Within the creative industry in Japan Nissin's sponsorships are pretty common and well respected. For example steamboy, one of th most expensive anime productions, relied on it. So the placement in ff is if anything a mark of quality.

Thanks! As it happens Mod support, an in-game map editor, plus Steam workshop support is our next planned update after release. True, weaving up and down can get you far but you still need to mix tracks. I think a big difference is Factorio

That makes sense. I've been running a bunch of ads, and honestly I think they are a powerful technique for indies. We don't need to convince press, journalist, or a publisher. We can let our game speak for itself directly in front

Thanks eh. Certainly Factorio was a major inspiration, along with Railroad Tycoon and Transport Tycoon. Personally I wanted to concrate the fun I experienced when building new factories in Factorio. The clean slate and excitement of getting

Well lol, we're not actually unlimited. Over the campaign players unlock new tech which caps out at 10 levels high. With each track requiring 2 levels of clearance. So the max layering is 5 tracks deep. Until mods... It helps that our

Those are neat ideas, but I don't want to lien on references to other games when marketing our own game. I want to play up the strength and what makes our game unique & special. Plus as an indie the biggest hurdle is "getting

Oh that link is helpful! I've had a few other players ask for Geforce Now but I always thought the question of support or not was Nvidia's. With that form I can try and sign us up right away. We already support cloud saves so enab

Guys, you are allowed to negotiate and ask for more money. This is supposed to be a business centric forum and you all are taking the list offer at face value! For a flexible contractor with the experience and a desire to make hay from a de

This is a great example of the power of spending all your money. Notice how many developers are saying they'd accept a revenue share on top of the existing per seat fee. If Unity had not overspent their revenue no one would be showing

Yours is a common reaction. Even many indiedevs (in the gamedev discords I am in) could not believe the implications. Unity's policy is so silly it is hard to believe. Unfortunately, the leadership at Unity does not agree with you. Uni

Municipal style "network" onsen will distribute onsen water but the broad distribution means the water cools down. My guess would be the city does not wish to run the reheaters during low use periods. Onsen piping requires mainten

The platform wishlist breakdown occurs when players make a specific choice. Players use it as a "vote" for their platform. Thus Linux users are voting for Linux trying to convince us as devs to support them, Mac users are doing li

Statcounter is websites, games are not websites and you need to use an appropriate data source. Steam reports 1-2% for Mac users. My own game's wishlist stats are showing Mac is less popular than linux!
