.2025 11:00 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0✍️ Medium — At first, all I saw was content about AI. But after some days, the algorithm started showing devs, small studios, and niche journalists. Now I find at least one solid article a day.
04.11.2025 11:00 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0🧵 My first impressions as an indie dev across different platforms:
🎮 itch.io — Too much NSFW and low-quality stuff, but also tons of valuable gems. Takes time to find interesting profiles, yet the feed keeps getting better. Haven’t even posted my own devlogs yet.
🕹️ I love retro stuff, but not enough to grab a Vectrex Mini from 1982 😅
Still, it’s absolutely crushing it on #Kickstarter, and honestly… I’m not mad about it 👏

🎙️ I’d love to see more content like this — a dev talking passionately about their game for a while (30 min in this case), unscripted and genuine.
Just uploading it anywhere already means a lot for the niche audience that cares. ❤️

💻 Trying out Zed IDE — should I test it with Godot, Unity, or both? 🤔
Both projects are small, so I might not feel that “blazing speed,” but let’s see if it surprises me.
Been on VS Code forever (still using Sublime hotkeys 😅).

🛠️ Almost every day there are new free assets out there — today on the Unity Store you can grab some sci-fi props and medieval weapons. ⚔️
I’m tired of scrolling through Itch.io devlogs that make my eyes bleed. 😅

🎉 Unity is hosting a Game Jam for its 20th anniversary!
Love seeing this kind of event — but since you can use pre-made code, assets, or even AI tools, I’m curious to see what debates (and results) it sparks 👀

If someone who knows nothing about games saw this trailer, they’d probably think “what a load of crap.” 💩🎮
But it’s hard to spot when something has real soul and quality ✨
We need more #DevolverDigital and even more #LookOutsideGame🔥
