Game dev is not always fun, but still the best kind of development (at least in my view)
I have been in the software development industry for almost 15 years now and I can safely say that, at least for me, game development has been the most fun and stimulating kind of work. It constant…

Watching this game come to life has been incredible.
From a stickman on a grayscale screen to a world full of color and #pixelart we’ve poured our hearts into.
We're not done yet — but every step forward reminds us why we love games.
Thanks for following along ♥️

Why Lanes Matter: The Role of Lane Buffs in Gotogra’s Combat Design
When I decided to make Gotogra a lane-based game, I knew the lanes had to matter. I didn’t want the three-lane setup to just be cosmetic or spatial flavor — I wanted each lane to carry meaning and …

Hey #screenshotsaturday
What do you think of the in-game sprite of the merchant in @gotogra.bsky.social ?
Still a work in progress, but I'm happy with the direction so far!

The Scourge Attack is a core ability that you can trigger every turn, upgrading it over time as you ascend the cursed castle.
What do you think this was inspired by?

Really happy with how the dialogue portraits turned out for @gotogra.bsky.social main character and vendor NPC!
Took some time, but they finally feel alive. 🖼️

Testing a moderatly challenging room in Gotogra and asking myself: am I even good at my own game? 😅
Polishing has begun—goal is a solid demo by end of May.
If you're curious to try it out, let's talk! ^^

To prevent stalling in Gotogra, we added a DOOM TIMER: when it hits 0, all lanes go deadly. Like Balatro is about beating the score—except the score is enemy HP.
StS solves this with monster scaling. We has movement, which can tempt players into stalling puzzles.

In Gotogra, cards aren’t just spells or attacks—they’re tactical tools. Every card is designed around three pillars: positioning, cost, and synergy.

In Gotogra, your hero power evolves based on the path you take through the castle— and it’s fully customizable to fit your deck’s synergies.
Think Hearthstone hero power-but deformed.
And angry.
