I have a new game in development.
A little bit of progress each day. ๐Ÿ‘

There's something really fun about working on ten levels at the same time. You don't get bored, because you can flip between maps.

My game, Lost Valley of the Frog King was made as a hobby project, purely for fun. ๐Ÿธ

Essentially, I make games for me. But if anyone else enjoys it, that's the icing on the cake. ๐ŸŽ‚

Hmmm...that's weird. Not cool if folks can't find it. Not sure if Steam is laying it out differently for me because the full game store page is live. I'll have to look into it.

Thank you Spooky. ๐Ÿ‘ป
Is there a download demo button on the right hand panel?
Steam have moved the button from where it used to appear...for me anyway. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Drakan: Order of the Flame.

I play it each and every year. It is still my favourite game of all time.

As a hobbyist game dev, it taught me so much about level design too.
