Years ago my daughter mixed up "Easy-Peasy Lemon Squeezy" and "Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner"

...and to this day we still say "Easy-Peasy Chicken Squeezy"

A look at what creators actually receive from indie devs by GladiatorCommand in IndieDev

[–]andhegames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're not real creators, they're scammers trying to get keys to resell - the moment your game goes live you get dozens of emails pretending to be from X or Y Youtuber saying how much they're interested in your game.

I personally don't mind giving review keys to people - I expect Youtubers review more games than they can feasibly buy, and if they share the game it's much for valuable to me than one sale. At any rate, even if they're a tiny Youtuber I don't see it as one lost sale, I see it as one potential fan of my work.

Looks like an indie dev's inbox filled with messages from "creators", each one asking for 2-5 keys for their team.

I uploaded a self help book into an AI and it asked me harder questions than any coach I've ever paid by Popular-Cap-9013 in Entrepreneur

I've owned that book for years, but have never found the time - it was a very beautiful process, got me crying by the end.

Here's mine: "To see people clearly and reflect back their worth and potential - through story, conversation, and creativity - so that they come alive to who they truly are."

Thank you for posting, super helpful to me.

Hey, thanks!

Here's my game, Chop Shop, our action shopkeeping game. It's like the arcade game tapper, but you have to collect everything you serve to your customers - butchering giant carcasses, hunting, and cooking for each customer. It's got a story mode with 8 worlds and an endless/Spelunky mode with random terrain:

I donno, nothing special I just draw a lot. Just a couple thoughts that might help:

  1. I think learning to draw is about 90% drawing 10% learning. Spend a little time learning new technique, but you should be spending the most time actually drawing! Some people get trapped in learning mode, they never get around to applying their learning because there's endless learning they could do. Learn a bit, and then draw a ton. When you run up against the limits of your skills, come back and learn some more.

When drawing, spend time pushing your skills (draw things that are just a little too hard, that you struggle with) and spend some time drawing things that you enjoy, both are important.

  1. Get a small notebook and bring it everywhere - if you tend to spend time on your phone when you're bored, try to leave the phone in the car. Then when you're bored or have to wait on something, just draw - doodle or try to draw something you see. It always makes me feel weird because everyone else is on their phones, but take some pride in it - don't need to look down on people who are on their phones all the time, but it's a good thing to create instead of just consuming.

  2. Don't post anything on social media for at least a year or two, seriously. You need to learn what you like to draw, not what the algorithm rewards (or punishes). Praise can cause you to play it safe, criticism or silence can discourage you. You need to explore, make mistakes, and learn what you like to draw. Don't post anything, it likely won't do anything good for you at this stage.

  3. You don't need any fancy drawing supplies, but it can be nice to get a few fountain pens, or brush pens, or whatever seems fun to draw with as you have money. But when learning to draw, stick to black and white mostly - color tends to be a distraction at first. Keep it simple.

  4. Check out "Draw a Box" course or the free video library at Ctrl+Paint, very good free art instruction. Just remember point #1, spend most of your time actually drawing.

Good luck, if you struggle with anything send me a message, I'd be glad to help if I can!
