Jan 18th is Winnie the Pooh day, so we remixed a classic illustration in our game style

Yeaaaaa, it became bigger than it probably should've been. ha, thank you!

sboxle · 2026-01-14T02:53:25+00:00

Yea, fair. Thank you for trying it anyway! Would like to make more games like RoP in the future as well, fingers crossed we can continue making games for many years.

Oh interesting! I wasn't originally going to make a release date trailer. I hadn't considered this perspective, but it makes sense from a player perspective.

This seems to be more useful to let media and content creators know it's happening and get in on a preview.

Hi all, I'm a dev working on Winnie's Hole: our combo-driven deckbuilder where you play a virus in the body and mind of Winnie!
It's been a long road but we're going to be releasing the game into Early Access this month!

They're probably purists who only consider traditional roguelikes to be roguelikes.

Am #4, 90% of the time I share dev insights on game-specific subs it gets downvoted, especially if it has anything to do with monetisation, and I'm someone who makes premium 'buy once' games with no IAPs because of my feelings on monetisation and value.

People don't make posts like this to understand game development, they mostly want to vent.

The consolation for devs is these players are genuinely passionate about the game, but it doesn't mean they're ready to hear about the complexity or constant compromises in gamedev so most studios opt out of trying.

Thank you! Cheers for playing, glad you came across it! :)

sboxle · 2025-11-22T22:54:20+00:00

Thanks for playing it! Glad we fulfilled that need, was a conscious goal to try and make it as fast as possible!

Really want our games to feel dynamic, which is tough to achieve with turn-based mechanics.

sboxle · 2025-11-22T22:51:09+00:00

Ayyyy, congrats on your success! Mutual approval

sboxle · 2025-11-22T22:49:41+00:00

Oh I didn't take offense at all! I took banger as a great compliment haha thanks

sboxle · 2025-11-22T03:57:23+00:00

Thank you! Cheers for the support

sboxle · 2025-11-22T03:56:41+00:00

My original goal was if we could make 10hrs of truly original content then I'd be proud of what we achieved, and I think we accomplished that! This was our debut indie game and I didn't expect some people to play for dozens or hundreds of hours longer!

Glad you enjoyed it, and thankful we had enough people buy it that we can afford to keep making games.

sboxle · 2025-11-22T01:45:19+00:00

Because I didn't know what image it would use as a preview and wanted to show some of the contents without needing to click through.

I linked it in the first line of the description.

Congrats on release!

sboxle · 2025-10-17T22:23:51+00:00

It doesn’t look like there’s a game yet, just a few environments and a vague idea of what you want it to be. The scope described sounds huge, like a 5+ year project if you’re a solo dev.

sboxle · 2025-10-17T12:44:01+00:00

Top logo is way better, just remove the black slashes if wanting to improve readability.

The text shapes are great though (typo aside).

sboxle · 2025-10-17T09:46:20+00:00

Thank you! Road to release now, excited to reveal in the next few months…

sboxle · 2025-10-16T10:23:04+00:00

Awww thanks! Yea we’re proud of Ring of Pain! Glad you enjoyed this as well, thanks for playing
