Check out the two-year journey of Skeleseller (consolidated into half an hour): youtu.be/ADFAs0dshKQ

It took a lot of work to get to this point!

It took ~16 months, but Skeleseller finally has 10k wishlists! πŸŽ‰

It launches in just two more months (March 17th). Hopin' I can garner even more wishlists before then. 🀞

Do *you* know a game dev trying to release a game? If so, give them a hug because they are STRUGGLING.

It only took >1 year, but you can *finally* bring customers an item that they desireβ€”no more having to wait for them to walk aaaaaall the way across town.

They'll also tip a comically large amount if you've already found valuable loot!

We had a working name of "Sellaton", but the name never actually appears in the game, nor can the player name them (Skeleseller is relatively light on story and dialogue). πŸ˜…

I wrote silly descriptions for most of the boss items in Skeleseller, but people rarely see them, so here are my favorites.

@smallsthekobold.bsky.social Hey, I tried your game! I have some feedback (feel free to ignore it). I'm attaching it as an image because I'm on my Windows machine which has no real access to my GitHub or personal site for uploading text more permanently than a paste service. :(

Best game of Day 5 of the Steam Next Fest: Skeleseller by @adamlearns.bsky.social.

Also, much thanks to him for the raid. It gave me my most viewed stream of all time.

New perk: GARBAGE TIME! Workers won't clog shops again. 😀

(I recommend enabling sound on this video for an explanation of what's happening)

P.S. Skeleseller will be in Next Fest TOMORROW! πŸŽ‰

You can now resize battle windows in Skeleseller (small, medium, or L A R G E)! Elite battles will automatically take place in the largest size.

(the sizes look tiny in this GIF, but they're much more reasonable in-game)

Just a little GIF of the new item-purchase animation in Skeleseller (it's sort of subtle). I'm happy with how it turned out! #gamedev #indiegame #idlegame #screenshotsaturday

Hey, Skeleseller is only desktop platforms for now (Windows, macOS, and Linux), but if it does well after launch, we may make mobile versions.

And Bot Land is in the process of being open-sourced, although there won't be any active development on it. 😒

Thanks for following! 😁

Thanks! 😁 It's been in development for juuuust about a year now, and we're getting it ready for Next Fest in June. Lots of rounds of feedback have led us to our current set of systems.
