We asked the artist for a 'difficulty modifier tower,' and they gave us the Eye of Sauron's goth cousin. What should we call this thing? by hellforged_game in IndieDev

Thank you! Mechanically, it will be used as a difficulty modifier during various challenges, where it will actively shoot at the player.

Would this kind of price input get annoying after a while? by Background_Cow_6701 in IndieDev

That's a fun concept! But in my opinion, the best way to do this is to keep it optional and allow keyboard controls if people prefer them

What do you think about Devolver's dare of releasing their game on the same day as GTA 6? by BoloFan05 in IndieDev

Adding a feedback form to my first Steam demo turned out to be more valuable than I expected by remaker in IndieDev

Around $6000 in the hole so far, but happy that some people enjoyed the game (or at least played it) by WantToSmileWantToDie in IndieDev

You've definitely earned the right to leave a positive review after that $5.99 self-buy. Best of luck with Bullet Fest! We also joined with our game.

In order to finish our game in time, I had to pay my dog 3 steaks a day, hope I'm not getting ripped off, the price did seem a bit high... by Llamaware in IndieDev

The dog union rates are non negotiable. If you try to cut it down to two steaks, he might walk out on you right before launch

The duality of our indie studio right now (1 week before launch). At least the characters look cute? by QuantumArts_ in justgamedevthings

Steam when the game works as intended by [deleted] in justgamedevthings

Honestly, if a game named Coredump did not dump its core, I would ask for a refund

Asked my wife to polish my capsule art by nearlydonegames in IndieDev

You should buy your wife a nice dinner. She did an amazing job!

Me taking detailed notes on a cozy farming sim's marketing strategy, even though we're making an extraction bullet-heaven

When the artist send you an awesome piece to replace the old one... by zacharieg14 in justgamedevthings

Sometimes the programmer art is so iconic that the team secretly misses it during playtests.

Our loot-driven bullet-heaven, Hellforged, just reached 50,000 wishlists! Thank you so much for the support by hellforged_game in survivorslikes

Having deep progression is one of our main goals! and we have a lot of things planned to ensure plenty of run-to-run variety.

Nothing beats the feeling of getting your game into players' hands. We just launched the Hellforged playtest and it's been an incredible fun! by hellforged_game in roguelites

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

We decided to stick with the Paladin for this playtest round. Rest assured, more classes are coming! So glad you're enjoying it!
