Finally found the right platform for my SNES homebrew games: goodbye Canva, hello Medium!

[SUPER-J11BIT]

Hey everyone!
I finally found the right platform to release my SNES homebrew patches and games.
I used Canva before, but it was too slow and heavy for frequent updates. Now on Medium I can push new patches in real time, with release notes and instructions, simple and fast.

If you're into SNES homebrew, you're welcome! Feedback and testing are highly appreciated.

Hey, thanks so much for the kind words, I really appreciate it . As for the platform switch — I went with Medium because it's super quick to post updates and news, with zero setup or maintenance headaches. I just needed something simple and lightweight to keep people in the loop without extra work. Hope it works for you too! More soon!

Update: I just opened a TikTok account!

I'll be posting the same trailers I put on YouTube, so you can follow me on whichever platform you prefer.
Feedback is always welcome!

Thanks!
By the way, I don't really have a favourite game. I love all kinds of games, because each one has a story to tell.

Hello,

Wouldn't Itch.io suit you better? You can even host your ROMs directly on it.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion!

Yeah, I know Itch.io, it's a cool platform. But honestly, Medium just works better for me when I put out my SNES games. It's quick, there's nothing complicated to fill out, and I don't lose time with it. I just want to focus on making games, you know?

And I guess I also wanted something that felt like mine, something a bit different from what everyone else does. Medium gives me that.

That's a very fair point. At the end of the day, whatever saves you time and keeps you motivated to build games is what wins. Do whatever feels right for your workflow!

Good luck with your projects, I'll keep an eye on your progress from time to time

Haha thanks, you nailed it! Really appreciate it, and it's cool that you'll be checking in from time to time.

Hey everyone,
I wanted to share something with you.
Up until now, I've only used AI to create the posters and box art. All the games I develop, though, are entirely made by me.
But I've decided to stop: I won't be using AI for box art anymore, and I won't be making them anymore. They were just something extra that I can do without.

I'd rather focus on authentic stuff, made with my own hands. Thanks for the support and for understanding this choice.

[SUPER-J11BIT]

Hey everyone, sorry if I keep changing how I handle my patches... I know it gets confusing.
Thing is, Medium has gotten too heavy, and lately the images show up all messed up.
So yeah, I decided to drop it and stick to just YouTube and a shared Proton Drive folder. Two sources, that's it.
I honestly don't feel like hunting for another site that gives me what Medium used to.
So I'm going back to what I did at the start: just a simple shared folder and my YouTube videos.

Thanks to everyone who puts up with me and supports me
