Developer blindness was having every single play-tester say "You should probably explain thisโ€

So in-lieu of having an introductory demo (yet), I wrote an encyclopedia...

After 15 months, my first ever game feels like... well, a game. And that's amazing...

Those subtle dropouts midway through are the compression messing up when the dragons wing flap sounds play!

Its amazing what difference music can have on your game! And yes, before you ask, you can skip the intro animation if you're a heathen...

It took me over 14 months of development to finally come up with a design for the player character travelling merchant... Who says that I'm bad at time management?

This is what 16 months of learning Unity from scratch looks like. Please clap.

Iโ€™m not saying itโ€™s perfect, but it runs.

The combat is only one half of the coin! Everything else like in the journey; the random events, gathering, crafting etc. all add ways to change up the combat so that it doesn't get repetitive

As we see AA and AAA titles hitting the PC market at an increased price where previously they may have been free, it will likely push price-conscious players towards Gamepass-esque subscription models or hopefully cheaper indie games!

Do you think that this swing has anything to do with game studios seeing the general increase in game prices? Many of the studios that went f2p years ago will come back to an environment of ยฃ80 games

I've been building this little strategy RPG roguelike solo for 14 months now, I'm curious what you think!

Steam Store Steam is the ultimate destination for playing, discussing, and creating games.

Trailer Tuesday is just a thinly-veiled opportunity for developers to share links to their Steam page...

Anyway, here's my Steam Page, check out my trailer:

Online discourse can be unbearably toxic for devs, but not nearly as toxic as this little AOE asshole enemy I made.

Even as an indie dev with a small to non-existant following, Bluesky is head and tails above X for engagement and reach. Plus it doesn't buzz my phome notifications with the musings of cunts

$80 for a AA Game? There'll be a lot more people eyeing up the indie market pretty soon I'd wager...

Can't have studio heads leave if you're a solo developer... it's a little hack that the industry doesn't want you to know
