This is true, and I also would advise anyone and everyone to make these enquiries, loads of people have been in your the same situation and almost everyone wants to help. Im always happy to do so. I had a DM from a dev one day that simply said "Are the Outersloth folks for real?" :)

it's very easy to succeed as an indie gamedev all you gotta do is get tens of thousands of followers, significant numbers of true fans, and then ship at least one game a year (preferably more)

💵 MONEY for GAME? In 2026??? 💵 There have been more and more successful-game-devs-turned-game-funders popping up, so here's a lil' thread of some of the more recent ones I've seen. Hopefully this helps you get some $$$! 🔽

It'll be a fun talk. *blinks twice*

Sending strength to every Larian employee who hates AI and has to sit through the discourse of another dipshit slop-pilled CEO's comments

I'm going to throw some cold water on the anger about this. It is now considered ROUTINE for AAA games to spend as much on marketing as they do on Dev. Dev costs $200M? That's the starting point of conversation on how much to spend on marketing, PR and ads. 1/short thread

It's got a big list of good games in it, maybe you should read it.

The Game Awards is nice, but I chose a different kind of multihour trial this evening. Credit and thanks to for the design!

Nothing can prepare you for what you're about to see after the words "pre-seed deck"

Hatsune Miku should present an award at this year’s Game Awards

Pokemon logic says that if waist-height boulders got you blocked, jumping off a two-story building is a reasonable detour.

Can't believe they added The Purge to Pokemon

All my good desktop bgs are on my dead hd

A friendly (and unfortunately experienced) reminder that SSDs spontaneously dying so hard your bios won't post can happen to you too. Maybe back that up or something.

Imagine a world where the big game companies' ambitions went only as far as making enough money to pay people well and then make another game, and then do it again.

what a waste of everything.

Victoria has a higher performance review score than my Uber passenger score, so she's like really good and you should read her words.

My first script editing credit, wow!

You know, the existence of the sixth flavor umami implies a seventh flavor: aypapi

Tired: Mutually executing contract amendments Wired: Mutually 🤝'ing slack posts

Words, numbers, feels, and more! One year of Outersloth being public!

Despite everything, there's some good games on the horizon

Tired: solo devs Wired: Swolo devs We only care if you're strong AF (boiiii) now, get on it

Also apparently FPSs are still :T so here's a good game we support instead.

Haven't watched the game shows yet so I was pretty sure RGG stood for Robert Gowney Goonior.

free advice for game developers: try to make the next smash hit video game, such as grand theft auto. if you do, you'll be making more than just a video game – you'll be making millions of dollars

Self publishing 👏👏👏

Great weather, crackin open a cold one with the boys

Actually, I have cracked it: Blue Prince is solitaire with card text to make it harder.

The only thing this prince blue was math (and maybe darts)

*ill Bill seeing blue (prince) sirens*

Damn, I typed the K while the image was uploading, so now you get the bad skeet

Rumpus room

Weird that blue prince is more of a deckbuilder than a puzzle game so far?

Thanks, but I will rawdog the blue prince as long as I'm able. Out of respect.

You're telling me someone blue this prince?

I finished citizen sleeper so now I get to skeet blue prince for a bit

every week, tumblr asks me if im ever gonna make a game with bugs. buddy, i already made it, and you can kiss the bug, and it's coming out on Tuesday

"Be prepared to smell paint all night" - A woman entering the hotel elevator as I left

And you know, she is so right.

So I guess SeaTac has auto driving wheelchairs now. They seem... bad. The woman in the chair had to get out and said "don't ever let anyone do that to you"

I guess it's destination is like right in front of me. I'm gonna see a lot of old ladies today.

That's right, I'm at the airport with nothing better to do than skweet out of pocket.

Can an audiophile tell me why there aren't any domwoofers? Asking for a friend.
