Haven't really used Twitter in a while.

@KenneyNL It's a shared concern: https://t.co/Biua7XwlaH
And i wonder how many more people are going the same direction.

@doot_dodo @jogamedev I appreciate how you set the healthy work/life balance as a pillar to your success.

Steam's 2-hour refund policy protects consumers AND devs

An indie dev wants it changed after 55,000 players refunded his game, many beating it in under 2 hours. I'm about to be the annoying one, because that policy is part of the reason he got 270k sales

Let me explain 🧵👇

@bysameng Is this a metaphor for you leaving breadcrumbs to us leading to your next project? I'd play anything you release.

[albertnez @albertnez]

@MR_BIGGUS @bysameng I came here to write exactly this lol

[albertnez @albertnez]

@Gooodgis I love games that pack so much visual juice in such low resolution pixel art. It looks so good!

[albertnez @albertnez]

@IndieGameJoe How do solo devs put out this level of quality? Your posts make me feel the quality bar is really high for indie devs today 🫪

@AntennaGames How can you resist the temptation for so long? lol

#raylib keeps growing (new version, new features, new tools, new users...), but sponsorship does not, growth has been 0 for the last 6 months.

If you use raylib, what would make you consider supporting the project? 🤔

The changes to Popular Upcoming will be felt by small indies.

BUT! The new Personal Calendar might be the perfect replacement?

It shows up earlier on the page. Is specific to YOUR interests. And let's you easily scrub through future AND PAST releases! Here's hoping it helps 🤞

@bilgetbd This feels so fresh. What were your main sources of inspiration?

[RegisKillbin @RegisKillbin]

Steam just made a change that's really gonna hurt future indie games.

The Popular Upcoming page used to list games chronologically by release time. As long as you had enough wishlists to make the cut (~6k to 7k), you'd get some time at the top of the list for people to discover your game.

Now it's listed algorithmically, with far more large games from major companies and publishers on the list, even those releasing two weeks away. The lowest wishlist count on there right now is 80k, when before it would've been 10 indie games as low as 6k wishlists.

Feeling very lucky our game's early access release barely made it out before this changed. It was worth probably 1k wishlists for us, and we had some really unfortunate timing/positioning too. It can be worth thousands of wishlists and sales for smaller games.

Steam is more heavily prioritizing larger games, with the budget and time to grow to enormous wishlist totals, or the rare indie viral hit.

The small to mid-sized games just lost a way to find players. Steam players lost a tool to discover cool smaller games.

If you see this kind of comment under a game on @itchio make sure to report it. I've censored the URL, it's always different (afaik) but malicious tricking people into thinking it's an updated version!
