Ok, #gamedev joke
I suggest changing the term "alpha" version of the game to "aloha". Just one symbol, but the context is almost the same

This day has come, the festival of Ukrainian games has begun... On this occasion, I made a 50% discount on my game

The first draft for new gameplay... there are no effects, glitches and other things. This is a demonstration of exactly what I want to do. The player inside a moment of time in broken memory will switch between cameras and search for clues. At this rate, I'll finish it this week

Today I tried what Geometry Script is in Unreal Engine 5. Cool features, but I won't use it for the game. Maybe only as tools for level design

I and two other members of our small team have decided that the next project will be Sci-Fi adventure and we will make this game on Unreal Engine. We will try to make a demo in 1 year, the countdown begins on March 1, 2024

How deeply should the Plot be described in the game design document?
I think that this can be done more succinctly, describing the key moments before the hero appearance and after. Everything else can be transferred to the missions section, which will have more details

What pisses me off about porting a console game on Unity: license key and different versions of the engine. Not all versions of the engine are suitable for Nintendo. For PS, you need to switch the Unity license key. There are no such problems with XBox

@npub1nhw…g2sy 👽 I am interested in how you perceive it, the main thing is to hear you, because I am the same

Hello #mastodon game developers
What is the genre of your game that you are working on or plan to work on?
What do you think makes it unique and why should other people play it?

My 9-year-old son just experienced what every game developer feels. Crying 😂
In Scratch, he was making a game, but accidentally deleted the sprite behind which the code, which he had been creating for a very long time. And he closed the project without returning this action. Lost the code and keeps crying. It is sad and joyful, this is #gamedev experience baby 👽

@npub1nhw…g2sy thank you, now I'm waiting for the 100 review indicator, I really want to believe that steam will transfer the game to verification for Steam Deck

2023-11-24 09:17:25

I know it's a small number, but for an indie made by a very small team and no money for promo, it's a good number for us. 70 reviews so far, but the overall positive percentage is 91%. Don't forget to write a review, thanks ❤️

External traffic from #Mastodon to #Steam
I received the first result of the statistics that we recently discussed with you, thanks to those who told me about UTM analytics
These are statistics for one day
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1224030?utm_source=mastodon
According to this, all previous external traffic that I could not identify looks like it was mastodon. But I have a feeling that most of it is bots, not people. Because of #twitter my statistics are 100 times less

Halt and Catch Fire 📌
I watched it 3 times and intend to repeat it in the future, if I do not die
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2543312/
one of the coolest series about computers, video games, startups, IT, business, industry pioneers, evolution of Internet, reflecting the era, setting of the 20th century, with a combination of history
⭐ Do you know a better series?
P.S. Mackenzie Davis is 🔥 ❤️

RIP - Google Analytics for Steam
Unfortunately : (
it was the coolest tool I've ever used to track stats in real time. Steam does not support the new version of Google Analytics
The shutdown was planned to be on the 1st july, but it worked for a few more days.

I'm wondering, if more people play the Erra: Exordium on Steam Deck, will it affect the time game verified?
