Why I Turned Down a Publishing Deal @Aarimous

Uploaded September 2024 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

As a solo indie game developer I have to go with my gut and given my current funding and vision for Hexagod, working with a publisher just isn't the right decision for me right now.. but only time will tell if this was a mistake.

$The worst part of solo game dev.. One of the hardest parts of game dev is fixing a bug you cant reproduce that only a small fraction of your players experience. Heres a cautionary tale about an elusive bug Ive fought for the past 3 months in my upcoming game Hexagod.
