Zagaleus - Gambuzinos

Are frequent updates something you'd prefer, or would you rather wait for big announcements, such as a demo release? There's so much I'd love to share about the process of making this game, but I also don't want to spoil much or create expectations for features that may be dropped. 2/2 #gamedev

Confession: I struggle with communication. Over the past months, and despite working a full time job, I've been making quite a lot of progress on #Gambuzinos. Yet, I haven't posted about it at all. I'm always very torn about creating hype for a project far from completion. 1/2 #gamedev

A couple of weeks ago I was at Portalegre Gaming Fest with the first public demo of #Gambuzinos. I can't describe the reception that this little passion project got from those who played it at the event, except that it was extremely motivating. I'll share more soon! #gamedev #indiegame

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! I've been working on this game for a while now and hope to have a demo ready very soon!

Don't tell anyone.

Thank you so much!

The three aligning is not that uncommon. The problem is when the secret fourth circle "games I'm able to finish, publish and market" lies fully outside of the diagram.

Hey, thank you for your feedback! Actually, the backsprite being at that scale is intentional! It's precisely to mimick the Gen 1 Pokémon style which did the same, I assume due to technical constraints. If I ever do a Gen 2-inspired game it will definitely have full resolution backsprites

That sounds pretty interesting. Lately I've been expanding the legendary pantheon and writing a lot of lore for my game (in large part inspired due to certain leaks). I'll follow you!

Thank you! I'm really happy how it turned out as well and that's why it got the #100 slot!

That's so cool! You should do Rotom as well!

Thank you so much! Fun fact - it's based on a meteor. On the week that I decided to post it, a meteor of the same color crossed the skies of Portugal, which is the basis for the region!

Hello! My name is Zagaleus and I'm developing a monster collecting game called Gambuzinos where you can explore the Galus Region based on #Portugal! Follow for dev updates, concept art, sprites and more! Our three starters Leoseed, Charglet and Gotagon also say hi!
