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!

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

After months of late nights working on Void Inc Next Fest has given me a boost in wishlists. Fingers crossed I don't get buried in the avalanche. But all I want is for people to enjoy the demo! You can support my Corporate Horror Management Sim here: store.steampowered.com/app/4…

Are developers competing over who makes the most compelling games or who can capture and retain attention most efficiently?

Speaking of help, I think my brain is broken. Any ideas/suggestions on this trailer? I was trying to finish it before Next Fest but I'm stuck. 🔊 Sound on to enjoy my home made music

As indie devs, we're all islands.. Is there anyone out there that wants to collab? Surely, we can help each other out, swap some expertise for expertise? Who's keen? What are your skills, and what are you struggling with? Match with each other in this post

For me: I am a competent developer and game designer and am amazing at problem solving deep/difficult technical issues/hurdles, problem solving creatively is my thing. I suck with 3d models and drawing, but I try my best. I am good at testing my own game, but I think honestly you need external play tests because you know your game too well. I'm learning marketing, but I find it hard to communicate with marketing in the way a person who knows this well would, and what to say. Would anyone have use for my skills, and be able to help with something I am bad at?
