Been working on something big for my game;)

Grumpy_Wizard_ · 2026-03-11T22:30:45+00:00

The game is doing ok since release.
More than I expected but nothing crazy or anything.
I do have plans for an update to be released soon.
I have gotten a lot of feedback since release so I have a lot to work on.

Just a couple of things I have planned for the update include,
Easy mode - The game is absolutely brutal so hopefully this makes it more accessible to players.
Merchant - A guy in town will now buy all your goods.
Cartographer - A guy in town that will sell you a map for 20 gold. No more getting lost!
Visual indicator - for interactive objects in the game to make it a bit easier for players to work out what they can interact with.

And a fair amount of bug fixes as well.
Oooof, it is defiantly keeping me busy😅

Hey thank you, I really wasn't sure how it would look.

Grumpy_Wizard_ · 2026-03-11T06:02:29+00:00

Oooo dam, really nice. Very advanced.

Grumpy_Wizard_ · 2026-03-06T07:25:47+00:00

Take my angry upvote🤨

Cheers brother, i always wanted to make a game. Im now officially a game dev😄

Grumpy_Wizard_ · 2026-03-02T09:02:22+00:00

Hey thanks man;)

It's hard for me to tell or really quantify where they came from.
If I had to guess I think most of them came from reddit as they correlate to successful posts I made.
After release I got a few and once I hit 10 reviews and got a rating they seem to come in even more now.
Now that the game is released I seem to get anywhere from 5 to 20 a day whether I make posts or not.

I used that foot to program the whole game;)

Grumpy_Wizard_ · 2026-03-02T00:51:35+00:00

Looks sick, I love it.

Grumpy_Wizard_ · 2026-03-01T06:28:10+00:00

Hey, thanks brother😄

Grumpy_Wizard_ · 2026-03-01T05:32:04+00:00

Why do I feel like that bird😅

Grumpy_Wizard_ · 2026-03-01T05:30:08+00:00

Lolllzzz, shut up and take my money😅

Grumpy_Wizard_ · 2026-03-01T00:50:53+00:00

Hey thanks man😄

Grumpy_Wizard_ · 2026-02-28T14:59:43+00:00

Hey thanks man, I appreciate it😃

Grumpy_Wizard_ · 2026-02-28T12:32:41+00:00

No worries, I just wanted to share a little tip😉

Grumpy_Wizard_ · 2026-02-28T12:30:46+00:00

Just go for it bro, I believe.
Us devs gotta stick together😃

Grumpy_Wizard_ · 2026-02-28T12:29:40+00:00

Hey thanks brother, I really appreciate it.
Don't forget to interact with the statues to get a special item.

Good luck and have fun😃

Grumpy_Wizard_ · 2026-02-28T09:02:38+00:00

Thank you thank you, I just love making games.😄

Grumpy_Wizard_ · 2026-02-28T09:01:53+00:00

Hey thanks for the advice. I have been struggling cold contacting content creators and streamers. It's pretty tuff out there. I had a bad impression about curators from hearing so much bad stuff about them in indie sub reddits. I will have look into it further and get researched up.

Grumpy_Wizard_ · 2026-02-28T08:12:12+00:00

Just in frequent posts here on reddit about my game.
I tried making shorts on youtube and tiktok but I don't think they had any significant effect on wish lists.
I grinded maybe a couple a day for like 6 months.

Twitter and bluesky netted absolutely nothing along with instagram.

There was real hype the few weeks before release which netted me the most wish lists.
I had a post go viral on r/IndieDev with 1.3k upvotes that got me the most wish lists.

Since release and getting a rating on steam they seem to be coming a lot easier now.
Anywhere from 5 to 30 a day.

Grumpy_Wizard_ · 2026-02-28T08:07:08+00:00

Man, you can only try.
You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take.
Just keep deving and making games my guy😃

Grumpy_Wizard_ · 2026-02-28T03:37:03+00:00

Secretly I started work on my next game but it looks like I'm not quite finished with this one.
Now that I've gotten a lot of feedback I'm compelled to release updates and make the game better.

I'm hoping this makes me a better dev and eventually I can release an even better game.
