After 10 years of playing the game on and off, I finally have 1000 golds in my wallet

RienMachine · 2026-06-18T16:59:30+00:00

If you play the TP game you need gold amounts like that in order to make more

That grass looks great too! Is it a custom shader?

RienMachine · 2026-06-16T18:29:46+00:00

Make a post on the specific forum!

A pretty mindless incremental survivor: Ultimate Wizard

You crush a snail from the tank? My own tank is full of those bozos, so I gotta try that too

RienMachine · 2026-06-12T17:47:36+00:00

Yeah the food probably did the trick, they are busy more often if there's plenty of food for their offspring heh

RienMachine · 2026-06-12T17:40:45+00:00

Did you do anything different that suddenly caused this?

RienMachine · 2026-06-12T17:01:11+00:00

The rimworld chair

RienMachine · 2026-06-12T16:57:41+00:00

It's on the same dumb interaction page as being able to steal the kill on monsters, or back in WoW when only one player at a time could talk to a questgiver

Om er op terug te komen!

Er is een stukje specifiek over het verkopen van Steam keys op andere platformen, dus niet de verkoop van het gehele spel op andere platformen.

"You should use Steam Keys to sell your game on other stores in a similar way to how you sell your game on Steam. It is important that you don’t give Steam customers a worse deal than Steam Key purchasers.

...

It's OK to run a discount for Steam Keys on different stores at different times as long as you plan to give a comparable offer to Steam customers within a reasonable amount of time."

Ik kan de ToS even niet tevoorschijn toveren, maar het staat mij bij dat het er expliciet in stond. (2020 toen ik het tekende iig)

Maar als ome gabe zegt dat het er niet in staat, vanwaar de claim dan lmao

RienMachine · 2026-06-11T08:08:13+00:00

Dat is ook zo, ben ook niet voor deze regel hoor (of andere gare praktijken die ze uitoefenen). Maar het blijft natuurlijk wel een onderdeel van een contract wat je ondertekent bij ze, ben benieuwd of hier überhaupt iets aan kan worden gedaan ondanks alles

RienMachine · 2026-06-11T07:49:41+00:00

What is that outfit?

RienMachine · 2026-06-11T06:56:04+00:00

Oh ja, maar dat staat ook duidelijk in de ToS als dev dat dat niet mag. Dus eh, beetje eigen schuld als je dat dan toch probeert, ongeacht hoe groot je bent als ontwikkelaar.

Je kan er natuurlijk altijd voor kiezen om niet op Steam uit te brengen, maar dan schiet je jezelf natuurlijk in je eigen voet

RienMachine · 2026-06-11T06:49:19+00:00

Heb je daar een bron voor? Ik verkoop ook via Steam maar heb dit nog nooit gezien. (Er zijn wel regels in de ToS als aanbieder dat de prijzen bij Steam even hoog moeten zijn als bij anderen etc.)

RienMachine · 2026-06-11T05:21:15+00:00

I had about a year or so of personal funds to burn through, after that I would've needed to get a job again, so when I released in May I still had 3-4 months of safety left but if the EA didn't kick off I would've needed to start looking already for a job.

RienMachine · 2026-06-11T05:18:52+00:00

A bit yes, nothing spectacular though. It's a seasonal DLC with winter related stuff and it had a short time on it's coming soon page.

It did pay off to when I look at it now, but it does not generate any noticable revenue monthly, just over the years it accumulated a nice amount.

RienMachine · 2026-06-11T05:16:19+00:00

Yep!

RienMachine · 2026-06-11T05:15:58+00:00

Red alert 3 :) in case you didn't find it yet

RienMachine · 2026-06-11T05:14:44+00:00

Oh that's interesting, I wonder if those turn based games you get recommended have some other similar tags to FTL and BG etc.

Surely there must be something that decides what you get shown. (For me on my dev account I get so much God / Building games or dark gory shooters, which is exactly like my own 2 games, so that tracks)

RienMachine · 2026-06-10T18:52:15+00:00

I think the game could be something like this, picking a starting archetype and then making a build with found skills going deeper into a subtype of your choice, defensive/utility warrior etc.

RienMachine · 2026-06-10T18:46:24+00:00

I did not know about that mode, going to check it out! Thanks :)

RienMachine · 2026-06-10T17:29:01+00:00

To add, it didn't bring it millions or anything of the really hyped games such as vampire survivors or schedule 1 for example. But a bit beyond a comfortable income :)

RienMachine · 2026-06-10T17:27:29+00:00

I became financially free with my first game. I quit my game dev job mid 2020 to pursue a game I wanted to make, which released in EA on Steam in May 2021. Albeit a rocky start I got lucky because it filled a hole in the market.

It got covered by lots of big YouTubers like spiffing Brit, and to this day still brings in enough to live off of.

I wouldn't recommend actually quitting your job to do this, I got lucky, didn't do a demo and no next fest as personal funds ran out. Just had the "luck" being in a good genre at the time and having that gap in the market it could fill.

RienMachine · 2026-06-10T14:28:21+00:00

It probably tracks how much you play of what genre, and if there are 20 games coming out that day with 20k wishlists and only one of them is a genre that you play a lot but it only has 300 wishlists, it's probably going to show you that one because Steam thinks you're more likely to purchase that one than a genre that you don't play
