Most of the flair descriptions say "no flair description available", and are gray.
They used to be all color coded and have appropriate descriptions.
The filter posts on the right seem to have unique colors, but I don't think they work anymore.
Basically all the old reddit layout color coding CSS needs work in this sub. Thanks.
My game, Gun Knight All Day is 70% off for the steam sale.

Is it S-tier? Nope! Is it particularly innovative? Probably not.
But it is ~$1.50 right now.
It was my first commercial game. It is quite challenging. I recommend playing with a controller. I hear it works well on the steam deck too.
It's solo developed. I released it about 2 years ago. I recently picked it up again and started adding some features and improving some things.
Recent improvements include:
With an eye towards helping devs not make the same mistakes.
So one that I heard was lacking a save feature. Another might be not being able to rebind keys.
Any other big or common ones come to mind?
I had a low health heartbeat sound effect. I thought it would increase the tension and warn players that their health was low.
The playtest version of the game was too hard, the sfx was too loud, so players had this sound effect playing most of the time. It stressed people out too much and it was pretty much universally hated.
I'm interested in hearing from people who have actually done this.
Say you never put out a demo, released the game, and then released a demo later. Did it generate any interest in your game?
Increase sales? Decrease sales? Maybe not much of a change at. Increase in wishlists?
And please, feel free to link your game/demo as you share your stories.
Probably not useful for this sub, but maybe for others like r/playmygame.
Probably won't apply to this subreddit, but might be interesting for other subs, like r/playmygame.

I was poking around on itch and I had never noticed the browse game engines page before. Good way to find smaller engines if you're into that, and also to see a list of games on itch made with each engine. Enjoy!

Pretty fun. I was surprised I didn't already see a post for it.
Any hidden gems there? Something you found particularly interesting or useful?
So in godot, like what would be your fav node type, and what does it do?
In unity it would be a component. I'm sure there's an equivalent for unreal/whatever other engine.
So it could be something super useful, fun, or weird. Just something that stands out to you. Bonus points if it's a less well known thing.
As I learn more about different game engines I'm always impressed with how much functionality is already built in if you only know about it.
I just stumbled upon it, figured I'd share it.
I'd never heard of some of the smaller ones.
These tools should be useful or at least interesting for anyone working in Godot.
The github page does a pretty good job of explaining what the tools can do, with short demo videos.
