If you want to support a solo dev from New Zealand, working his evenings away on this, keep reading.. Void Inc is in Next Fest & it's a workplace management sim with creeping horror. It's pretty good, too (and I'm not biased at all!) Thank you all 🫶 Link in the replies!

Even if you're against AI, I think it's worth trying it for code, to understand how it works. You might even find small ways to automate the tedious parts of development, freeing up more time for the creative work you actually enjoy, without losing what makes your games yours.

This is the reality of today, I love handmade, and I think real innovation happens by those dedicated people who still love the craft. However, sometimes your time is not best spent on opening PR's and writing automated tests, but creating good game experiences.

Gen AI, I can only say maybe for artists who know what they are doing to help with not-important, non-end-product stuff, but I don't understand enough to make a properly informed judgement there, I feel like this is where it is the worst.

Update: I was averaging players from before next fest, it is actually around 12+ players per day, my bad!

So before Next Fest I was getting 1-5 wishlists per day. During Next Fest I've been getting 20-40 each day and 1 or 2 people are always playing the demo. Small compared to a lot of people, but it's nice to see positive numbers either way! Next Fest is still good, honestly!

Would highly recommend shipping Sentry with your game for crash reports, I had nothing before but it's a huge help. There's a free developer tier, too. So much so, that I've done some bug fixes for Void Inc: store.steampowered.com/news/…

Are there any voice actors who are willing to work on a claustraphobic horror puzzle game (not Void Inc) alongside myself? I don't have any budget, but I am happy to accomodate you in any other ways (rev share, helping w/ tech/dev on your projects). *no gen ai here

If you think there are too many demos on Next Fest, it's simple: filter by tags You can go from lots to 100 or less. Very easy to look through 100. Hope you can learn the magic of tags, good luck friends
