It‘s crazy to me that with a few of my games turning 10 years old, I had a players come and say „I played this game when I was a kid“ and now they are 20 and going to colledge. But I was still 10 years older as them now, when I made those games. A true hide the pain moment 🥲.

Currently working on adding @maxfiedler.bsky.social new interaction FX animations to #CardCrawl2. Here you can see Master Wu's hero spell card (Meditate) in action, which refreshes already used inventory items.

It‘s not all bad, but even I would not recommend new devs to go mobile first. It‘s extremly tough out there.
mobile is in such an unjustifiably terrible place right now. find me a single indie dev that doesn’t have an existing audience and isn’t using a gross business model on mobile to survive. just one! i don’t know any success stories like that over the last few years.

I recently refreshed my Itchio portfolio and added Gnomitaire (2020) and 2 super old projects of mine. One Tap RPG (2014) and Matchagon (2012).
Very surprising:
I could open both projects in Unity 6 easily and with some work make them work like they did 10+ years ago.

So I made the smallest game I could.
This is sapito, a tiny daily classic roguelike, with a new level every day. Super simple, but finished! My plan is to keep updating it over time.
