🌲 Hashtag Survival

▻ You can view the work-in-progress database at this link. It’s going well! I actually tweaked the page layout for the individual pages, so I had to go back through and adjust the layout for published pages. I also added a new View - basically a new tab- of games I suggest you avoid purchasing.

▻ I think I’ll designate Wednesdays as the day I onboard games to the database. Right now my next step is to record a walk through explaining the features.

📰 Survival Community Roundup

Thoughts

• Twitter has turned into quite the cesspool. I mean, and that’s coming from someone who dabbled with it for ages. I wonder how this will impact small developers- sure Discord is a great community tool. But you do need to drive eyeballs to the Discord.

Content and News

• Hm, of course when I update Curator to reflect AreaZ lapsing into a coma, the developer revives. Somewhat. I’m going to stick by my “Don’t Buy It” stance, though I’ll tack on a mental ‘now’ and we’ll see if development actually resumes.
  (Steam News)
