25k followers is astounding for this goofball to take advantage of a dying kid trying to pump a card $50.
I need to issue an apology to the family of Avery and everyone else who my Jirachi post offended. That was never my intention for my posts. I’ve been covering the market price shifts of all the major hits in the 30th anniversary and the Jirachi card was one of the few to make a trend upward so naturally I made a post about it. In my original post I was trying to give a little backstory without directly speaking of his death out of respect as to why this card has become a highly desirable card in the community and the meaning behind it. This was never ment to pump bags or anything of that nature but like a lot of my other posts is more to inform people when card prices shift and when to buy before its price is out of reach. The hate I got is deserved and I rightfully own it and I also stand by my original statement that the card should be remembered forever.
Community note
Apology inaccurately claims original Jirachi post gave "backstory without directly speaking of his death." It was instead "BREAKING NEWS!...climbed over the $100 mark...great card to pick up!" with no such content. User sold the card shortly after Avery's death.

So awesome to see feedback like this from someone else's perspective
Just had the opportunity to play void inc by @samtechcoded I can’t believe the demo ended there! What a cliffhanger! Honestly the amount of detail was insane. Man what a game that will be when it’s out!

I am so impressed with how much thought went into all the small details and finer touches that you don’t even think about how much effort goes into creating.
I’m going to need the full game asap because I know I could sink some hours into it 😂
Thanks again Sam for the opportunity to play.

what the fuck are you talking about?! i'd buy that in an instant if i'd discover that on steam somehow... it looks absolutely awesome! and only from that screenshot i'd interpret it as some sort of tamagotchi character style environment where everyhone is basically a tamagotchi and you have to take care of them or treat them based on their inner tamagotchi or something like that...

Last day of fixes Void Inc. Been a blur!
Shout out to the playertesters, it's more valuable than you think; it's directly shaped the demo
Importantly, I have finally found my marketing "voice"
Despite ups and downs + so many doubts; it's coming together for Next Fest!

Not every day is good, sometimes you want to give up, sometimes every bit of advice people give you is negative and it's hard to see through it.
But there are always better days ahead, just like everything else, you really have to work for them and cherish it.
Everyone good?
We know things are tough out there right now.
Indie games have never been an easy place to make a living, but lately it feels as though there is even more pressure. Developers trying to finish games, studios worrying about what comes next, artists and composers looking for work, publishers making difficult decisions, marketing teams trying to get games seen, and plenty of people quietly wondering whether all the effort is going to pay off.
So, with the weekend nearly here, this is simply a message from us at IGD to say: look after yourselves.
Switch off for a bit if you can. Step away from the build. Stop refreshing the numbers. Leave the emails until Monday. Play a game because you want to play it. Spend some time with the people who matter to you, get outside, have a lie-in, watch something rubbish, or do absolutely nothing productive.
Whatever you didn't manage to finish this week will still be there.
IGD has been around indie games for a long time, and one thing that has never changed is that behind every game, studio, project, trailer, press release and social post is a person.
Sometimes things go brilliantly. Sometimes a game doesn't find the audience it deserves. Sometimes opportunities disappear, projects stall, money gets tight or you simply have a bad week.
You don't have to pretend every week has been a good one.
We're all part of the same corner of the games industry, so let's keep looking out for one another.
Have a good weekend when it gets here. We're going to play some of the Indie Games we've bought and added to our library and get back to it fresh on Monday.

Thanks everyone! Just hit 60 wishlists on Steam. Yeah it’s not a lot, but every one still means a lot to me.
Gonna skip October Steam Next Fest and wait for February. I want the demo to be in a better place first.
If the game looks interesting, a wishlist would help a ton.

Does anybody know how to setup cool camera angles to make the executions more dynamic ? I tried the level sequencer but was running into a bunch of problems. I want executions to flow into gameplay.
