Finally made a new trailer after the recent gameplay changes. 🎉

I don't know how to market my game either

No gamedev work today. I need to play Castlevania. For err... research. Yes, that's it.

MOOOOOO

Second attempt at a short form video to promote Life Altered. This time I remembered to add subtitles. 😅 I think I will try to do 1 per week. And then when the demo is out, I will attempt a marketing push on a few fronts (not looking forward to that)

Trying to get into short form video production. This is exhausting, but... what do you think of this early attempt?

I can highly recommend this generous offer. Derek had some great points about my Steam page.

Thank you so much for giving the game a whirl @MomsSecretObs - that was a lot fun to watch! (sorry it took me so long to view it). "I don't know why we're poisoning our mushrooms." 😅 Made me laugh! It was also really helpful to se where the game was confusing. Gives me something to fix.

Today I was coding a new event for my game from my list of yet to be implemented events. After about half of it was done I accidentally clicked on the wrong room and opened an old event that I already implemented... and it turns out it was the same one I was currently coding. I just forgot that I already did it. Tell me your game has gotten too big for you without telling me your game has gotten too big for you, huh?

Well, this was fun. #my9games I guess I like RPGs :)

Sursprisingly many people irl ask me why I don't use AI to make my game. The list is so long. But my top 5 is: 5. It's theft of someone else's creativity. 4. It fills each market with low quality crap. 3. It prevents you from learning something new. 2. It kills creativity. 1. It's a huge waste of humanity's collective resources.

I'm gathering quotes from other game devs that help me in my project. Today's quote: "Games are pretty bad right until shortly before they are finished." Erik Wolpaw on @TheExaminedGame podcast.

Lately I've been thinking about how I will have spent 4 - 5 years on my game when it releases and it will probably not even make back the money I spent on it. Sounds frustrating, but I am trying not to be frustrated. I still want to finish the game and I think it's worth finishing. I will still create value for myself in form of everything I learned on this project. Like animating sprites in Spine 2D for example. 😄

They are posting this garbage as if they are proud of it.

I wish I could go back three years and bring a copy of my game with me to see if I would jave played and enjoyed it when I wasn't too deep in ithe making of it. I have no idea what I have here. #gamedev #indiegame

Thank you @RumbleRumBot for including Life Altered in your showcase! 🎉
