@eniko My head used the wrong version of shipping and I was briefly very very confused :)

Hope this is the very last time you do this (this way) and any future games end up being a more fun and less stress experiences.

@eniko I think to a fair bunch of us you are “our” indie dev since a bunch of us ended up on the fediverse around the same time.

I understood the worry for those that built their livelihood around social media in one way or another, and jumping into something new still scares people.

Now after the game is out, how do you feel about begin active on the fediverse?

@yon i feel great about it. i honestly don't think the launch would've gone over nearly as well without the massive amount of support i got on fedi around launch. aside from people just being super supportive, the release post i made got 1.6k boosts which is phenomenal. i'd recommend fedi to any gamedev who is serious about using social media to help support their work

not just that fedi also played a big part in us even making it to launch. we were afraid we'd run out of money long before august and if it hadn't been for fedi buying our older titles and giving to my patreon and kofi i don't know what i would've done

@eniko You did have a great advantage in being an earlier adopter and being part of a wave (and I don’t see another wave of that type happening to be honest). People like me (I have multiple account for anyone looking at when I joined:)) were looking for people to follow.

Now I’m trying to figure out how to cull my feed:)

Lots of us were/are rooting for you guys. I quipped the other day that I think I like indie devs more than indie games :) There’s a lot of us out there that are devs, loves games, but would never consider a job in the games industry. I think we are hoping to see indie game devs change things for the bigger in the long term.
