Quite literally, until you have 10 reviews Steam doesn't surface you at all.
Those first 10 reviews change everything. If you see a game with less than 10 reviews, you are being shown a life you can dramatically improve.
My historical gardening game is out on Steam!
If you're feeling for spy plots, queer romance, discovering plants and caring for real plants, you can now join the Abbey and embody Agnès! 🌿

It’s hard to make video games in the middle of all of this. It’s a little easier when you have something to say and you know you’re giving people a brief respite from the horrors.

This awful, don't get me wrong, but also somewhat validating? At every scale making a game is just really difficult.

When executives lay off THOUSANDS because of their terrible strategy and don’t take any accountability, it’s not hard to find the problem. Or the solution.
But shareholders are overprioritized, so the board chickens out and refuses to make change for sustainability.
Sometimes i really can't believe I get to do this all day and call it a job

I am VERY impressed with the effort indies have gone to this year decorating their booths!
It's so much fun walking around and seeing them all.
Here's just a small selection.
And well deserved!

You would not believe how many stories like this have been popping up over the last ~5 years
Not just full games cancelled—entire characters and plot lines removed or changed, leaving less time for making the *rest of the game better*, to try avoiding a small and malicious contingent of voices.
I love that they think we were ever professional
It's been a minute but I'm doing the mother/daughter indie adventure thing again. Kari and I will be at GCAP, keen to get coffee and find out what everyone is up to :)
Me :)
so so happy for you 💖
