Whew, 23 more km today. I'll take a break from Twitter for a while, but I'll pop in to support the achievements of my friends - excellent game releases are coming from fellow indie dreamers soon! @ Discord if you need me. Keep making your dream games a reality! 🍻

With more and bigger games promoted as made by one person, we can finally put solodev in the grave next to indiedev and roguelike. It was fun, but the next big thing will be famdev. I predict that one year from now, everyone will say that working with their AI waifus counts.

Figured this could be useful for more people. IMO, Early Access is critical for an open game that offers a different experience than the ones already out there. Even more so for procedurally generated sandbox games because every player may play differently and in different…

Soulash 2 is an RRPG - Replayable Role-Playing Game. It's what Roguelikes used to be before people carved out role-playing in the name of progress.

I think the "evil" perspective is still very much unexplored in gaming. So, even though Soulash 2 is a sandbox, I will make sure you can be as evil as you want. After all, Dungeon Keeper 2 is still in my top 3 games of all time, and I've been gaming a lot since.

Regarding motivation to build a game, the first year was the hardest. It's when you're bombarded with: "this tech is easier" "this shortcut is quicker" "this idea is better" "this blah blah" Past the industry of overthinkers is a boring answer. You want it, you pay for it.

I think this is a common problem for starting indiedevs, so I'll take this opportunity to provide a broader answer. I really hated marketing when I was working part-time on Soulash. It was mainly because I knew it had to be done, and I had very little time and creativity left…

My games don't make a good first impression. I don't want to change my game design to fit marketing needs. So the way I plan to overcome this is to be around long enough to make more impressions I call it the non-viral cockroach strategy. No luck needed. 6 years and counting!

The problem with permadeath in long-form Roguelikes is that it evokes a feeling of loss instead of accomplishment. Players feel they lost time and progress. I always keep that in mind and often wonder what would make permadeath become a fulfilling end to a character's story.

This is how I deal with heavy criticism of the parts I like about my game. I'll make everything else so good people won't be able to resist it anyway. 😁 The more people know about my work, the harder it is to do anything without hearing criticism, but I intend to keep my…

Asking a game developer if <insert unannounced feature> will be in the game is like asking what will they have for dinner in 4 months. The answer is usually: "I don't know, can I please not have to decide now." 😅

My new purchase. Now I’m gonna ride from home to home every morning like I need to get to work. 😁 I forgot how enjoyable it was.
