Show Notes
Time for another game dev podcast! 🎙
You've been so kind & encouraging about last week's episode that I just had to keep talking. Let's do this. We're discussing:
On loving & hating marketing
Ignore the "Great Attractors"
Failing to follow your own advice
Your tools serving you VS getting in your way
Thoughts on crowd-funding
🎸 Music
Simple but Effective
Phantom Anthem Wubs
Wanderer
Back at it
I'm Just Going to Call it Dubstep
🫧 Play the Pixel Washer demo!
Notice me burying the lead much? Yeah, I've got a new playable demo for you!
Have a relaxing time power washing beautiful pixels in Pixel Washer!
That's the pitch! It's just gorgeous 2D pixels that you need to clean. That's it. Some of you may remember Weekend game jam: Pixel Washer – yup, this is further development of that concept!
It's early times. I'll probably completely redo how the power washing itself works, which is all the game is about, but do play the demo & let me know what you think in the Valadria Discord.
