ArchiusDev - Wishlist Mancalero! @archiusdev.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Sorry the demo did launch! 100 was just a bit after the launch if I recall- it was a slow drip but I saw some boosts from playtests and private demo plays! 100

ArchiusDev - Wishlist Mancalero! @archiusdev.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Also, we officially reached over 130 wishlists for Mancalero! 🥳 Thankful to get my first 100 over time before my demo launch and entrance into the personal calendar- but this is unreal considering the early days of barely getting to 25! #gamedev #indiedev #wishlist 2147
ArchiusDev - Wishlist Mancalero! @archiusdev.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Here’s the detailed breakdown of the 8.67/10 scoring: * Opening hook: 8 * Game/genre clarity: 9 * Core selling point: 9 * Footage/visuals: 9 * Structure/pacing: 9 * Music/sound: 8 * Text/messaging: 8 * Ending CTA: 9 * Overall effectiveness: 9 000
ArchiusDev - Wishlist Mancalero! @archiusdev.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It’s #trailertuesday! Really encouraged as I share this trailer for Mancalero (improvements upon my old one) which recently was professional reviewed and rated as a 8.67/10! #gamedev #indiedev #Nextfest bsky.app/profile/arch... 1122
ArchiusDev - Wishlist Mancalero! @archiusdev.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Haha thank you! 8-9 months ago I was playing Mancala so much and thought of the idea and realized there weren't any that I knew of! Now there's at least two others, Oh!Ware and Mission Mancala 000
ArchiusDev - Wishlist Mancalero! @archiusdev.bsky.social · 26/09/2026They progressively get more intense as the player has more opportunities to build and synergize. New players might have trouble learning mancala and roguelike mechanics, but experienced players will use that time to prepare for the end game! 100

ArchiusDev - Wishlist Mancalero! @archiusdev.bsky.social · 25/09/2026It would have to match my desired art direction for the game, but messy hand drawn! You get better as you continue (which may lead to recreating old assets) but its kind funny to look at and is quite satisfying!

ArchiusDev - Wishlist Mancalero! @archiusdev.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Thanks for hosting #TurnBasedThursday! There's another Mancala game (Oh!Ware) that deserves a ton of attention today, but I'm still happy to share Mancalero- my mancala-inspired roguelike marblebuilder! bsky.app/profile/arch... 051

ArchiusDev - Wishlist Mancalero! @archiusdev.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Exactly that- before it was all about doing everything to hit 7K wishlists before launch and probably created an unhealthy reliance of wishlists. It seems much more freeing now to just work on a title and with wisdom, release it! 021
ArchiusDev - Wishlist Mancalero! @archiusdev.bsky.social · 22/09/2026It looks like Steam continues to improve visibility for #indiedevs and #gamedevs continually- whether with public announcements or shadow updates.

ArchiusDev - Wishlist Mancalero! @archiusdev.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The demo is still being updated with changes/fixes to localization (especially for the tutorial and how to play section), as well as consistency with the store page. Sorry about that, but thanks for the feedback! 000
ArchiusDev - Wishlist Mancalero! @archiusdev.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I purposely don't go into too much detail as I want the players to figure it out- but all the components are present! The score bar and mancala storehouse counter are present 100

ArchiusDev - Wishlist Mancalero! @archiusdev.bsky.social · 17/09/2026All of the original scoring rules serve as the foundation, alongside a layer of my own scoring mechanics that work on a separate system. Players can win the original way, or the new scoring way, and if you do both there is an even greater reward! 100

ArchiusDev - Wishlist Mancalero! @archiusdev.bsky.social · 09/09/2026The biggest drivers so far were 1) Game Trailer 2) Localizing the Steam Page 3) Marketing on Social Media 4) Public Playtest in August 5) Awesome community of players, game devs, artists All of which point to my Demo launch on Sept 15th before October's NextFest and my Game Launch on Nov 4th! 000
ArchiusDev - Wishlist Mancalero! @archiusdev.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Early post for #WishlistWednesday but also an important milestone for Mancalero- thank you all for 100 Wishlists!! Just a month ago I was sitting at 50, and prior to that it was hard to pass 20... #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #mancala #steam Steam page: store.steampowered.com/app/4811700/... 281
ArchiusDev - Wishlist Mancalero! @archiusdev.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I’ve also added glare, rarity juice and removed some text from shop cards- full descriptions can be read by clicking on the marbles and icons themselves! Adding a layer of consistency and (hopefully) drawing player intrigue! Everything here is CSS, JSX and assets! #pixelart #trailertuesday 031
ArchiusDev - Wishlist Mancalero! @archiusdev.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Applying some more changes to Mancalero bit by bit * altered and consistent scoring bar * curved pits for sleek look and to better resemble Mancala * flavour text of enemy removed for space (click on the enemy to read instead) Fixed a few glitches on this gif too. #gamedev #indiedev #game #demo 1130
ArchiusDev - Wishlist Mancalero! @archiusdev.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Definitely it’ll be these little things that make it complete- ensuring the player has less things to complain about in their first 30 minutes! Simply getting more is less of a loop and more of a chain within Mancalero- it opens up possibilities but isn’t necessary to win! 100
ArchiusDev - Wishlist Mancalero! @archiusdev.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Happy #ScreenshotSaturday!

ArchiusDev - Wishlist Mancalero! @archiusdev.bsky.social · 22/08/2026It is so nice being on vacation but I miss working on games quite a bit- sometimes it can be consuming like a black hole. Do devs relate? Is that a good or bad sign? 🤣 #gamedev #indiedev 0152
ArchiusDev - Wishlist Mancalero! @archiusdev.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Low end range, I want the player to feel powerful by the end of the demo knowing that there’s more to follow- although there is an inherent risk there too. I’m excited to see how they make the best of it considering my average playtest playtime as about an hour and a half! 100
