If you want to support a solo dev from New Zealand, working his evenings away on this, keep reading.. Void Inc is in Next Fest & it's a workplace management sim with creeping horror. It's pretty good, too (and I'm not biased at all!) Thank you all 🫶 Link in the replies!

Yeah it definitely was an increase! I think I learned my whole game idea/capsule doesn't really convert many people to want to play it or look at it. I was not getting impressions even before, but with Next Fest, I actually did and got abyssmal click throughs

Not that great, but it helped

Really appreciate it, thank you!

That would be awesome, thank you so much! Always good to see things from another perspective

If anyone knows any YouTubers/Streamers that would give Void Inc a chance, hit me up! Having a lot of trouble gettting replies from emails or for anyone to notice Void Inc, figured I'd at least ask. Thanks in advance, indie peeps of twitter!

I suggested they have another page to try and spotlight these lesser known/popular devs for people to browse that doesn't interupt the rest of the fest.

Good luck on the rest of the games! You're doing great work. Thank you for playing my game (Void Inc). I did a fix for the language and Japanese localisation issues. Sorry the build had those bugs for you!

hahaha, unfortunately there's still a lot of that "enjoyable work" - just slightly less, I guess 😂

Lets just roll it all back haha

That's so amazing! Good luck on your release, hopefully it's not too much of a crazy crunch

Good work!

Yeah, I mean people are shitty all the time, a lot of people want to take shortcuts in the places where you shouldn't, too. That doesn't mean there aren't people who have been doing it for a long time, improving their workflows and being able to do things better than before.

Absolutely! Not going to catch it all, but reduce the chances of that game breaking bug

ニュージーランドで一人でゲームを開発しています！ 制作中の『Void Inc』はゲーム内も日本語に完全対応しています！ もしよろしければ、ぜひ一度遊んでいただけると嬉しいです！ store.steampowered.com/app/4…

Sometimes we all just need a break from it, you're doing it all for free, don't be hard on yourself

Haha, I hope they still show kids this movie in school

Everything is not as binary as people would like it to be. It's just easier to deal with mentally sometimes if you treat it that way

Gen AI, I can only say maybe for artists who know what they are doing to help with not-important, non-end-product stuff, but I don't understand enough to make a properly informed judgement there, I feel like this is where it is the worst.

This is the reality of today, I love handmade, and I think real innovation happens by those dedicated people who still love the craft. However, sometimes your time is not best spent on opening PR's and writing automated tests, but creating good game experiences.
