Well, i guess we saw this coming. Welcome to the Steam slop fest.
New vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuTcl...

8011 October next-fest demo submissions, up 100% from Junes next fest. Just wait until Feb 2027! If this direction continues, the festival may no longer be able to serve the purpose it was created for.

Finally...100,000 subs!! Seriously, THANK YOU so much for the support.
I still have the paper where i wrote down this goal, 6 years ago, back when i only had a handful of subs. At the time it seemed a delusional goal, but here we are!
Many of you have been with my from the start, I won't forget the support and kindness you've shown.
A few months back, after a long break, I found it hard to return. I even considered walking away from YT. I was at 99k, and i thought how poetic and amusing it would be to leave it right there. I broke through by just being myself and not overthinking things.. and it's been fun again!
Hopefully my journey can inspire you, as others inspired me. Know that even with small steps, you can slowly reach cool places, it just comes down to bit of consistency. So whatever you're doing, keep chipping away at it. Trust in the work and process, and one day you will look around you and think "Wow, how did i get here?!"

Take care, see you soon! <3

New video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OquAi...
Another day, another indie dev has had their game stolen, and there is NOTHING they can do about it. Pretty crazy what's going on in the game dev space right now.

I wanted to cover this wild story that's been getting around. Indie devs are apparently getting EXTORTED by AI, smh... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fsph7...

New video peeps! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTaZR...
I keep hearing how game devs are SO COOKED because of AI games. So I decided to investigate this claim and get to the truth of it.

Thanks for watching and supporting indie dev <3

FINALLLYYY...The official steam art for my game is DONE.
This was a major task on my list. And man, it was hard to find an artist! So many fake artists out there scamming with AI gen. Eventually i found AlexT, the dude who did the art for the last Swords And Sandals game. I couldn't be happier with the result.
It feels like a "proper" game now! y'know!?😅 i hope u like it as much as I do!
