#ContentCreators, #IndieDevs, and #Publishers, I put together a discussion on key distribution sparked by the issues with #Lurkit and the blatant internal issues it has. It includes my knowledge, redacted PR, summaries and collaborations. I know I'm not a huge creator, but... still I hope it helps!

A BREAKDOWN OF KEY DISTRIBUTION PLATFORMS

Not many people truly appreciate #Biking culture. It’s healthy, immersive, and rare in #IndieGames or general games, but I have to mention that #WheelWorld nailed it.

A great soundtrack and amazing atmosphere, I just wish the bugs didn't make it in.

No work, full day. Let's finish up the #SteamNextFest list. Write up some rough drafts, teach Panini how to remember the games and what to say about them.

Later on we'll tackle #Absolum again, really fun, will have copies to #Giveaway when we get them!

#Katanaut trailers make it look to be a fast paced #IndieGame action rogue like full of flair and gore, but in reality, it still needs a lot of polish for a solo project. Partnering with #Acclaim, a previously defunct publisher, just feels like a bad move?

Call me crazy, but hopefully I'm wrong.

The upside of being consistent with upload and game #Reviews:

Clean, Consistent, Organization.

The downside: It's impossible to break out of that organized format.

So unless a game releases on Friday-Sat, for me it's released a week or months later. Sorry #IndieDevs!

Here is Randy Becker’s #IndieGame #Starfox passion project!

And there I am, look at my big stupid face that made it into the game as a playable character in an extra mode!

Voltguardian snagged today’s #Twitch #Giveaway, but he didn’t manage to yoink the games everyone wanted!

He ended up with #WWE2K25, sitting right between #SpaceMarineII and #Persona5. So close… but if he doesn’t respond in time (yikes), you know what that means! Reroll time!

Pawkt @pawkt.bsky.social · 2d

#BlueProtocolStarResonance is not as bad of an #MMO as people make out.

Sure it doesn’t feel great, but it’s not exactly exciting either. It did get hit with negative reviews immediately, but it’ll stabilize over time.

It just takes time to get used to it's weird mobile UI.

Pawkt @pawkt.bsky.social · 3d

More Demos! More Demos! MORE DEMOS!
*Screams*

Since nobody has picked the big massive titles like #Persona5, #SpaceMarine2, #AtomicHeart and such, I'mma force it in todays #Giveaway on #Twitch!

But you didn't hear that from me.

Tsk Tsk Tsk.

Use BCC wisely.

One small (B)-CC slip and you risk 100 people spamming everyone into the block list. Sharing cat and dog pics is fun and all, but come on, in a content creator email thread? It gets annoying when we are not interested in the original content :o

My favorite is Beatrices Intro for the relic Hunter :0

Ooo, a sneak peek at the #IndieGames that have caught my eye for the upcoming #SteamNextFest! I won’t be doing another 150-game list this time, because #YouTube hates the effort I put into the timestamp heavy uploads, but it’ll still be in the usual format that you know :3

Drop by, give recommendations, join our #Giveaways!

You're not allowed to play anything but relic hunters >:0

Pawkt @pawkt.bsky.social · 5d

Previous day winners snagged another copy of #ForTheKingII, couple action roguelikes. Many of which were close to the listed numbers for #Persona5 and #SpaceMarine2, be sure to drop by for a chance!

Taking the day off cause I'm a workaholic.

Pawkt @pawkt.bsky.social · 5d

Gotten through the 50 or so #IndieGames that were showcased to me through emails and recommendations for #SteamNextFest. 27 of which made the cut. I’ll still be looking for more as they appear, but if you haven’t already mentioned your game to me, hit me up.

Good work!

Average perspective of world gamers:
"GOD I WISH THAT I COULD AFFORD THAT!"

Certified banger, lol.
Praise #IndieGames and their damningly good pricing.

My #Twitch streams got flagged as #Gambling seemingly after playing a bunch of #IndieGame rogue likes featuring slot machines, lol.

Loved the original demo for #NoIAmNotHuman, it had real potential as an #Indiegame deductive doppelganger horror sim. But after 6 hours my runs weren’t random at all. Everything was on-rails, which was crazy for a game like this.

It's fixed, but still... I'm disappointed.

I'm a big meanie. I just struggle with social cues and norms, like saying thank you is quite weird to me.

If I ever make you angy from a topic, it's often times not intentional.

Back on that #SteamNextFest grind for fun titles. Woke up late. www.twitch.tv/pawkt/

Pawkt @pawkt.bsky.social · 8d

Well, time to start digging into #SNF #SteamNextFest games, early bird gets the good games that aren't being overshadowed by the AA big budget social media hyped up trends :0!

Also more #Giveaway, but you don't want any of those, yuck.

You can’t just switch on and off #MentalHealth.

What a disgusting way to frame it!

#WithoutADawn an #IndieGame does exactly this, disregard the complexity of it by brushing it off as

“I put myself in a dark place to make this come to life :)”

Seriously, what the ** Jesse?
