can't emphasize enough how important launch is. you can always delay release but you can never re-launch.

As a Linux gamer, I know we're only 5% market but don't discount our loyalty for having a working version.

That's why we love indie games - because the developers love their own creation and put effort in it. I'll definitely check it out.

I know this might sound crazy, but lower the price. I know it’s value to you, but you have to look at how people will get into a game like this. Spending $20 vs spending $5 is a big deal for not US

I feel like people who translate for free should have an in game item that’s just for them. I think that would be sweet.

if you won't pay for translation, the writing in the game isn't worth reading.

I have a Mac and don’t even bother with steam anymore bc most games aren’t made for it. I don’t have the money to invest in a gaming computer :/

I understand why most games on steam don’t have Mac support, cause it’s hard to do and stuff, but at the same time it’s so annoying as someone who only has a Mac, so see a cool game and then see no 🍎

Am I developing a game? No. Did I watch the whole thing? Yes, it’s very interesting getting a perspective of an indie developer. Thanks for giving out tips to other developers.

Would love to hear if you opted in or out of porting to consoles (which is also time consuming for cert). Did you get to chat with ID@xbox?

I love spellmasons! games don't do actual "spell crafting" in the same way that I can get out of spellmasons. thank you for creating something so cool!!

one thing to note about bugs is that SOME bugs are the most fun part of so many games, while others ruin otherwise great games entirely. prio on the bugs that dont make you laugh.

You mention sales and campaign sales like winter ones. Which one would perform better? One when no many games are on sale or one where thousands of games are also on sale?

Based on this video, I checked your profile to see if you had a post describing the game. Maybe if you make one, the algorithm will bring me back. Or feel free to tag me in one.

Thank you for sharing your insights. We’re already near the launch of our first project as a self-funded dev team but there were still lots of helpful advice for us. Wishing you more success 💪

What about porting the game to other platforms like switch and PS4/PS5? Is it strictly multi-player, or is there a single-player element, too? Just curious

I am making a indie fighting game and it’s out in early access and this video is very helpful to me. I don’t want to rush anything, I don’t cut corners for my game

18,000 copies is fantastic, what ate into your costs? Even at a discount I would of thought there is still a good amount of profit there
