I am looking for recommendations of Streamers and Youtubers who cover Steam Next fest!

I've found a lot on YouTuber, less on Twitch. Do you folks have any recommendations? - I'd like to contact as many as I can to show off my game.

I guess we'll just pivot towards the bullet hell genre and call it a feature 😌

I forgot to put a cap on the customer spawn rate and ended up with a retail apocalypse 😂

I'm also thinking of limiting your access to decoration storage to only the storage items found inside these areas, but undecided on that one. I'm trying to adopt a more incentive based design to some of these ideas instead of directly restricting or penalizing you for drawing outside the lines.

NCrafters @gobutiko.com · 4d

Been a while #screenshotsaturday! Here's a new feature I've been working on for "officially" claiming land for your shop. It isn't a hard restriction, but instead an incentive to keep your shop in a specific area by granting bonuses to your shop's popularity and item values!

Keeping up with Goblin Logs! Here's Log #2, where I break down what Concept Cores are and how they can change the flow of haggling 🎲

If nothing else, writing this helped me think of a few more improvements I can still make to the system. 🛠️

Sometimes you just need to tweak the rules a bit to get the edge in haggling!

GameCube animal crossing for how much these villagers don't give a fuck about my existence. New Leaf for the QoL bow they wrapped the franchise in.

...and whatever the fuck CityFolk was doin'. I see you wiimote, we are not friends don't talk to me 😑

NCrafters @gobutiko.com · 13d

Truly the peak of game dev is getting to add new rules/effects specifically because you're bad at your own game. 😌

NCrafters @gobutiko.com · 13d

🎲New Dice Effect: Stop Loss📉
A dice effect that triggers when the current price would result in a loss of +20% to let you close out the deal at a 15% loss instead.

The idea came to me after my opponent rolled a 6 three times in a row and I got pissy about it. 😂

Alternatively, can we normalize real travel times over warping across maps? I know we're all in a super hurry, but I really like when a game has a public transit system that makes you sit there and wait to get to your destination. I get to look out the window and regret my life choices more. 😌

Pocket goblins, why was this not already a thing? 🤯

Tootkin [Comms open] @tootkin.bsky.social · 14d

My teezr shop is finally up, with a first batch of pocket goblins!
Meet Onni, Hulda and Tilde, ready to follow you in your adventures!
Teezr is 100% No AI, and it would support me A Lot if you could share this post =)

An announcement for t-shirt designs made by Tootkin and sold on Teezr. The image shows a t-shirt with a chest pocket from which a small goblin is poking out. A zoom next to it shows 3 different goblins: On is eating a mushroom, another is drinking a cup of tea, and the third is rising their fist excitedly. Several pieces of text reads : "Tootkin's pocket friends", "A goblin in your pocket, exclusive gobbo apparel, many sizes and colors", and "I promise you will be the cutest freak at the club". At the bottom there is a link to the shop: https://tee-zr.com/store/tootkin

Me too, buddy... Me too.

I'd love to see their face of confusion when they aren't raptured away, but they'll just move the goal post again. 😔

NCrafters @gobutiko.com · 16d

The dividers weren't high enough for "privacy". Just divided enough to say a specific space could be considered "mine". Though that office did eventually move to just everyone sitting in rows of desks like some dev assembly line.

I was going to say "it depends on present company", but when I tried to think of a decent example it only affirmed that I am indeed the weird one. I used to break out into song with my cubicle neighbor most afternoons, so at least it wasn't just me?

Why do I feel so seen right now? 😂

Lunalopex @lunalopex.bsky.social · 18d

please rinse your bottles before returning them, it helps us out a lot

The docs are very good! It's rare that I can't figure out what I need with them 😌

NCrafters @gobutiko.com · 20d

The answer is maybe, always maybe. Hedge your bets on maybe. Sometimes possibly or even eventually, but usually maybe. 👍

NCrafters @gobutiko.com · 22d

Love the IPs, but dislike the company. Which is fine, companies change because their people change. I still appreciate their contribution to my imagination, but they don't own that imagination.

It's not like there isn't an ocean of games on other platforms to try 👍

NCrafters @gobutiko.com · 22d

I have got to get better at managing my socials for this stuff lol

NCrafters @gobutiko.com · 22d

Yup, I forgot to post this!
