Advice for Artists, Writers and game developers:
If you want to be successful, Make your ideas borderline Unhinged. Holding back will not help you achieve success, and neither is trying to make everything too perfect.
I haven't tweeted about it here but I'm continuing my Game-a-Day challenge where I play 1 game a day! The shorter, weirder, experimentaler, the better! And I'm already on day 3!

How the hell do people put games on Steam. Like, I have watched so many tutorials and still have issues. What are y'all doing to get a game successfully on steam?
I made a twine game where you can turn into an animal (only if you want to, of course). All images are from the Cuddeback Trail Cameras gallery. Take a look! shonte.itch.io/animal-story
Got inspired by those Cuddeback gallery photos, so I made a short game about animals and the afterlife.

With only a few hours left of the itch summer sale, I've put my little murder mystery game Murder at the Cat Show for sale! 2.50 for a cute, funny, and kinda sad mystery! shonte.itch.io/murder-at-the…
Had to delete a lot of code and honestly felt so good about it because it was old stuff that just didn't fit the game anymore. The stuff it's getting replaced with is so much better. I consider that a win!
This probably sounds obvious, but solo gamedev for me has been a lot of talking to myself. I have a whole document dedicated to my thoughts, questions, concerns...and I'm the one who has to answer them all!
Game development feels like making puzzle pieces without fully knowing how or where they are going to join together. But then when they DO join together...man, that's just amazing.

Well, today was supposed to be the day Murder at the Cat Show got released on Steam, but the process of putting anything on Steam is, in fact, hell. Ima let that dream go for now. Murder at the Cat Show (as well as all my other games) are still on itch! shonte.itch.io/murder-at-the…
What if I started a YouTube channel to post about my random thoughts about games, that would be so crazy right?! 🤪🤪🤪🥹
If you like:
- A kooky, silly, short murder mystery 🔎
- Adorable hand drawn characters 🐈⬛
- A 2 hr game for ONLY $5 dollars (what?!!)! 🤑
Then play Murder at The Cat Show, coming soon on Steam! Or a wishlist works too 😜🐈⬛🐈🐈⬛🔎
