That's cool, I love that you folks are out here helping promote indie games. I know how hard it can be to be at the whims of the algorithms.

Hey I just wanted to stop by after playing your demo and say that it was a blast! Me and my buddies were in tears laughing trying to get through the WangJangler. Great execution on the multiplayer.

The race mode was sooo much harder than working with my boys though lol. 🎊

Hey, it's been a minute or 14400 give or take but two things I have been working on are updating some of the visuals to try and bring everything in line and adding a highlight to cards in hand when there is a match on the board. Let me know what you think! ☕🎴

No screenshot for this one but I now have a playable version of my demo running on Android. Still need to modify button sizes for readability and such but it’s looking like my plans for a mobile release are looking good

Back from a small break!

I have a new effect to show. This goes off for each item on a card when that item is activated. This includes other items that trigger other items.

Sorry about the lack of updates recently. I have just been pushing to get my demo together and setting up a second steam page for it so that I can get reviews. I hope to have more soon.

Moving into testing my game's mobile offerings. I have a working version for those on steam who would like to remote play on a mobile device. Next is packaging out an Android version to test and bug hunt on.

Finally finished up the first drafts of all my tutorial maps to help teach the player the various things they need to know.

Now I am tracking down bugs with them and seeing where I can make it more engaging. Need more ☕

Still working on tutorial maps. I have broken them into 4 sections and I am about 70% done with all of them over all. That being said this only took me a couple of minutes but it's just so satisfying.

Update on the Fight Tutorial for my game. Almost finished with it. Need to polish it up and add a few more things but I think it's looking pretty good.

If it looks cool feel free to help me out with a wishlist 👉👈

Mostly just working on my Tutorial level and getting everything to work with the very specific scenarios I will be using to teach the player. I based the look off of the camp site image in game.

The stream was a lot of fun. My game chose today to showed new bugs 😅 but now I am aware of them I can fix them so...good new/bad news?

Also steam fixed my build depot and I was able to push the final boss mechanics Gif if set to "Graphic Media" But is just a spoiler
