I might have found the perfect cozy game for me with Dystopika. Dark, ambient and cyberpunk vibes while you build your own wall city. Demo out now on Steam. store.steampowered.com/app/2379910/...
My first NextFest has been great so far in terms of metrics, but I really hope Valve does a re-think of the "live" broadcast setup. The pre-recorded loops, the viewbots... it just feels like consumers aren't benefitting and it's become a hollow wishlist-farming arms race due to its placement.
I had to figure out this whole stupid swing thing at GDC back in 2015. (I'm in a picture about halfway down strapping a phone on it). www.engadget.com/2015-03-06-c...
Haha maybe we should do that. Biting my lip trying not to jump into the game discourse on reddit right now...
Oh hey it's the press. www.gamesradar.com/dystopika-is...
Did a nice refresh of the Dystopika website with GIFs so futuristic Bluesky can't even show them. dystopika.com
I'm a mess of anxiety leading up to the Dystopika demo. I have this compulsion to "add more stuff". I'm finding the hardest part of solo dev is you know all the places the project is lacking but you just don't have time to make it all 100% perfect.
