AweKteaM is a small indie studio based in Spain, which is now working on its upcoming roguelite platformer Tower Princess. We spoke with the team about the development and challenges on the way to offering their own vision of the genre.

Game marketing consultant Chris Zukowski has explained why the first 10 reviews a game gets on Steam are the most important. This is a key number, which can significantly boost a project’s visibility.

Roguelites usually have huge replayability, as their gameplay loop motivates players to come back to them over and over again. Indie developer a327ex, who created SNKRX, decided to compare his game’s playtime stats to similar titles on Steam.

Indie developer Tobias Springer, who created Shapez.io as a more approachable and less stressful version of Factorio, has discussed his title’s viral success. So what helped it skyrocket from a simple web game to a $1-million hit?

Imagine you are an indie developer who has been offered about half a million by a publisher. Sounds good, right? But what if the terms of this contract are so exploitative that it might be dangerous to sign it.
