    Thanks for the RT, got me to check my tags again and sure enough Steam had inexplicably replaced all the stuff I'd set earlier via the tag wizard with junk, so the store page had become a bunch of generic meaningless tags. WTF ...

    This seems like a solid actionable list for indie developers selling games on Steam.

    Here is an inspiring story of how a dev made tiny incremental changes to his game's Steam page and went from earning ~5 wishlists a day to more than ~25. Look at this chart: A thread of how you can improve your steam page too 👇👇👇/1

    Today while streaming a new prerelease build of Cogmind I discovered it looks pretty neat to explore caves with the new Structural Scanner :)

    A huge part of why we decided to publish Jupiter Hell is the fascinating story of how it came to be. From pen-and-paper RPGs, through Aliens and Alien Breed, to Doom the Roguelike and beyond. 20 years of history wrapped up in one amazing interview by !

    In the latest patron build there's also a controversial (to me :P) feature for examining the precise FOV of any bot, friend or foe. Probably won't be in the final version, but I did write a lot about it and shared a few demos.

    While at it I also added some more QoL, expanding the volley overlay to color code terrain based on whether or not you're capable of destroying it, automatically taking into account most factors and even using different colors based on whether your capability is in inventory.

    In short, I designed a ruler overlay that allows you to quickly measure the distance between any two points on the map.
