Indie games don't have a quality problem. They have a discovery problem. So we built @QUDO_games. A place where indie games actually get found, and where the time you already spend playing gives something back. This is the team, and what we've been building.

Toxic VS Devs #4 - Highlighting @QUDO_games QUDO is building a Web3 gaming ecosystem around indie games, players and rewards. We jumped into The Tribes, where you can create your own weapons and bring your creativity into the game. Mode: FFA Team Devs: @_DiogoAbreu, @PowaRanja Score: 2 - 0 for me The Tribes is actually so fun, and the amount of crazy weapons you can create is insane. Had a lot of fun with this one. Also, @QUDO_games gave me 20 custom weapons to give away to you guys. Check the comment below if you want to join. Want your project featured in Toxic VS Devs for free? DM me or comment below.
Toxic VS Devs #3 - Highlighting @anamongame Anamon is a Web3 monster-collecting game where you explore, battle, and trade unique creatures with true ownership and real rewards. Open packs, use the cards ingame, or sell them for USDC. They even have Pack Battles, put your pack on the line and battle your opponent to win theirs. The devs took the series 2-1 Huge GGs, the matches were incredibly close. I even pulled a card worth 900 USDC from a $50 pack during the testnet Mainnet launches July 20. We'll also be hosting an Anamon Game Night with @ElixirGuild on July 23, so make sure to join our Discord for the official announcement. Comment, RT, or QRT if you want your project featured in the next Toxic VS Devs episode.

"A niche game is a good sign. It means an audience exists. The bad case is having no niche at all." Ivan Barroso (aka: @osvelhostempos): 20 years in games, years of it inside PlayStation, three books on the history of the industry. We sat him down on what indie devs get wrong before they ship.

Four indie games worth your time, all on @QUDO_games. 🎮 A deckbuilding RTS, a roguelite where you tear enemies apart, an arena shooter with player-made weapons, and a football game timed for the World Cup. 👉 youtube.com/watch?v=HMEOwVJF…

Pricing without an audience is the volume knob on an empty room. The dev who launches with an engaged demo community can price properly. The one with just a Steam page and a wishlist count ends up pricing low to compensate. Build the audience first. Price decisions get easier.

62% of non-free indie games on @Steam sell for under $10. The cheap tier isn't the safe one. It's the most crowded. Steam's algorithm has no quality filter at $2.99. It groups by revenue behavior, which means your game gets bucketed with the bottom of the market.

Your Steam launch window is about 48 hours. Most of it is decided in the weeks before launch day. We cover this in our latest video. ⏬ #indiedev

Indie devs don’t need to become crypto devs. They need to stay laser‑focused on building games that are actually worth playing. qudo.io

Have you tried this game? 🛸 Astroblast Rampage throws you straight into a galaxy at war, where every mission escalates and every ship upgrade is the difference between survival and getting wiped out in seconds. Play Astroblast Rampage at games.qudo.io/?game=Astrobla… #indiegame

A Steam capsule has under 2 seconds to earn a hover. Another 5 to earn the click. Most are designed at full size and never tested at the size they actually appear in. Quick test: shrink yours to thumbnail. Is the focal point still readable? Does the text survive? Does it look distinct from the rest of the genre? If the answer's no, that's where players are dropping off.

Your Steam page is leaking wishlists. 💧 Not because of traffic. Because of 5 things on the page itself, and most of them take under 10 minutes to fix.
