Everybody says that gamedevs should "Keep scope small" but the real reason for this is often misunderstood.

It's not that you shouldn't try to make something ambitious or unique. In fact, you often have to in order to succeed.

The problem is when devs overcommit to an idea that doesn't have any teeth. Then they sink 3-10 years into a project that might be fun to work on but isn't commercially viable.

IMO, the more complete wisdom would be "keep scope small until you validate that you're building something people actually want... then go wild :)"

72 hours ago the best way to market a game was through creating content and contacting content creators for collaboration.

Guess what’s still the best way today…

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.

@Chavenham It was always about marketing creatively.

Indie Game Development is not a competition, when we see other indie games go viral and achieve insane success it's not a sign to panic; it's a reason to celebrate! That success becomes a symbol of hope and encouragement, an inspiration and motivation to keep going no matter what

@MANbari_beats No music in the last show but will keep in mind for the other games im working on

It’s funny how many people still think that game development is 80% coding a game quickly when in reality marketing is the most important asset.

GAME DEVELOPERS ARE OFFICIALLY COOKED

this guy vibe coded a full pixel pirate sailing game that runs in the browser with opus 4.8

you sail a ship, engage in naval combat, explore the open sea, and interact with other ships

works on mobile too

a few years ago this would have been a full indie studio project with a team of artists, a sound designer, and 6 months of development

now it's one person with claude code and a weekend

game studios charging $40 for pixel art games while vibecoders are shipping them for free in the browser

the barrier to making real games is completely gone

@orgunbertan I feel like getting the core mechanic perfect is the fun part! There’s always time for content

[Missing Page Studios @missingpagedev]

I wonder how many solo indie devs are as stupid as me planning two releases for October next fest
