I can do Linux Ubuntu, I have a Windows 10 VM and I have a Steam Deck if that helps?

I’ve fallen completely in love with exploring indie demos and participating in community playtests. Finding these incredible hidden gems has become addictive, and my gameplay list is running way too short! I’d love to help put your projects on the map. If you're a developer with a demo or playtest available, drop it below—I regularly feature independent games on our YouTube channel to help bring more eyes to passionate creators.💜 #indiegame #indiedev

That’s a good idea - take a break you’ve earned it! ❤️ Can’t wait to get stuck in on the 16th with your game! ❤️

Mine was the whole 1st episode, 9 levels which is 1/4 of the whole game - I wanted to give players a decent slice to decide whether the rest was for them! It’s the way games used to be distributed, in the Shareware model! People would pay a few $ for a floppy disk with 1/3 or 1/4 of the game on it! ❤️💾

Happy Birthday! My favourite fact is the Doom II end boss is @romero ‘s head! He discovered this and as a prank, recorded a line “To beat Doom II you must defeat me, John Romero”, reversed it, and put the line in the game! 😂😂

#indiedev if you want to connect your games with players and other devs, I’d encourage you to join @GamerPauly’s Discord, the Indie Forge! Great spot to hang out and chat all things gaming. Info is below 👇
To all of the game devs that don't know me, this is what I do and offer exclusively for #IndieGameDevs A weekly one hour, live Twitch show called The Indie Hour with GamerPauly, 1-2 randomly picked #indiegames showcased with a live chat. Episodes uploaded to my YouTube channel for easy access. The Indie Directory, an A-Z of game devs and publishers that all game devs are welcome to join. Events like Indie Bangers where I am streaming at least 2 indie games every day, gamers vote and the most popular one gets gifted via steam straight to a Twitch supporter (I pay for this, not a steam key) A discord server called The Indie Forge, set up for indie devs and gamers to chat, share new ideas and suggestions, with no bots, not paying anything, 18+ and no in your face promos from me or anyone else. There is a lot more, including special sections on my website. If you want to get real eyes on your games, this is why you should... #GETIN & Keep it GamerPauly!
