holds your face so fucking gently please leave reviews for indie games. please. every single review legit counts, especially if the game is small enough, and you don't even gotta say much if that's the problem!!
like, anything from a long ramble to a simple 'it was good' matters, because steam (and probably also the Other Ones) uses an algorithm. so the more reviews, the more exposure, the more money the dev team gets. like, please. please. leave a review. throw your small indie dev team a bone
You know, even though it's evolved from "paid DLC" to "full sequel", Silksong is technically still a stretch goal from Hollow Knight's 2014 Kickstarter campaign, and everybody who backed that campaign is still entitled to a copy, so if we're being very pedantic, Hollow Knight can in fact be included in the big list of crowdfunded metroidvanias that ended up taking a decade-plus to fulfill.
babe calm down, why don't you go listen to a beautiful video game soundtrack powerful enough on its own to move you to tears, maybe then you'll feel better
Then you should be mad at Unity right now! They are threatening the entire gamedev industry by making sudden new rules about how they charge. This threat is serious and literally could cripple the gaming industry. As an example, the devs of Cult of the Lamb have already said they will remove their game from all stores when the new Unity rules go into place, and I doubt they are the only ones. They will HAVE to do that to protect themselves financially, they are not overreacting. There may still be time to stop Unity, either through public outcry, or legal action, but we need to spread the word.
Here is a list of games on Steam that were made with Unity and therefore could be effected by this. I'll put some of them in the tags, but it's honestly overwhelming.
Constructed primarily from matboard, bristol, cardstock.
Additional materials: toothpicks, masking tape, brass, & beads
Mounted on a plywood base
Glass structure and flowers cut by hand
Foliage lasercut and applied by hand
Painted by hand
The funniest thing about Hornet's gender situation isn't just that being the only child of the Pale King with a gender is apparently sufficiently noteworthy that it's, like, specifically what she's known for. No, the funniest thing is the fact that the gender situation of the Pale King's progeny is so weird that Hornet going by conventional binary pronouns wraps all the way around to supporting her edgy coolkid persona.
