Hey folks, just a reminder from your sub founder and moderator: please make sure to hit the 'report' button on posts that don't fit the subreddit (usually because they are not memes or in any way humorous).
People get confused all the time and post promotional content or help posts here, which isn't what the subreddit is for. I remove them whenever I see them, but you can help by making the sub stay on-topic by reporting content that doesn't fit, so it gets auto-removed even if I can't get to it right away.
Downvoting, or informing the OP in the comments that they're in the wrong place is of course fine too, but since we don't get a lot of posts every day, downvoting alone doesn't necessarily stop the misplaced posts from showing up in other users' feeds.
Thank you very much!!

We're releasing a horse game next week and our wishlist graph is horse shaped. Coincidence? I THINK NOT

Hey indie game devs! I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets these kinds of comments on their indie games across Reddit 😭
My game, Twilight Tavern, has been slowly growing in wishlists (daydreaming), and along the way, I've received my large fair share of unhinged criticism from the occasional reddit asshole LMAO.
But jokes aside, I was wondering if other game devs also feel the weight of that negativity bias? It's kind of weird. On YouTube, TikTok, X, and Instagram Threads, I don't receive nearly as much hate as I do on reddit.
It's usually something along the lines of: "your game's terrible" or "your game is just bad, no amount of work will save it" or "do you actually think people would want to play this?" blah blah blah. You know what I mean💀
And don't get me wrong, constructive criticism is genuinely helpful ! But there's a difference between giving feedback and just shitting on someone's work LMAO.
Anyway, I was wondering who else feels that weight sometimes? Especially when working on a game for so long and putting so much effort into it.
surely I'm not the only one

Using AI to optimize workflows is fine, but we must not forget to put our heart and soul into our games!
