We managed to sneak in 30 minutes of @smeljey.bsky.social Into The Depths in today's stream.

Very interesting concept there. There's a playtest currently running, go check it and help shape it!

Steam Next Fest is over, and I want to say thanks to everyone who played the demo! I was really happy (and a bit embarrassed) to see people trying out my game!

Thanks to your feedback, I got some ideas on how I can make the game more enjoyable!

My game just hit 1000 wishlists - three times more than it had before #SteamNextFest. It's not a huge number for a commercial title, but it means a lot to me! It's very motivating to see people playing my game!

Thank you everyone for your support! 💙

I'm a bit inexperienced with trailers, so that's what I've come up with. Any thoughts?

Woke up and saw that my game reached 500 wishlists on Steam. What a morning!

(please try it, it's out there in #SteamNextFest and has a demo)

Tweaking post processing yet again. Made it darker (since it's underground) and tweaked fog to be less annoying (also switched from built-in URP fog to volumetric). Here is the vid: before vs now

Any thoughts? Does it gives the "overgrown cave" vibe?

With #SteamNextFest right around the corner, here's a friendly reminder that you can dive Into the Depths today!

You should try it if you
• can't stop stacking districts together in Civ 6
• love card games
• miss exploring caves in Minecraft

Here is how the UI evolved since the jam version:
How it started -> How it's going

What would you change? Let me know what you think!

Just uploaded the new build to the itch page!
Updated visuals, new building mechanic and bunch of new tiles.
Btw, I need feedback to make the game better! Please, try the new version and share your opinion!

Just a small gif I made for a Steam page to showcase the building process in Into the Depths

Was adding some small details to liven up all the different environments in the game. Now, when I look on it, it doesn't feel all that different T_T

So, I've decided to keep working on my game from the jam.

Into The Depths is a roguelike city builder where you build an outpost from random tiles and mine resources.
Here is a #Steam page - wishlists are much appreciated

Finally made a main menu background for the game I've made during #LudumDare57
Far from perfect, but this is the kind of thing you do when you have no artist in the team :/
I've released an update btw. Try my game here: smeljey.itch.io/into-the-dep...

My #LD57 entry: Into the Depths!
This time I went solo and made an Islanders-like city builder set in the caves underground.
