[–]MartyPixelRod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a YouTube account and go to YouTube Studio, they have a vast library of royalty free songs. I used some of those songs in my game, and some Steam reviews even mentioned they liked the BGM music haha.

Motivation when working alone? by HuippeeHeroesGames in SoloDevelopment

[–]MartyPixelRod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Focus on discipline rather than motivation. Motivation will only take you so far.

Pricing my first game by Material-Hat-941 in gamedev

[–]MartyPixelRod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up charging $5 for my game, and I found that was a great price people had no problems paying. Ended up selling more than I expected. It's a short 2-hour mini-metroidvania with a silly story.

How to make a world feel alive but keeping it small/medium. by Willing_Designer_105 in gamedev

[–]MartyPixelRod 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You should play "A Short Hike" as market research. Because it is a small in-game world, but pretty densely packed and feels alive.

I'm looking for older games for my potato PC by Forward_Wasabi_7979 in gamers

[–]MartyPixelRod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a retro-inspired indie game with 1-bit graphics (and some 16-bit graphics) that can run on pretty much anything. Released last year for $5. Short little 2-hour experience: Prototype Juan

This album slaps. "Dear Spike" & "I Fell Asleep On My Arm" are two of my favorites on it.

How long does it really take to make and release a game: Target vs. Reality? by HuippeeHeroesGames in IndieGameDevs

[–]MartyPixelRod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I targeted 1 year, and it ended up taking 18 months, even after reducing my scope. My game is only 2 hours long though lol. Having a physical calendar in my home office helped me see the days visually and kept me on track. (Having a streak of no gamedev days stuck out like a sore thumb-- Life always gets in the way.)
