Thank you very much for your time. Are you a professional game developer or long time in the gamedev?
Most of the things I heard before but I forgot some or didn’t have time for it during the game jam. But the examples are a big help because I’m playing less than I code and comparing with the successful games for the aspects you named is a really good approach.
Thanks again. And I’ll copy the list in a file to watch it while coding!
I have been an indie dev for the past ~10 years, but only started taking things seriously a few years ago. I’m currently working on a few bigger projects and hope to launch a demo and a full free game on Steam soon (like maybe a few weeks for the full game and a little less than a week for the demo if my musician/composer gets back to me soon).
Platformers are near and dear to my heart, and I would love to get back to my pie-in-the-sky project, but that requires a significant art budget that I don’t have the money for, so I am making some small and polished experiences in other less expensive genres before I go back to the dream project someday.
Itch has a couple of my more recent projects (mostly prototypes from game jams), and the rest are/were on Steam: https://linktr.ee/spiregg
I update social media infrequently and mainly use it to announce releases, but I plan to post more screenshots and other content soon since some games are now nearly done.
Yeah, I saw your devlog update. I will try to check the new version out when it’s ready.
I don’t have an XMPP account, but I do have a Discord account that you can add. Add @spiregg on Discord if you want. What XMPP service do you use/recommend? I hadn’t heard of that before.
Thanks. I’ll check your links. For xmpp there are many good services. To find the best one for you I’d look here: https://providers.xmpp.net/ (pay attention on being able to register just with username/password and no personal data). xmpp is the most secure chat imho. I hope to chat with you there.
