Automata Games

Indie game dev studio crafting our debut title. Building in public and sharing the journey. Your feedback shapes our code!

@TeamConcode I will guess Godot too

Topic 2: Account Trust / Account Signals

Old X felt different.

A single post could explode just with the right hashtags, fast likes, or quick retweets.

New X feels way more account-aware.

There’s no public “account score” you can see…

but X definitely uses internal account-level signals, called Tweepcred, to decide what gets shown.

Key signals that matter now:

• Your account history & age
• X Premium + verification status
• How the viewer relates to you
• Blocked / muted = instant penalty
• Quality of your followers and engagement

So the game changed.

We stopped asking:
“How do I make this one post get impressions?”

We started asking:
“How do I build a trusted, useful account in my niche?”

For indie devs, that means:

→ Be genuinely useful
→ Reply like a real human
→ Stay consistent in your niche
→ Cut the spammy stuff

Long-term account trust = sustainable reach.

Build trust first.

Reach follows later.

With the increasing cost of PCs we, indie developers, should create more games for potato PCs. I have an old PC at home and I really love it when I can run newly released games on it

@moochigames I see a fellow office enjoyer, I am in!

An endless ice storm sounds like a terrible place to live 😄

Which is exactly why it makes a good game setting.

No comfort.
No safety.
No easy way forward.

Just survival against a world that never stops fighting back.

Topic 1: Old X vs New X

Many indie devs are still posting for the old X algorithm.

Old X felt more simple:

Hashtags helped.
Likes pushed the post.
Retweets spread it.
Fast engagement mattered a lot.

New X feels more selective:

The topic needs to be clear.
The right audience needs to react.
Replies seem more important.
And the account itself probably matters too.

My experience with my own account:

Before the update, I was able to get more impressions with certain posting habits.

After the update, my impressions dropped.
At first, it was confusing.

But after testing for a while, I think I understand some of the reasons.

Old X felt like a system where many people could get impressions if they followed some basic rules.
New X feels harder.

Before, quantity mattered more.
Now, quality seems to matter more.

And this quality is probably judged more by AI / machine learning systems than before.

That also means one thing:

What works today may not work tomorrow.
Because the algorithm is changing too.

Curious if other indie devs are feeling the same shift.

Dying in games usually means failure.
Some puzzle games turn that idea upside down 😄

@Dust_WyrmStudio is working on Skeptikos, a strange puzzle experience where shutting down, manipulating gravity, and learning the rules becomes part of progress.

That alone makes me curious.

so many images you want Steam so many...

[Automata Games @AutomataGames1]

@ScoreBoard_game Yeah I feel like ui matches the theme it looks cute, why do you think players don’t like it

hey folks I created this trailer for our upcoming game, I would really like if any of y'all give me feedback #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGame

Rich people figured something out early.
Relationships create opportunities.
The rest of us still treat marketing like pure theory 😄
Indie devs should not underestimate this either.

Say hello.
Support others.
Build real connections.
Because visibility sometimes starts with a conversation.
What matters more to you right now:
More followers or stronger connections?

@REEDPratt2 absolutely it looks way better now!

[Automata Games @AutomataGames1]

One advantage of using coding agents is that you normally have huge amounts of work in non player facing tasks and that pressure leads to task paralysis or procrastination so many times. Having an assistant like a coding agent helps break that wall of inertia #IndieDev #GameDev

[Automata Games @AutomataGames1]

@IndieCurator Thank you so much, you've honored me.👊

[Automata Games @AutomataGames1]

@IndieCurator I've focused intensely on game development. I've only recently realized I need to build a community. I hope it's not too late.

[Automata Games @AutomataGames1]

Trailer is on the way! So excited!

[Automata Games @AutomataGames1]

@_dareDev @IndieCurator All right then, wish you many good code designs

[Automata Games @AutomataGames1]

@_dareDev @IndieCurator I support finished games with bad code design. I believe devs should release it then they can refactor the codebase provided that game is playable and bug free. I wanted to understand your perspective not making a point, and also share mine.
