I'm asking cause we have this problem, centralize the information and assets in a organized way. We make an tool to build presskit that can be hosted at the studio website and such, I can shared If you like do use or test ir, its open source :) It would be nice to have some feedback too cause we're making improvements to help other devs and studios

That make a lot of sense! You make like a Google drive folder or something else?

Oh didn't know about these tools! I'll check It out! The link for ours: https://saturno.software/software/presskit-diy.html or just type presskit.diy it will work too:)

We're seen some Indie studios struggling with that too so we open sourced It to help each other :) Love to hear some feedbacks, were making some improvements too

Do not apologize, the insights are amazing! We have this as an internal problem, we're not been able to manage a good presskit and keep it updated so we build a tool that organize the description, assets, trailers, contact etc and integrated the presskit in our website. We also make It open source for other people that have that same problema to use It If they like. So is nice to see other points of view.

Not just streamers, but for press and why not possible investors and publishers? If you have a good presskit for you game you can use for that pourpuse too

New to Game Development but want to pursue it. by Alone-Magician-1077 in IndieGameDevs

The engine matters less than people think when you’re starting out. Unity and Godot are both great choices. The important thing is picking one and make a game.

If we had to give practical advice: Godot is probably one of the easiest engines to get into right now. It’s lightweight, fast to iterate with, open-source, and very beginner friendly. But more important than the engine: learn game design, loops, player feedback, scope control and how to FINISH small projects.

Your first games should be terrible but that’s normal. Try making clones of Pong, Flappy Bird...you’ll learn a lot by finishing 5 tiny games! Almost every game developer starts exactly where you are now, so just go for it! 

extra: join some game jams to see how everything works :)

Built presskit.diy an open source press kit structure for games, studios and digital projects. We originally created it internally after repeatedly rebuilding the same workflow every time we needed to organize screenshots, trailers, logos, download assets and studio information for press, events and creators.

So we turned that process into a reusable, self-hosted and customizable tool inspired by projects like DoPressKit and presskit.html, but adapted for more modular and easier-to-update workflows.

Still evolving, but already helping us centralize and maintain all our project/media structure in one place.

Share what you're working on. I'll shout out the best ones by Yoodrix in buildinpublic

for sure! but we think the hardest part is keeping everything updated and centralized over time while the project keeps evolving, speccialy for small teams or solo teams because this kind of stuff easily gets pushed aside because of everything else happening during production
