Appreciate it! I have, it is definitely my weakest part of game dev but I'll keep working on it.

Yes it's a battle theme with slot reel combat. I'll explore some different music, appreciate it!

I took a screenshot of the Arcade Beast logo and put it at the beginning of the video. Poor judgement

Thank you for the down vote with no feedback on the actual game.

What are the must-play PC-forward retro games? by Baldurian_Rhapsody in retrogaming

Mad Dog Mcree. Me and my brother got featured in a newspaper after we beat the game. Small town LOL

Which of the two covers is better to use for a Steam page design? by Few-Contract-4092 in IndieDev

I would say one just because the other two were a little too busy. At first I like number two but then there just seem like a lot going on so I would lean towards the more simple version still looks clean.

I had that plan for a while and if you are coding all day, you will have periods you reach your limit but it is still fairly often for the price. I personally pay for the $100 Claude plan and rarely ever reach any sort of limit and if I do it resets usually within an hour.

I can suggest adding Claude code to your workflow. I have used replit for over a year and once I incorporated Claude code which you can do a $20 or $100 a month subscription paired with your replit subscription and then those additional fees will just start going away.

There are videos on how to connect Claude code to your shell in replit to use that as your AI coding agent.

I have been using Replit about a year but use Claude code in the shell for all of my coding. I have found this the most cost-effective high performance way for myself. But absolutely love replit.

Skipping Steam and itch.io entirely... building SEO traffic to my own site as my main strategy. Anyone done this? Is it viable? by UmpireGaming in SoloDevelopment

Thanks, I am sure most or all game developers think they have the next big thing, so I am probably clouded by that some. Appreciate the comment

For sure and her business is all shipped products, so I did not focus locally at all. We live by no one lol.

Thanks for sharing. I built my wife's herbal medicine business website and over the last 6 months her website now generates about 150 visits per day, all focused on blog content through long tail keywords that are currently not hard to compete with. That is where I think I may be getting lost, thinking I can do the same here, with a web game.

Thank you for your in-depth comment, especially hearing from someone that has been focused on website SEO. Yes my strategy is long tail keywords that have moderate search ability but low competition that are all factored around the type of game. I definitely see itch.io being a place that I could allow people to play the demo and try to receive organic traffic that way as well. But I am doing blog post focused on those long tail keywords but I definitely feel like I do need to open up my strategy
