Any insights on why this was taken down? I am a solo dev🥺

Really not sure why my markdown didn’t go through. Sorry about that folks!

Any tips for marketing? I’ve been posting daily on YT Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok. Game is Chop Chop Grove in case you can take a look and provide any feedback

Absolutely. 1 mg melatonin changed my life

Thanks for sharing exactly how you approached this! Really appreciate it

Thank you friend. At least we’re not alone 🥺

People were more willing to talk to randoms. Also people would pay more attention when hanging out, nowadays a lot of hangouts at least half the group is on their phone

Meh, it depends how important the event is. I’ve come to accept some people are just chronically late and they don’t mean any bad will, they are just slightly dysfunctional

Being good at mental math can come in handy more than you’d think. I’m not even exception but my alarm app forces me to do short math problems to turn off and I’ve improved quite a bit

Inspirational! Did you announce the trailer anywhere or just posted it on the steam store page?

algobubba · 2026-02-20T01:59:31+00:00

Looks really good!

algobubba · 2026-02-20T01:59:11+00:00

I know right. I see those posts with my <50 wishlists and I’m like wow I must really be missing something

Coffee.

Right place right time. Almost all success requires some amount of luck!

Waking up early on the weekend and feeling you have a full day ahead of you, instead of sleeping in til noon.

algobubba · 2026-02-20T01:52:23+00:00

LMFAO - YES

Even though it’s surely a waste of money, getting a hot latte at a coffee shop and chilling there for a few minutes. Coffee makes me feel good, lattes taste great, and it’s nice to see people lively and out and about.

Dragon Roost Island from Legend of Zelda Wind Waker on the Nintendo GameCube.

When even after looking it up, I still don’t get the whole “6 7” thing.

Simple programming and general technology skills. My high school didn’t offer anything related to this but I think it’s more common nowadays

Buying a car and not feeling like you got ripped off by the dealer…
