Rogue Merchant now has a working leaderboard! The demo is pending approval by Steam at the moment. Pumped to have leaderboards in my games going forward. I feel like it brings a whole new purpose to the games, lol. Check it out on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/4549240/... #pixelart #gamedev

Does anyone remember the old flash game "Winter Bells"? I made my own, Gnomish version of it for nostalgia's sake, lol. I might add a leaderboard to it and throw it up on Steam just for fun. #pixelart #steam #gamedev #indiedev

A bit more of my Merchant game! Cycle through levels, Haggle prices with customers, trade, equip items, battle each other, gauge whether or not the reward is worth the damage taken, etc. I'll make more levels and playable characters soon. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Working on a prototype for a Merchant game in a fantasy world. You play as the merchant, selling things to adventurers, but sometimes things get a bit rough and you battle/steal from each other! Does this seem compelling? #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Short post-mortem post. My game has been out for 1 week, here's what the numbers look like. About 12-13 months of actual development time, and a few months of marketing. Not too shabby! Marketing is definitely still the hardest part by far, lol. Hopefully future discounts will bring in more sales!

Dwelling somewhere in the swamps, there lies a wondrously magical tower that belongs to a profoundly wizened toad. Wizended beyond words, some might say. Perhaps a mythical croak is all it takes for his incantations. I love creating these goofy shenanigans, lol. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #goblins

Was drawing a dialogue portrait for my new ogre friends and realized if I recolor them a certain way, they more or less look like Majin Buu, lol. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

A picture of a green grumpy ogre with large teeth protruding from his underbite, and beside him, the same ogre, except recolored with a pink base instead of green. It looks strikingly similar to the Dragonball Z character known as "Majin Buu".
