    Thank you for the kind words. Personally I wouldn't do that, seems to risk. Please make sure you have enough funds to survive for as long as possible. I grew up poor and it sucks. I hate that kind of instability. Good luck with your studio! :)

    The demo is like a prologue level. Definitely play it. It will not spoil anything, it adds to the experience as you learn some stuff about The Dev (within the game world)

    Congrats on that! To just get a game demo to Next Fest is huge! I don't know how to not feel like salesman, but just try to be sincere and share your success with players. Despite all the rage-bait and negativity on the internet, people genualny like positive stories. That's what I try to do at least :)

    Thank you so much to everyone who has wishlisted the game—it truly means the world to me. And if you’ve never heard of it, that’s totally okay! I just wanted to share a bit about what it’s like to pursue the dream of making indie games on your own.

    Balancing this with a regular job, a wonderful dog, and a supportive girlfriend can be overwhelming, and honestly, sleep has become more of a luxury than a reality at this point. But creating games has always been a huge dream of mine, and no matter how tough it gets, I’m determined to make it happen. I genuinely believe that the harder you work, the luckier you become—but it all starts with putting in the work.

    I just wanted to take a moment to remind everyone that, even if a game doesn’t turn out perfect, most indie devs have poured their heart and soul into it, often while juggling tight budgets, limited time, or both. In my case, my brother, who’s an amazing programmer, helps out whenever he can, but he’s been incredibly busy this past year, so it’s mostly just on weekends. For me, it’s been a lot of 14-hour days.

    So thank you again for all the support—it makes all the sacrifices worthwhile. And to any fellow developers out there, keep pushing forward. We’re all in this together.

    So I just read this book on history of games called "Blood, Sweat and Pixels" and was fascinated by the chapter on The Witcher 3 and mostly how the team put in so much thought and care in every single side quest. And seems that there are a lot of moral decision to be made on each adventure. So I finally decided to give it a try. Got any advice for me?

    Hi guys, I have the hunger for more history games. I have to say that usually I'm not a huge AC fan, but last summer I played Odyssey and I'm a huge ancient history nerd and I think that the game and the period were represented very well. (The Story was kinda meh, but serviceable). What other AC game would you recommend for me to play next? What other titles are the most like Odyssey?

    Hello guys, I’ve noticed a lot of people here are hungry for more games like the Stanley Parable. After playing the O.G. game and the Deluxe edition I’ve found myself wanting more of this. More of these meta, narrator led, weird humour games! I started work on my called Do Not Press The Button (To Delete The Multiverse). You can check it on [Steam here](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2336120/Do_Not_Press_The_Button_To_Delete_The_Multiverse/) and follow the development. I’m really open to ideas and suggestions of stuff you maybe miss in The Stanley Parable or mechanics you would like to see or even wacky characters! (So I can shamelessly steal them, nah j.k. I will ask your permission to include your ideas)

    My game is called Do Not Press The Button (To Delete The Multiverse) and in it I have a multiverse called A Universe Where This Game Was Made By People With Actual talent and it's a "What If" the Crow Crows Crows guy made my game.

    Hello, I'm close to releasing my third game called Do Not Press The Button (To Delete The Multiverse) so I would like to get some feedback from players. My only conditions is that you let me watch you play because I need to see player reactions and ask questions at specific moments (whether a level works as intended, or a joke lands properly). Usually it's very chill, fun and we have a great time! Here is the game's Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2336120/Do_Not_Press_The_Button_To_Delete_The_Multiverse/ Comment here or message me if you want to try it and give me some feedback!
