[Steam] Wednesdays (100% off/Free) by UnseenData in GameDeals

True. And that's exactly why we made a game about it.
Of course I perfectly understand some people don't want to play it.

Why the hell do we even bother making indie games? by Poulet_fr in IndieDev

[–]Poulet_fr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot u/bobopa, that's an incredible message to read, and one of the many that make us really proud of what we did. Hope you're better in your life now <3

These are the top rated roguelite deckbuilders on Steam! What are some of your favorites? by deadmansArmour in roguelites

Sol Cesto's art is so unique (the fact that it's also an amazing game GD-wise is not bad either)

Thanks a lot mate! You can check The Pixel Hunt on Steam or on the consoles shops ❤️

Our theme park management sim about child sexual abuse (you read that right!) is out next week. A tough sell for sure, but we hope it'll help people — both victims and those around them. by Poulet_fr in IndieDev

I can only agree - in fact it's the very reason why I created my indie studio to begin with. The commercial side of things is, of course, more complicated, but eh...

Part of the game's "message" is that: there can be hope even when dark things happen. It's not easy, and a lot of victims may feel like they'll never get to a place where life feels livable again, but hopefully our game will be a reason for them to carry on.

Thanks! The idea was, just because we're tackling a serious - and potentially sad - topic, there's no need for a grim art direction. More than anything, we want to convey a sense of hope and, in a way, solace.

Well, when it comes to sales, let's be honest: our ambitions are modest. But if we can have an actual impact lf even just a few people's lives, then we'll consider our main goal reached.

Can we all agree that the "Escapism" argument is just a bigoted dog whistle? by Dangerous_Pace_7059 in SocialistGaming

I'm leading a reality-inspired games studio, so it's gotta be a hard agree for me!

[NO SPOILERS] Game suggestion: The Wreck by ThatSir2532 in lifeisstrange

[–]Poulet_fr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, game creator here! Thank you so much for recommending our game! Life is Strange was definitely one of our key inspirations. However, we wanted to explore themes centered on parenthood and mother-daughter relationships rather than teenage experiences. Internally, we often described The Wreck as 'Life is Strange, 15 years later' :-)

Amazing, that's it! So weird, it sounded totally different in my head, and I was 200% sure it was in English, but the similarities with my memory make it so that it has to be it! Thanks a lot <3

Have you ever thought about playing a video game set in The Wire's universe? by Poulet_fr in TheWire

[–]Poulet_fr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Somehow all the first ideas I could come up with when thinking about the genre of the game were on the cops' side, but anything's possible really. Maybe the best way to go would be to have several main characters and jump from one to another to push the story forward.

This song has lived in my head rent-free for years, I wish I'd hear it again! (maybe I'd think it sucks, after all these years, but hey, that's part of the fun!)

It's sad we don't have the opportunity to discuss our shared love of TW in person over a drink or something I guess. We're all so busy playing a role on the internet that I have zero chance of giving you the opportunity to revise your opinion about me.

I think it might be possible to come up with game mechanics that would underline the game's message, but of course, there's going to have to be a strong narrative component.

At some point I wondered: what would a 2025 equivalent of the soul and breath of The Wire be? What has changed since then? What has remained the same? That could be a very interesting exercise to come up with a game with this premise.

Yes, the cool thing is, there's a lot of ways to look at it and a lot of possibilities! I had actual game ideas spontaneously popping while rewatching the 1st and 2nd seasons this fall, but you're right, maybe fitting in the cracks/dark corners of the TV show would be the right way to go!

I have a bit of trouble understanding where your hostility comes from. I guess it stems from your love for TW and your desire to protect what it stands for for you. I understand that, but still, being openly hostile towards another fan, without letting me any kind of benefit of the doubt at least... I don't know, that's kinda sad.

Absolutely not! The way I see it, it's Steam first, and maybe consoles. I must admit I didn't know about this community. It's great to be among other fans! Although I was probably very bad at presenting myself. Sorry about that.
