How many household objects have to suffer before a monster gets a convincing sound effect? #gamedev

Now that Steam Next Fest is over, which demo are you still thinking about? Not the one with the longest feature list. The one that made you forget you were playing a demo. #SteamNextFest #gamedev

A button says 'Go' and the UI looks finished. Then localization arrives with a word that needs its own parking space. #gamedev

A gamedev's idea folder: 40 games that would each change the industry. A gamedev's current project: 4 finished features and a settings menu that doesn't open. #gamedev

The AI debate in Steam Next Fest keeps missing a step. 'Made with AI' covers everything from a fully generated game to one AI-assisted texture. Until we talk about how much and where, the complaints and the defenses are both shouting at shadows. #SteamNextFest #gamedev

Every indie game ships with at least one bug the developer officially renames 'a feature'. It's in the patch notes and everything. #gamedev

Next Fest devs, time to share the receipts. Drop your wishlist numbers below, from before the Fest and right now. Every number helps another dev calibrate their own. #SteamNextFest #indiedev

You know you're a gamedev when you can't play a game anymore without thinking 'I wonder how they did that' every thirty seconds. #gamedev #indiedev

The problem with playtesting your own game is that you already know where the door is, so you walk straight to it and declare the level design flawless. #gamedev #indiedev

Next Fest tip: the real demo is the one you play for ten minutes, close, then spend three days thinking about. Wishlist that one. #SteamNextFest #gamedev

Unity has a button for everything, so why is there no button that makes the game fun? I keep clicking around anyway, just in case. #Unity3D #gamedev

ChatGPT, market my game. MAKE NO MISTAKES

Every indie dev ships two games: the one in their head and the one on the Steam page. Wishlist Wednesday is when you find out how far apart they are. #WishlistWednesday #gamedev

Steam Next Fest devs: share your demo in the replies and I will help give it some visibility. I do not have a demo of my own, so I will have more time to check yours out. #SteamNextFest #indiedev

Steam Next Fest: 8,000+ demos, one week, players deciding in 30 seconds. AI helps everyone ship faster. It does not help anyone stand out among everyone else shipping faster. #gamedev #SteamNextFest

AI can write code, draw art and compose music for a game in minutes. It still cannot decide which of your 40 half-finished features is worth shipping. That job stays with the solo dev. #gamedev

Yesterday was my first tweet seen by more than 2,000 people. The result: one sale and one wishlist. Time to make my Steam page more appealing. #indiedev #gamedev
