PSA JUST RATE OTHERS & zero other tricks to get people to play your game +I'm in

Getting rated after LD55 ends

YES YELLING IS NECESSARY. The way the discovery system works is that you rate and optionally make thoughtful comments that get liked. Your game then naturally rises up the list to be played, regardless of the quality/presentation of your game. It's unnecessary to: - post your game as a blog post - post in discord - advertise it literally anywhere - do anything else to get rated

Somehow people miss this every LD and end up generating thoughtless comment spam or putting in way too much effort trying to market their game when they could just be putting that effort into rating other games. Postmortems are always fun to read though, just don't make any post with the sole intention of driving traffic to get rated. It's just silly.

Getting an LD rating is so simple though.. just rate others!

+I'm in

I'm in with possibly another unfinished game for the scrap heap. I had the most fun making silly characters in ld31 so I think I'll stand tall and try again. 23130-shot2.png

LD31 is probably the only LD I worked almost the whole weekend too, but the game wasn't great. It reinforces that hard work is not productivity or value. But learning lessons and/or having fun are kind of the whole point!
