I love my Steam Deck, my only real criticism is the horrid battery life, but the newer version improves that somewhat. I have the OG version.

It’s a great game that goes too long no matter what you do. Setting your own arbitrary end point has worked for us.

I just saw a photo of the latest Phantom Division prototype from China, and it looks like a real board game, that a person could buy. Finally. #boardgames #gamedev Sorry I can't show it yet.

I had always dismissed them as ridiculous as well. Then I looked at it and saw there was no interest which shocked me.

When I looked at it, the total cost was literally the same as paying it all up front. Did you see something different?

I wanted to like that game a lot more than I actually liked it. I think the timer and weapon durability put me off.

Pretty fascinating article about strip mahjong, and who would have thought that Capcom made one of these the same year they released Street Fighter II?

Today I learned that SEAL Team Flix is on TTS, thanks to the hard work of "Cum Man"😂. I haven't tried it yet, but I expect it's not great because TTS sucks for dexterity. For the curious: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... #boardgames

Good thinking, I don't know if you have intentions of publication, but the cheaper your game is to make, the more likely you will get publisher interest. A sad reality.

Some people go the route of pretty prototypes. I am not one of them, because spending a ton of time makes it harder to want to change something.

@vysetron.pixeldie.com You might want to check out Neverlooted Dungeon, I have been playing the demo, and I love it. It's very trap heavy, which I tend to find more interesting than just a ton of monsters. store.steampowered.com/app/1171980/...

Added a new weapon to Office Nightmare for the Customer Service level. A telephone headset that puts zombies "on hold". They take a slight bit of damage and freeze in place, for ever increasing amounts of time. You can literally kill someone by putting them on hold. #gamedev #indiegames #ue5

If you don't die a lot, you can probably beat the demo in 12 - 15 minutes. But I'm guessing you'll die, which is one thing I'm very interested in. As the creator, I have no perception of how difficult the game is. I know every trick. But I watched a player die REPEATEDLY in level 2.

Nothing beyond a link to the steam forums for people to yell at me. So I guess I haven't yet made anyone mad enough! I hope you have some fun with it. I think I patched it 2 days ago so hopefully you have the latest version.

96 people have grabbed my public playtest on Steam for Office Nightmare, but only 11 have actually loaded it up so far. I'm hoping that changes so I can get some player feedback. #gamedev
Is that a normal ratio?
