It increasingly feels like securing a publisher as an indie game dev isn't as much of a "solution" as it used to be. Seems like I'm constantly hearing about devs fighting with publishers or really poor performance on launch. Am I crazy? Is this just some kind of insane bias I've stumbled into because of who I know / the games I pay attention to? Anyone have any like... good stories to share about their publisher?

There are four types of fish scales!

Cycloid scales are thin, overlap, and flexible. They're found on primitive teleosts (like minnows and carp).

Ctenoid scales have small, backwards pointed scales (known as cterns) make the fish more hydrodynamic and faster. They're found on Advanced Ctenoids (like perch and sunfish).

Ganoid scales are thick, diamond-shaped, and mostly non-overlapping. They're found on Chondrostei (like sturgeons and paddlefish).

Placoid scales are spikey and tooth-like with nerves. These are found on Chondrichthyes (like sharks and rays).

edit: apparently necessary disclaimer that everyone and their mother knows about these websites, they can be found through any major search engine, and not talking about them on tumblr dot com won't keep them "secret" because the feds are already more than aware of them.

Finding me elsewhere

I'm not going anywhere for the foreseeable future (I enjoy it here! I like being able to receive and answer asks very easily, and keep up with the blogs I follow!), but if you want to cover all your bases, you can find me at:

Bluesky (hpowellsmith)

Patreon (hpowellsmith) (you can subscribe for free to be emailed when I make public posts; I don't have a newsletter yet, but this is the closest thing to it at the moment)

My website (hpowellsmith.com) (you can keep up with the blog by entering the url of my blog into an RSS reader)

The Choice of Games forum (HarrisPS)

i'm playing wytchwood and it's fine and all but i'm getting pretty frustrated with having to go around and gather ingredients and everything so now i'm just looking at a walkthrough to see what are the necessary items i need for the rest of the game and am starting to make a spreadsheet to see if i can just calculate the numbers of things to get and prepare ahead of time so i don't. have to. keep going to the swamp to get things like oh god please
