Whatever pseudonym you choose, don't say it here.
Sure.
Okay, this helped me realize that pseudonyms also have a cost. There are people who like me, who would like to try a game made by me, and maybe even support me by showing the game to their friends. These are the customers I will lose. And LessWrong is an international website; it could be a vector to reach many countries, if I would announce the game in the bragging thread. I'll think about it.
(Alternatively, as a way of building plausible deniability, I might start randomly mentioning new indie developers from Slovakia. Here is my friend Vladoft.)
Bad idea. Then people will get suspicious about the new, great game designer who's conspicuously not being named here.
How do you know Vladoft isn't actually his alias?
