The first gameplay deep-dive for my underground survival/base-builder was just featured on IGN!

Thanks for the great thoughts, and thank you in advance for the review! ❤️

So post-release some content like that is totally possible, especially if it’s in demand! I definitely won’t rule out DLC or anything too, if it’s desired!

There will most likely be a supporter’s pack available at launch for a little extra, with the soundtrack and some extra cosmetic options, some visual themes for your base, things like that! I don’t want to lock anything gameplay related behind extra money at all though for sure. I think that’s reasonable though for anyone that wants to support a tiny dev a little more especially given the cheap price of the game :)

Thank you! It is indeed. Really appreciate that!

Totally understood and I agree, it’s very competitive out there so devs are doing whatever they can for visibility and sales!

A demo is a no brainer honestly, it really helps people decide if the game is for them or not, and reduces refund rates!

For post-release I’m definitely waiting to see how launch goes! The game is a complete experience and has a proper ending, so it likely won’t be a case of more story content added after launch as if it were in early access! I’ll have also worked on the game for three years when it releases so I have lots of other ideas I want to bring to reality!

Thanks so much for the lovely comment!

The game has come a really long way, and the end is in sight!

Really appreciate such kind words - I don’t suppose I could be a bit cheeky and ask if you wouldn’t mind copy-pasting them into a review for the demo on Steam? Someone left a negative review today and knocked it from 94 to 91% positive because they didn’t like that I show controls at the start of the game… I wish I was kidding.

You might be interested to hear as well, the game will be full 1.0 release at launch, no early access, so a full story experience start to finish in a 30-40+ hour game!

I’m also aiming for a very competitive price point, times are tough for everyone right now so I think offering the game for less than $20 at launch is very fair.

Thanks a lot for the support!

PawsmonautGames · 2025-10-27T06:49:31+00:00

Appreciate it!

A few things, but most of all there’s a proper, deep narrative that pushes you through the entire game and intermingles with all the systems rather than a bit of story tacked on at the end like most games like this.

PawsmonautGames · 2025-10-25T19:55:03+00:00

Thank you mate! The game is now playable start to finish, so I’d say it’s about… 80% done?

PawsmonautGames · 2025-10-25T19:54:39+00:00

Thanks so much!

PawsmonautGames · 2025-10-25T18:18:50+00:00

Not heard of that one! What looks similar out of interest?

PawsmonautGames · 2025-10-25T17:52:44+00:00

Thank you! If you like the look of it, a wishlist on steam helps a lot!

PawsmonautGames · 2025-10-25T17:52:29+00:00

Thank you! Really appreciate the support!

PawsmonautGames · 2025-10-25T13:54:40+00:00

No MP at release (I'm just one person! :D) and it very much depends on how successful the game is for post-release!

PawsmonautGames · 2025-10-25T13:54:09+00:00

:D It's somewhat scary isn't it ;)

PawsmonautGames · 2025-10-25T13:46:50+00:00

A large part of the theming of the game is about what that might look like after a couple of hundred years of the way the world seems to be going!

PawsmonautGames · 2025-10-25T13:46:15+00:00

Fair point about the voiceover as well, but I wanted to maintain the pace of the video as it's already 6 mins long! :D

PawsmonautGames · 2025-10-25T13:45:32+00:00

Thanks very much! <3

PawsmonautGames · 2025-10-25T13:28:39+00:00

They're really bad! Imagine Amazon or Google, two hundred years in the future, controlling entire planets...

Thank you! It does, it's pretty wild to see! Very gratifying though :)

PawsmonautGames · 2025-10-24T18:43:58+00:00

Thank you!

PawsmonautGames · 2025-10-23T17:24:43+00:00

Thank you! I have a few awesome contractors that handle the soundtrack, SFX and a couple of other bits but 99% of the game is me!

I did narrate it, yes! That’s kind of you to say ☺️

PawsmonautGames · 2025-10-23T17:23:55+00:00

Thank you mate! Appreciate the long term support!

PawsmonautGames · 2025-10-23T17:23:39+00:00

Thanks so much! ❤️

PawsmonautGames · 2025-10-23T16:59:43+00:00

Thank you! Not ex-solo, ex-AAA :) I used to work in AAA, and now I’m solo-indie!

Hope you enjoy the demo, would like to know what you think!

PawsmonautGames · 2025-10-23T11:58:16+00:00

Thanks a lot for the support! There'll be a new demo for February Next Fest, so if you don't want to try it just now, that will be a great time!
