@MomsSecretObs@IndieCurator@StudioDraxi That is possible.
In this case, I built it based on a friend' s request, and he streams on Twitch, hence the Twitch compatibility.
My friend @studiodraxi wanted a check-in button for his stream.
So I built one. And made it free for everyone.
No ads. No payments.
And the more you show up, the more confetti you get. 🎉

Not dead.
Just busy.
The last month was mostly projects, administration, and a detour into software dev.
That helped me to relax and refocus.
It also led to a really productive collaboration on several projects.
Game dev will be back in October, once those software projects are wrapped up.
I will share them here as they release.

I'm sick of conventional indie game marketing so I'm trying something different.
Devlogs look like they perform great but the audience targeting often isn't good - if you're a gamedev you want your audience to be gamers, not other devs.
So I'm throwing out all the conventional wisdom and trying something weird. I'm making my own Let's Plays.
Yeah it's super competitive buuut the audience targeting is perfect. If ANYONE watches my Let's Plays they'll likely be my ideal customer. So I don't care if the views are low, I care that the viewer is the right kind of viewer.
I've been doing this for only about 2 weeks now and my views have been between 80-200 per video but already one of them is way outperforming my expectations (1,100 views, pictured below).
My plan is to do this for about a year and see how it goes. I have a suspicion that this is the new meta for marketing your own games. It's easy, fun, and doubles as playtesting. I can't lose. Even if the marketing part doesn't succeed I'm still getting something out of it.
So no more grinding for weeks and months to make a devlog that people might watch. I'm going all in on Let's Plays.
EXITRUN is currently going through a major redesign.
This includes the thematic direction, world setting, parts of the core gameplay, and supporting game loops.
That is why things have been quiet here for the past few weeks.
I will share more once the new shape of the game is clear enough to present.

One day you wake up and realize your game has become a collection of systems, while the core idea got buried under the bloat.
That is EXITRUN right now.
Maybe a decent tech demo, but missing the game part. The fun.
I would rather redo the whole thing than release something I do not believe in.
So the theme of the next few weeks is:
PRUNE, PIVOT & REDESIGN.
PS: No worries, Conrad stays. I know you all love him.

The older concept looked more interesting visually, but this version is much more practical.
It opens up the center of the viewport and gives me more room for interactions.
