[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.] JANET: Ugh... LIZ: What's up?

Stellar cartography does good work. And goddamn, "prophet margin" is a name I wish I came up with.

Played an early version of this. If you're into puzzle'y strategy games like slipways, well worth checking out!

There's something really interesting in the design of this game; it reminds me some of this game I played with my dad as a kid where you were a pirate and had to sail between ports to deliver goods. Give it a look if that sounds appealing!

This game is so sick.

If you like Slipways or the idea of building a trade network to make number go up go check out the Steam page!

The early builds of this one did hurt my brain but in a fun way. You might want to follow this one if you're into mini-metro like stuff.

We launched GenExile, our solarpunk city-builder, in Early Access last week. We had ~35k wishlists before launch (not a barnburner but not nothin').

And they said, "Well, there's no way you'll convert literally 0% of your wishlists to sales."

I looked them dead in the eyes and said, "Watch me."

Game design is simple, actually. Except when it isn't. Here are the 12 things you need to know.
Game design is simple, actually
So, let’s just walk through the whole thing, end to end. Here’s a twelve-step program for understanding game design. One: Fun There are a lot of things people call “fun.” But most of them are not useful for getting better at making games, which is usually why people read articles like this. The fun of a bit of confetti exploding in front of you, and the fun of excruciating pain and risk to life and limb as you free climb a cliff are just not usefully paired together.

not faulting anyone for the path that fits their life needs but a tradeoff people don't always expect of the high paying job at amazon, microsoft, google is they can waste 15 years of your life over the bold dream of one rich person wanting their own copy of what another rich person is already doing

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

mobile is in such an unjustifiably terrible place right now. find me a single indie dev that doesn’t have an existing audience and isn’t using a gross business model on mobile to survive. just one! i don’t know any success stories like that over the last few years.
