Recesses on Steam
It's recess. Time to play cards, find your missing friend, discover the meaning of life. The usual 5th grade playground stuff.

man, someone should really make a game about how miserable/hopeless it is to be a kid right now.
maybe wrap the deeper message in a cutesy card game, maybe have fifth graders discuss society/capitalism/human existence on the playground at school...
oh.

** MINOR RECESSES SPOILERS **
For anyone who's played the game, what battle did you find the most difficult? Lots of people say Clair, but I'm interested if there are any others that people struggled with.
Only about 3 playtesters finished the game, so I didn't have a lot of data to balance with 😆

1% of game dev is doing all the programming and design and writing and art and music and stuff, and 99% of it is figuring out why one line of text moves five pixels when you open the menu but only every second time you do it.

2 years ago, watching Thabeast live, grinding away through one of my favorite N64 games for 50+ hours, was what helped me grind away at finishing my own game.

This is maybe a weird hot take but: more game devs, especially for online games, need to be able to tell their players to fuck off and just play the game as the devs intended.
Like, so many balance changes and adjustments to gameplay for supposed "quality of life" changes I keep seeing in games...

i don't think i'll ever understand the enjoyment of games that are, by and large, clones of other games. inspiration is one thing—we're all inspired by something—but...there's a fine line, i think.

True, because they already did. If indie games didn't exist I probably wouldn't be playing games anymore.

making RPGs may seem really difficult, but don't give up. taking a game from an idea to a finished product can involve so many hours writing, editing, testing, learning new skills, iterating on your work over and over again... but never lose sight of the big payoff: your game might just net you $300
