ALT About AI Slops and Saturated game market... For years, Steam, and other platforms have become a saturaded market... And now, with generative AI, the saturation has grown even more... We have decided not to use AI in our games and will stick to that decision. We have come to realize that we, along with other creators facing a similar situation, need the support of the people who follow us and value everything we create... We might not get the biggest community but we are very thankful to all the people who shared the word about our games, supported our kickstarters or interacted with us on social media. In times like this one, your support really makes a difference. So please, if you like the work of any indie creator, support them, interact with them, ask questions, give some feedback, share their work. Even the smallest human interactions matter a lot these days. Human connections are something AI can't replace️ ♥️
he scariest part of indie horror?
Not knowing whether anyone will discover your game before Halloween.
This creature already has our attention. 🎃 Now imagine the horror games players haven’t found yet.

Players care about the game they get to play, not just how it was made. 🎮
Tasty Chef shows there’s an audience for cozy games, but getting discovered is still a challenge for so many indie devs.
What makes you try a game you’ve never heard of? We’re building E2A Play to help players discover games worth playing. #GameDev #IndieGameDev
An eerie rural house, foggy woods, and something lurking in the distance… yeah, I’m not exploring that alone.🌲
What makes a horror game worth trying is that feeling of wanting to look closer, even when you know you shouldn’t.
Devs, keep sharing your games. Your next players might be looking for exactly this kind of scare. 🎮 Follow @e2aplay launching soon! #GameDev #IndieGameDev
An eerie rural house and a short gameplay. 🧟

Is it worth putting your demo on itch?
Trust the System just hit 16,000 players on itch (8k+ in the last 4 days!) and I finally got answers I couldn't find on the internet.
So, here's the thread I'd have liked to read before releasing my demo (with stats screenshots) 🧵👇
Some indie devs have put hundreds of hours into a game that most players haven’t even heard of yet.
Drop your game and the hours you’ve spent building it! Let’s find some hidden gems before the next fest.
You never know who might discover their next favourite game through a post like this. #IndieGameDev #GameDev
Your game can be in development for months and still launch to an audience that doesn’t know it exists.
The problem isn’t always the game. Sometimes, players simply never discover it.
Imagine building your community before launch, with demos players can try and creators can share.
That’s the kind of discovery E2A Play is built for.
Why wait until launch to find your players? #GameDev #IndieGameDev
One thing I've noticed from my recent social media experiments is that many indie developers underestimate early marketing.
If your game takes 100 days to develop, posting 3 gameplay clips or screenshots a day means 300 opportunities to get discovered before launch.
You should be building a player base WHILE developing, not AFTER releasing your game and hoping the algorithms will notice it.
Am I wrong, or are too many indie devs leaving marketing until it's too late?
