It's no surprise that DELTARUNE by @tobyfox was the most loved, best performing game in June! It's been 10 years since the release of Undertale and the anticipation almost got the better of us! Another incredible self-published success is Tower Wizard 🧙 #gamedev #indiegamedev

We loved visiting the Expo at #DevelopBrighton last week! It's the perfect #gamedev conference if it's your first time or if you're a #solodev going on your own. The #indigegamedev showcase was fab and a brilliant place to playtest your game!

In June the sun was shining outside, which meant fewer people playing games inside 😎 so sales & revenue dropped again, but it's just part of the seasonal cycle & we have to pay attention to player behaviour & adjust our targets as a result 🎯 #gamedev #indiegamedev

Many people have pointed out that the player dislikes we list about specific genres also apply to games just in general... so here's a list of the top 5 things you might want to avoid or improve on to make your player experience stand out from the crowd #gamedev

We post a lot about what players like & dislike about different genres - lots of people have pointed out that a lot of things apply to all games - & they're not wrong! Players consistently say that they love these top 5 things in games, so maybe we should listen to them? #gamedev
