It's time. "Demiurges" is ready. My first game just landed on Steam. If you like Heroes of Might and Magic 3 it will be a perfect game for you. I mixed the great formula of HoMM with the card game. Because of it every game is different and exciting.

Hey, I have great news for you. Tomorrow at 14 CET, Demiurges will be available to buy on GOG. 🎆🎆🎆
I also want to share that I'm working on a mobile port for Android devices.
As indie dev you work hard to make your game as best as you can and still sometimes gets negative review.
Meanwhile Ubisoft when they sell game without executable files:

geniusze z ubisoftu zapomniały dodać plików do gry którą wydały na steamie, żadna inna firma nie jest zdolna do czegoś takiego xDDDD
I don't get how people could defend these loading screens. This is not a design choice, it has no benefits for the players. The only reason is that it's easier for developers to do this that way.
Also, I'm a programmer in this cool project :)

Btw, if you liked what I'm making, you could check my previous project

Today, YouTube just randomly shows me this amazing piece. The amount of sprites that developers need to do to make these smooth rotations is insane.
Making a game based on market analytics is horrible. Maybe it's commercially optimal but soulless. Of course, I want my games to be a commercial success, but I wouldn't change my vision because of market needs/trends.
Actually, there is no way to estimate how many of these 55k refunds are people who finished the game.
In my opinion, finishing a game, liking it, and then refunding is a dick move, but the only solution I see to prevent this is just to make a long enough game.
An indie developer is asking Valve to change Steam’s 2-hour refund policy after more than 55,000 players refunded his game after finishing it.
The developer says his co-op game, Paddle Paddle Paddle, can be completed in under two hours. Because of that, many players finished the game, asked for a refund, and even left reviews saying they enjoyed it but got their money back anyway.
According to the developer, the game has over 90% positive reviews, but the high number of refunds is making it much harder for a short indie game to be successful.
Steam currently lets players get a refund if they bought a game within the last 14 days and played it for less than two hours.
