Oh thank you! Its most fun with friends as an arena game as the NPC ai is still just getting going. Feel free to join our discord to find other players. We have a mini tournament every Monday night too. :) we hoped to meet other gamers or devs on this journey. Awesome! https://discord.gg/ahZGXCvTH
While we get distracted with other despotic forces we cannot forget: fuck the CCP.
Im going to share this with the team thank you :)
I am a co founder of Hermertia Wars. Bunch of indie devs making our dream come true by working on an Action RTS that takes characters from our 13+ year lore playing minecraft community, and makes them heros you control while recruiting villagers, soldiers, and directing economy. Like AOE/warcraft 3 meets smash bros. Early game. We have a long project in mind. Would love new playtesters or meet folks interested in indie dev :). We are also a workers cooperative which is the best part.
Meanwhile we were so afraid to hit submit we tested for months even if we were just launching a playtest build. Sweating before every early build submission and our steam review.
Even if it was actually a rubber stamp im glad we took so much care and am glad steam is setting up more tests like this.
I misread sorry. You dont think its okay to sell asbestos but is fine to sell carcinogenic coal. Fine. Stop calling me elitist because I think its bad to push coal exports. The folks who benefit from coal exports are energy elites not every day people. You are the one pushing elitism.

WHO estimates 200,000 deaths each year from asbestos. Let alone diseases and illnesses. You are defending this? You sound like a cartoon character capitalist.
Coal causes serious respiratory issues and is carcinogenic. Toronto had regular smog days until they closed the coal plants. It has an immediate impact on health. You pushing for coal sales is like pushing for us to continue to export asbestos. Its an ethics question you are bypassing. Making people sick for profit.
The already mostly foreign owners will brag about their exit, Lockheed Martin will shutter canadian jobs, and canada loses out. Now we learned from Stelco that Americans are buying up canadian tech just to destroy it. We need to wake up. US are our enemies.
No for sure. But itch asks us to limit ourselves. Others here saying hey lots of reasons to stick with itch and to every comment I agree 100%. But we made a decision for a vision and itch’s model limited us.
You are still asking us to signicantly downscale our design goals to accommodate itch. We are releasing our game free on steam anyway. So its not like we are hurting our community by choosing steam. But yes tonnes of games fit within itch platform and that’s awesome. Just not all game designs.
As an indie dev let me just say wed rather not limit our game to GameCube graphics. No offense to that special era and esthetic
For sure! But as an indie dev building a 3d arena game (an action rts) we so badly wanted to publish on itch but cant. Its a great platform for certain genres was my point.
So do I and not all of them do. The older ones more likely to. Younger ones much less likely to. But thats not really the point. The Act has a lot of paternalistic elements.
Problem is itch has a very low max disk size requirement. They wont host games over 2gigs. That basically leaves you with graphic novels and 2d games.
The Indian Act reinforces a number of prejudices and injustices (including the name itself). Today Indigenous have a long court precedent to lean on to protect their treaty rights. Some Indigenous believe the time is right to lean more on the latter (courts) than the former (the act).
The corruption isn’t just Bibi he just champions it. But true overall point.
Because the US hubris led to a point where they literally believed no one would fight back. Venezuela fueled that psychosis too sadly.
Indie dev here and day job is an AI consultant, engineer and academic. Truth be told genai just isnt that good. It averages to the mean so it will only really be useful for some things. The issue isnt no AI or all AI but about disclosing how much and when. Using llms to support (but not replace) programming borrows from stack overflow so is less a copyright issue. But fully replacing your code or artists with gen ai will make for shit games.
