Our game demo is out for Steam Next Fest but no one knows about it. We hope you can help us reach our audience! #rhythmgame #indiegame #roguelike #musicgame

still kinda on break, please wishlist my game in the meantime! #gamedev #indiedev

Next Fest is really demonstrating the curse of the idea guy. Anyone can have an idea or steal one, but to make it good means living with it, working it, exploring it and finding what makes it work and is special. Or you can just have Claude shit out slop no one wants to play. Valve always needs

It's stupid that I feel the need to add the stupid #noai disclaimer on our capsule, but 8000 games in Next Fest with so much AI slop being inflicted... Maybe it will make someone's day to know that we hate AI being shoved down our throats too. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #gaming
