Dragon Fodder on Steam
Time to feed the dragon! If your island is to survive, you can’t let its protector go hungry. And the hunger grows. Dragon Fodder is a balatroesque roguelite where you build, roll and fix dice, harves...

This is Dragon Fodder. It’s weird, it’s funny, it’s addictive - and yes, it’s a roguelite. Fancy a taste? Wishlist us on Steam to reserve your seat at the table. store.steampowered.com/app/3966510/...
As it turns out, out of all the names I could have picked for the game, I went with one that was already taken... store.steampowered.com/news/app/396...

This update took a bit longer than intended, but there was a reason for it (apart from just taking a break over Christmas). Well… Dragon Fodder is no more! dramatic pause Yeah. As it turns out, out of...

For me the answer was playtesting - just talking to players and being mindful about what they do and don't talk about

Working on my board game inspired roguelite, I’ve noticed how much gamefeel, sound, and subtle animations can change how the same mechanics are perceived. Even something as simple as the dragon commenting on the player’s performance with snarky remarks made a big difference.

Game mechanics vs. atmosphere: which one actually carries a game?
Both matter, obviously. But as a solo dev, I keep circling back to this question. Solid mechanics are what make a game work, while atmosphere is what makes players care.

Getting our hands dirty creating some new art for our upcoming demo trailer. Multiple mouths and eyes to give some animation a go 😅

I’ve been adding a lot of QoL features to my game, and I wanted to implement full controller support early so it doesn’t feel like an afterthought. The game is already fully playable on Steam Deck, but I wanted to push it further and make the controls genuinely comfortable. #DragonFodder

Do you like dragons and art timelapses? #DragonFodder

You could call it like that. Base game mechanics were inspired by classic board games and gameplay principles by rogulites like Balatro

Thanks! I had lot of fun with sound design... all dragon sounds are actually just cat trills and purrs, just heavily slowed down and edited :)
GameMaker is worth a try - easy to learn, but still powerful enough for any 2D game idea

Dragon Fodder is finally in a state I’m happy with! The core gameplay now feels wonderfully smooth. Over the past month I’ve focused hard on the feel of the game – all the clicks, thunks, subtle shakes, and little nudges – and testers seem to really enjoy it. #screenshotsaturday

Pause your scroll. Gather round, it’s time to meet some of our dragons…
They all have a personality. Some hate bland food. Some hate overcooked food. Some just hate you; oh hang on - they all do.

How do you feel about big numbers? In Dragon Fodder, the beast you feed can get very hungry. 70,043,490,000,000 is a big number, would you prefer displaying it as 7e13, 70T, or in its full glory? #ScreenshotSaturday #DragonFodder

Here’s a peek at the current state of Dragon Fodder - my boardbuilder roguelite about feeding a very demanding dragon. The island grows busier each year as you place new farms, harbors, and shrines on the board.
Still tuning balance and upgrading visuals!
