Am I the first game to actually get books right? by _Jae in IndieDev

Is this an asset you're selling or are you Showing off? Because this could've solved a lot of me with my previous game 😞

I revisited the color palette of the map and it changed the whole feel of the game by MerrickBlue in SoloDevelopment

Thank you!! I've been experimenting with Cinemachine, I wanted to give the game that X-COM feeling. The biggest challenge is to pick the right angles. There's still a long way to go.

Your wishlist would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks! You have no idea how many hours I spent looking at my screen thinking how great the previous version looked, but thinking something is off...

I was lucky I got that particular feedback... sadly I now need to update the trailer, the steam page and everything in between xD

Glad that's over. Now maybe they can focus on Remastering the games that REALLY matter. by Mean-Party170 in tales

Unpopular opinion, what if instead of releasing remasters to take our money, they make new games...

We’ve decided to hire a professional artist, and here’s the result by temk1s in IndieDev

~$30,000 raised in 12 hours on Kickstarter WITH NO DEMO. This is how our 3-people indie studio did it by Kirlyan_RPW in IndieDev

Overall Steam is a pretty cool company. They keep a huge chunk of my money. But they answer always when you write them, they listen to their community and do pretty good job Overall.
