Epic Games Store just launched self-publishing for developers. Similar to Steam, there's a $100 fee but they take a smaller cut (12%).

ChatGPT - a chatbot by OpenAI - seems pretty revolutionary! Here are its suggestions on how to market an indie game.
The furniture placement system in Mayor On The Run:
I wrote a post here about it if you're interested in seeing how it was done: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/mayor-on-the-run-igmc-2022.150097/#post-1295942
I've always liked Pixel Art World's and XP's graphics, so I was glad that MZ's 1.5.0 update let me use them for my IGMC game!
I'm not completely satisfied with my manual adjustments of MZ tiles to FSM's style, so I tried Photoshop's harmonization neural filter, which matches color and luminosity. Still not perfect though.
Other filters I tried: Color transfer was terrible; style transfer was amusing because it's probably better for photos and it nearly killed my computer.
Tried spawning 100 cats, each using pathfinding to a random destination, to see if the FPS drops.
Exclamations show they reached their destination. Pathfinding is easy at the moment because every cat has through passability. The end goal is to automate the movement of multiple events to different locations (e.g., if they're hurt, they'll go to the inn).
Created a beachside hotel for the opening cutscene. Still a work in progress.
Trying out some different cathedral designs.
Just released an updated version of The Ghost Cage as a free game on Steam!
Hmm, what will happen if you try to climb down this deep, dark well without a rope? Maybe it'll lead to a different ending in The Ghost Cage!
I tried updating the main character of The Lost Art of Innkeeping with a more summery dress for her next adventure!
I'm adding achievements to The Ghost Cage to help you keep track of which ending you unlocked!
It's thanks to feedback from other rpgmaker devs that you can find some fun stuff to jazz up your home during your quest to find a fallen star!
There's a different game over screen for each of the 4 endings in Forest Star (my Touch the Stars game jam entry). Have you seen this one?
Only a few days left before the end of the Touch the Stars game jam - good luck to everyone making a game!
Took a while to make this beach - wanted to make the crab block the path to the sea! (Tiles by Popodot with edits.)
Evolution of a map: a forest with some dangerous patches that hurt the player. (Tiles by Popodot with some edits.)
Evolution of a map: trying to design a hotel for my next game! Still a work in progress.
Glad I was able to finish and submit The Ghost Cage to the Spooktober Spooktacular Game Jam last weekend! Now it's time to download and play a few of the other submissions! -
