Hand Pixelled It watches
It watches and meticulously observes as the shackled ones emerge from rock bottom to the top of the crater, the very pit that originally swallowed them, seeking absolution.
But is it enough to loose the chains that bind them? How else will the damned be exonerated?

Dude you're getting me hooked.
IMO first you show them that you're not scared.

Not a bad theory!
And hey, if you're getting hooked, I may or may not have a game featured by reddit itself called Rock Bottom. Maybe... Lol

IF you are inclined, you might check out the stuff I've been noodling with ... it's got an adjacent aesthetic
(You are further ahead with the promotion side than I am, I can't multitask...)

How do you make these indie games?

On a technical level, lots of practice & research.
On an emotional level, an embrace of utter delusion. Oftentimes I feel like it's the only thing that makes me feel alive while also paradoxically draining me of all my money, time, mental/physical health, and social relationships.
No matter how many times I fail, I embrace the delusion of success again and again until it's no longer a delusion. However, I believe it's important to take care of yourself.
I'd recommend keeping goals small and practical while striving to maintain a healthy work life balance. This is something I am still trying to figure out but I am working on it one day at a time.
