very charming models, as someone with no 3d modelling skill i love the approach you take. quite rare to find low poly models which are so characterful. if i can ever help you out with any programming let me know :) If your game i can try to implement one of your models in my game, if it stays i can credit you and link to your page. i fully understand if you would rather not tho.

its been awesome. if you get involved in the community with jams, forum and actually playing games and leaving feedback/ideas its a very powerful site.
also i have always been treated nicely even when ive screwed up on forum rules etc.
love this place. its the only place i can really call home for my creativity.
have been lucky enough to get involved in jams and make it onto a popular anthology.
its all amazed me to be honest. i am an old, simple person lol. This place has helped me find my creativity.

fair warning.. read the comments before you play it.
Its not horror its just a psychedelic mess.
thanks :)
im considering putting something like that together.
i have one entity made which is quite unusual, you can experience it in the browser here: https://argondevilguiderods.itch.io/showroom
if you have not seen this, have a look at this software for making zines to be hosted on here in a book page style:
Electric Zine Maker: https://alienmelon.itch.io/electric-zine-maker
JS-ZINE:https://jeremyoduber.itch.io/js-zine
might be useful.
ive got some audio sample packs up.
i think itch.io is great for music sharing, love that i can embed bandcamp albums neatly OR even make a custom player as webGL to run on the project page. couldnt ask for more power for sharing the content.
If anyone wants to try the bandcamp thing, just get the embed code for your album then paste it into the description field when you edit project page. it looks great. you can center it if it suits you better.
as a side note, theres a good amount of audio/zine/other based jams to take part in.
will check out your zines, good luck :)
its hard to reconcile the focussed intensity of creativity with the next part, which is way more ominous,abstract and full of possibilities.. releasing something into the world.
You probably feel the way you do just because you care about what you do. its a good thing to feel.
Dont forget, a great part of software is that you can kinda keep something AND give it away.
as opposed to, for example painting art, where if you have to sell it in an unadulterated form, it cant be fully duplicated and you literally have to part with it forever.
I used to make some one off electronic devices and sell them. killed me every time i had to say goodbye to one :(
game devs have it easy in comparision IMO. its great to being able to share something and keep it, to work on some more, at the same time.
bit of a rant there hope it makes sense :p i dunno its late.
hope everything goes well for you.
nice ideas thanks for sharing.
i havent really attempted any marketing beyond reddit posts. i dont have social media either.
having one of my games included in the excellent indiepocalypse anthology helped me out in the beginning.
I just keep making stuff somehow im getting between 50 and 100 visits per day.
however, when im ready i will consider marketing and always interested to read peoples experiences.
for anyone starting out, i recommend Reddit. solid, easy & free way to share your work. great community too (opinions may differ on this). You can make some nice overlaps in the subreddits. i.e. i share some of my music apps to r/ambientmusic etc
If im completely honest, ITCH.IO in itself has been the best thing for me. great site with nice tools for sharing your projects. It has become the heart of my operations. I LOVE IT. the site and the people. oh and of course the jams... thats a nice way to make something and have fun with a like minded community. I would be lost without this site.
