I think I'll release the tiny rogues update around the time gta6 comes out

everybody avoiding that month, so somebody gotta man up and release a good game around that time, right?

[RubyDev | Tiny Rogues Dev @RubyBenji]

indie creators are starving out there while we pay famous actors to mocap the blender default cube

bruh

[Culture Crave 🍿 @CultureCrave]

Jack Quaid doing mocap for his ‘God of War’ character Phranque while also wearing a cube 😂 🧊

yo this seems sick

[Indie Game Joe @IndieGameJoe]

This indie dev has spent over one year learning Godot to make an old-school trading card RPG.

- Hunt or buy over 200 unique cards
- Build your deck to defeat rivals and bosses
- No AI Art, NFTs or Microtransactions

Would you play this? It's called Cardaire: Eternal Aces.

as a 29 year old this resonates too much

[Dear Self. @Dearme2_]

27 is a weird age you feel like you're 19, but then you meet a 19 year old and realize you're 45.

[RubyDev | Tiny Rogues Dev @RubyBenji]

why did one of my google sheet bookmarks trip over

[RubyDev | Tiny Rogues Dev @RubyBenji]

for all those "adult game makers" on Steam... hear me out...

thicc a** thieves

[Best Indie Games @clemmygames]

From the minds behind Deus Ex and Thief comes this first person stealth-action heist game which launched this week for just $4.99!

Have you played Thick as Thieves?

[RubyDev | Tiny Rogues Dev @RubyBenji]

@nogal909 @CodeRed_dev woah slow down that's some advanced setting there that comes inbuilt in like all engines, cant expect us devs to add a button into a menu...

/s

[RubyDev | Tiny Rogues Dev @RubyBenji]

Omg Audio Sliders? Like 6 out of 10 indie games fail this test!

[LoopCAP @LoopCAP_]

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MENU!

We’re getting closer and closer to releasing the demo... 👀

[RubyDev | Tiny Rogues Dev @RubyBenji]

@CodeRed_dev games that dont have audio settings

[RubyDev | Tiny Rogues Dev @RubyBenji]

Looks fun to build stuff with!

"Oh but you can't plan ahead for that and then run into trouble if you can't respecc!"

A) give players the necessary information to make good decisions, present it in digestible ways

B) give player access to respeccing 🙈

[RubyDev | Tiny Rogues Dev @RubyBenji]

Not really following PoE2 stuff but the discussion on runes/sockets being supposed to be a solution to problems you run into the campaign is kind of odd through my lens.

I think what makes socket-ables great is that they have a relation to, well the thing they are socketed in.

[RubyDev | Tiny Rogues Dev @RubyBenji]

And I think the correct tool to offer players solutions to solving problems is actually the skill tree.
That's because the skill tree doesn't build upon RNG requirements.
Need Fire Resistance for this area/boss? Well here are fire resistance nodes!

[RubyDev | Tiny Rogues Dev @RubyBenji]

@uknonjones @Lord_Hawk7 all fair, thanks for the screenshots above folks

just good to clear that up

[RubyDev | Tiny Rogues Dev @RubyBenji]

Never ever respond to reviews.

2 exceptions:
* if you want to give tech support
* if you want to inform about an upcoming change/feature

don't beg, don't argue, don't be petty, don't be snarky

[Aeterponis @aeterponis]

A game with 1M+ wishlists shouldn't have to resort to this. Asking a player to delete their negative review after a refund is just a terrible community management practice.

A bad review is still valid feedback, and bargaining with refunds manipulates the rating.

(They edited their response after getting backlash online ☠️)
