Super happy to have my talk from #LGF26 as part of the Self Publishing Toolkit covered by Chris on Game Developer!
Thanks for the support and hopefully the take-aways are helpful you many of you out there starting your next indie game project. ✨🌸
Incredibly excited to see my bestie Lee announcing Tea Imps first title.
Please repost, wishlist and play the demo right now! It would mean the world to this tiny indie team <3
I'm at #LGF2026 today and spoke for the first time as 🌸 Blossom Arcade this morning, on 'Keeping on top of production tasks without a publisher' as part of the Self-Publishing Toolkit ✨️
BIG MILESTONE ❤️
I love sharing numbers so here's a video of how much we spent to make Mythmatch.
I break it down by time, discipline, and funding source.

If you're an indie dev and feel weird about having to market your game and ask/prompt for reviews I ask you to have a mere fraction of the persistence of the dental clinic that has sent me three texts asking me to leave them a review since they pulled a wisdom tooth out three hours ago

Small note. Mass layoffs like these are also a tactic to devalue the work because workers become more desperate while companies create false scarcity.
Do not, ever, forget your worth. Don’t let them win.
You make this industry exist. They don’t.
Game Critix left us the sweetest review! 🥹🐝
We're so glad you're enjoying Dreamwalker—and your kind words mean the world to us.
And so do yours, dear fellow tavernkeepers! If you want to share your thoughts about the game as well, you can always leave a review on Steam👀
