@MattRix Seems pretty bad! My math may be off, but this seems way higher than the 5% license fee from Unreal? $2M * 0.05 = $100k I'm also confused - is it $23.5k per month? If installs drop off after launch, it'd be less next month, right? I'm not clear from the FAQ.

One of the coolest mechanics in Legends of Runeterra is the 'level up' mechanic for heroes. You improve your hero cards by completing achievements. Bramble Royale has a similar mechanic - feats. The crowd challenges you to complete objectives and you're rewarded for doing so.

Great year for Krumit in 2021, with $133k net revenue (lifetime $330k since EA launch in Nov 2019). Split is quite evenly across Steam/iOS/Android lifetime. In 2021, split was 34% Android, 46% iOS, 20% Steam. Journeys is still chugging along at ~15% of Krumit's 2021 revenue.

This is why I feel the comments about Elden Ring having "bad quest design" are missing the point. Adding markers all over a map doesn't make a game good; it takes away the mystery.

The success of Elden Ring confirms something I've said for years; that the potential to be surprised is critically important for an open world game with exploration as a key feature. If you know you'll never be surprised the game just becomes filling out lists.

Getting *really* tired of 1-star reviews like this for non currency, non-gacha IAP. Maybe I'm old now, but I feel like the 90's/00's 'expansion pack' model for paid games, where devs release optional add-on content you can buy, was a fair model to extend the life of a game.

One of the paradoxes of game dev I've found is that I get more experienced, things take longer & it's harder to ship. When I shipped the original Meteorfall, I was relatively inexperienced and didn't really overthink the design. I just implemented stuff and shipped it when it

Blown away by the success of Krumit's Tale in Japan on iOS! #1 in Cards and a very solid 2nd in terms of overall units sold (by a pretty large margin). A big thank you once again to @tobinet for the translation and to all the Japanese players who've checked it out!

For #screenshotsaturday , working on Greybeard's card set. One area of interest: 'unspent energy' interactions as a mechanic (ala Marvel Snap). Also featuring some new Mutant Biker art from @EvgenyViitman ! Next up: bringing back the Scavenger from original Meteorfall.

Was using ChatGPT to help me brainstorm some name ideas for this Trash Golem opponent. Took a lot of iterations and coaxing to get the thematically appropriate names I was looking for, but eventually it spent out 'Sludgehammer' which I think is perfect! Currently working on

Incredible feature slot on @AppStore Games tab today for Krumit's Tale! Also showing up in 'New Games We Love'. Glad we could show off more of the great promotional artwork @EvgenyViitman illustrated for the game!

Working on Meteorfall: Journeys a bit today! *Almost* finished implementing Varfa's abilities (more than 30 brand new ones, plus companion abilities!) Still testing and fixing a bunch of other bugs reported. The art for 'Master's Bond' (in the screenshot) is one of my favorites!

A crowd gathers in the arena for an epic fight between Mischief and Sawbones on #screenshotsaturday Not implemented yet, but I'd love to make an animated, cheering crowd that gets hyped up as you chain together combos or land a big hit.

Muldorf is one of my favorite heroes in #meteorfall and thanks to @EvgenyViitman , the Necrodude himself lives on (with💀, of course) in the next Meteorfall game! We've done Bruno and Rose - which classic hero would y'all like to us bring to life next? #spine2D #indiegame

One of the fun parts about drawing more is getting to do fan art! Recently did his one of #shovelknight in the style of Meteorfall. I still haven't really nailed the style, but it's good practice either way. #procreateart #characterart #indiedev

A little over 3 months since Meteorfall launched, it just today ticked over the $50k mark in proceeds (revenue - app store cut) for US/INTL markets (not incl. China) Thanks for all the support! I'll have a new blog post about the #'s and what's next in the coming weeks

Queen of Shadow update is coming soon for #meteorfall ! It adds the first unlockable skin to the game 'Rose, Queen of Shadow' and helps support a new Curse focused archetype for her. I'm also looking for beta testers for iOS/Android - DM me w/ your email if interested!

Still working on the Necrodude update for Meteorfall, but in between - working on a new prototype with @EvgenyViitman that I'm calling "Tile Game" for now. It's also a kind of deck building game like Meteorfall, but it's played on a 3x3 dungeon grid

Sharing a few of my favorite games from Steam Next Fest (will update thread as I go) My favorite so far is Wildfrost, a roguelike deckbuilder. Unit / lane based - feels fresh & has snappy UI. Features the amazing art of @Gaziter , whom I'm a huge fan of.

This wasteland town is coming together really quickly! The amount of art assets, environments, characters, etc... is going to be an order of magnitude greater than the previous #meteorfall games combined. Feels amazing to see these characters come to life in a 'real' environment!

Inspired by some juicy UI I saw in my timeline this week to add some UI juice to Meteorfall: Bramble Royale. Still getting the hang of how to get this right, but it definitely makes a huge difference in how 'fun' the UI feels.

Got bored of working on hard stuff like AI, so I took a break to work on a simple intro for the battle 😄 #meteorfall #screenshotsaturday #indiegame
