✨ A few awesome indie games I played recently:

1000xResist: Great emotional sci-fi story that will stick with me for a while!

Ambrosia Sky: A very cool mix of relaxing and eerie with fun level design and amazing art!

Sektori: Went from WTF this is impossible to I must get on all the leaderboards!

All too relatable. πŸ˜†

Honestly, yeah, I think we need smaller, more focused markets. Or more curation tools on the existing stores somehow. I really hope we figure out a healthier approach to all this in the future.
January 9, 2026 at 8:19 PM
Ah yeah... You do still need to do those others things as well, on top of making an actually good game. Haha... It can feel overwhelming.

Trying to look at it more objectively, I do think the market is broken. We shouldn't have to play these games with algorithms... I think we'd all rather just focus on making cool stuff.
January 9, 2026 at 7:46 PM
Steam is currently by far the biggest market for indie games and success on Steam depends on how much and how high your game is surfaced by their algorithms. It sucks but that's tied directly to wishlist number, and it can make an massive difference... πŸ˜•
January 9, 2026 at 7:45 PM
I agree it sucks and I've personally avoided posting about wishlist numbers because it feels weird, but unfortunately it seems to be a key factor to success in the current market.

That does depend on how you define success though. I take it to mean breaking even financially.

Woohoo! Congrats on the launch! πŸ₯³

Wow, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for playing! πŸ₯°

Thank you, it's my pleasure! ❀️

Thank you! It's a real treat to see how much the game can be perfected by a skilled player. 😁

One of their followers, γƒͺγƒŸγƒ₯ー・γ‚ͺγƒ«γ‚΄γƒΌγƒ«πŸœΈ
(@sodalite105), even posted some fan art! I think this is the first bit of fan art I've seen of Pinball Spire and I love it! πŸ₯°

(I'll avoid linking back to it because this is from Twitter...)

It's been incredibly cool seeing players speedrunning Pinball Spire here and there! I've noticed @kagetar0.bsky.social really going for it recently and achieving a 39m33s Any% record. Congrats, man! πŸ₯³

I hope I can do more to support speedrunners at some point!

Happy New Year, everyone! πŸ₯³πŸŽ† Wishing you all a better 2026. ❀️

Congrats! I think that's part of the new independent demo page feature but I thought that was optional. Still, there might be advantages to having that demo page, not sure!
December 31, 2025 at 8:12 PM
That's amazing!

I hate that I'm automatically suspicious of gen AI use when I see a project like this but this looks legit. 🀯
December 31, 2025 at 8:09 PM
Wait... really? Maybe they'll eventually move to that for serialization too.

I'm just learning UE at my new job and I share your pain... Not only are the graphs messy but they're saved as binary files, making changes difficult to follow and impossible to merge. I'll take code over BPs any day!

Hey Nate, thank you so much for the kind words about Pinball Spire! Hearing about people enjoying the game still makes my day every time. πŸ˜„

I just beat Pinball Spire.

I love pinball even though I suck at it, and this game was perfect for me. A really fun pinball adventure game that wasn't as frustrating as I was expecting, and had a decent bit of exploration. Also, surprisingly good soundtrack! I recommend! πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘

Wow, congrats, you two!! πŸ₯³
