I make games that get people thinking and laughing… though not always in this specific order. https://thebitbet.itch.io/

Good mix between demonic possession and the strain. Lots of ideas can spawn (pun intended)
Devils have peculiar minds but comes in any form or shapes. Can also inhabit someone's body so it's more fun to play with them.
Bad ideas are the best ideas, except for the bad-bad ideas. Those are terrible ideas.
So my party had a TPK (totally their fault btw) and suddenly… a new adventure post tpk, because something is wrong in the afterlife. I was happy with the sudden idea and they were happy that the end was not final. It is weird but not too much, had to improvise a lot.
It’s the “why” behind the players logic that usually needs improvement….
I usually follow the main idea. Military place? Long streets with few trees or survival camps and hidden gambling den. University place? Big greenhouses. I do my best to let the form and structures follow the main functions
I usually focus on a single big issue and then add a few more elements. The city may be a cultural place or a merchant hub or a military academy, and then, starting from that idea, I spray some color. If the party like gambling, will find different kind of places, from humble shacks to casinos

if you really wanna make an indie's day buy their game on itch and leave a big fat tip
I'll also add that, where possible for your financial scenario, buying indie games as close to full price as possible is a biggie. Steam takes 30% of every copy. Then the publisher takes theirs. (And even if there's no publisher the dev needs to recoup costs.)

Try not to leave creators with pennies
wishlist conversion rates REALLY fucking fall into the gutter if people just wishlist for the sake of it and don't eventually adopt / pick up the game
I am sure you’ll enjoy it, just go with the flow and be patient with th numerous rules
Some days I think my life has took the path of the expensive DLC without meaning, made just for profit

Every time someone says we’re all equal in the end I start foaming.
Yeah, yeah everyone is equal but i still have to take public transport.

Sorry to report there is a website that takes an image of a woman and uses AI to expand it so you can see her feet.

Original: AI edit:
That’s seriously impressive, I may trying something like that in the future
Well, for the Liminal Horror Halloween Monster Jam I just created The Spiter.
Do you remember that thing that still haunts you before going to sleep... you know, "that thing", from ten years ago?
It's a monster, now

It was an odd topic, create a game for this jam made me laugh, which is the most important thing.
If a book, of any kind, any genre, has reference to the life of the author, is not worth my time.
Her role in matrix reloaded is still
Unmatched. “A kisssss”

What about rules that harms other players? Seems a fun thing to write... 😇
Took a break from videogame programming (well... nobody will notice) to write a fun horror adventure that start... AFTER A TPK!!!

Great suggestions. May need to program some extra skills since I’m here.
Game programming lessons so far:
2D is hard.
3D is harder.

So I skip straight to 4D to maximize productivity
