What if every creator had a game store and earned from sales?

What if buying from any store meant a single, unified library?

What if niche stores found your players instead of Steam burying your game?

That's Manifold:

Empowering communities to own their game distribution.

No way this is true. I could’ve done this so many times before 🤦🏻‍♂️
Great tip 👏

#UnityTip
When dressing a scene, add slight random rotation to props for a more natural look.

Select multiple objects and enter +=R(-5,5) in the Y rotation field to randomize instantly.

What if you could go undercover as a minimum-wage cashier in a sketchy 90s video rental store to solve the mysterious disappearance of the last employee?

These devs are making this nostalgic mystery point-and-click a reality.

It’s called Neighborhood Video

Do you like this kind of mystery point-and-click vibe?

We're officially launching https://t.co/AB6n2fzVDn today, along with a couple of amazing partners: @geoffkeighley with @summergamefest, and @lucyjamesgames, who's launching her new publication with us.

https://t.co/AB6n2fzVDn is a longstanding dream of ours: to build the very best tools for game discovery.

There are four kinds of people we're building https://t.co/AB6n2fzVDn for:
- Gaming media: Substack and Patreon style tools
- Event hosts: infrastructure for anyone running festivals and events
- Studios: infrastructure to easily list games across platforms, plus community features like connecting studio pages to creator onboarding flows and top streams
- Players: utility like following studios, XP, and rewards

If you're a game studio looking to be discovered by players, list your game for free at https://t.co/qa3Ok4Oh4K. We're anticipating a massive uptick in traffic, and we'll be adding a lot more functionality to the site. This is just the beginning!

Check out and follow:
- Lucy's new publication: https://t.co/IBOem0ZvWd
- An official Summer Game Fest player destination: https://t.co/nKCOn6tBpw

@edenchen @geoffkeighley @summergamefest @lucyjamesgames That's awesome news! Our industry really needs this kind of tools. Hope this helps even more people make a living from games

[Manifold - Open Game Distribution @ManifoldPowered]

That’s a great looking animation. Good artists have a advantage on marketing a game’s idea

I'm making a game about a penguin climbing a mountain.

"In this physics-based co-op platformer, you and a friend must carry your short-tempered king through deadly medieval courses. Dodge traps, maintain balance, and work together to reach the throne room. One wrong step, and the king might crown you with his rage!"

[Manifold - Open Game Distribution @ManifoldPowered]

The gameplay has a lot of juice in it, and the progression system based on the goal difference is so clever that it makes you balance your defence/offence strategy.
Yet, keyboard controls could be simpler

@NanoKnightStdio At the 15-second mark of the video, the ball gets stuck on the player's character as he giggles around. Can I do it with any ball or just the crab?
This might be the skill I needed to play better 😅
