Because of this, it continued to grow and maintain a strong presence on the AppStore, bringing more and more players to the battlefields of TTT. I find myself very grateful and humbled by the shear amount of support the player base has giving the game since released.

The launch of TTT was a very unexpected one as I had no following, nor much content at all out on the internet to promote it. One simple Facebook post to my friends and family promoting my game must have been just enough of a spike on the AppStore to catch Apple's attention and feature the game.

I am very fortunate to have found @emedg.bsky.social over 4 years ago which kickstarted the process. His style of Pixel Art is truly astonishing, and he really brought the beauty to the otherwise grim period of World War One.

When I got my first PC in the early 2000s, I remember loving Flash games. They were very simple, and sometimes you could find ones that had more depth to them. This is what I based my approach with To The Trenches on; simple but can be as complex as you make it.

100

What started as a fun little passion project has become something I would have never imagined. To The Trenches took about 4 years to complete due to me working a full-time corporate job and becoming a father of two beautiful children.

As we step into 2025, remember: even the smallest dreams can grow into something extraordinary with passion, effort, and a community that believes in you. Much love, - Dad Made #IndieDev #ToTheTrenches #GameDev #Recap2024 #IndieGame

Each team member has brought unique ideas and passion to the table, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their hard work. As I look toward the future, I’m thrilled about what 2025 holds. I have exciting plans for To The Trenches, with new content that will take the game to the next level.

I also want to shine a spotlight on the incredible Dad Made Staff, whose talent and dedication have been the backbone of everything we’ve achieved this year. Over the past 8 months, the team has grown in size and skill, and their contributions have been extraordinary.

100

Seeing how you’ve come together to share your experiences, discuss strategies, and connect with one another has been one of the most fulfilling parts of this journey. It motivates me to keep pushing boundaries and creating even better experiences for you.

100

The journey has pushed me to grow creatively and professionally, and I’m proud of how To The Trenches has become a game that so many of you love. The support and positivity from this community have been nothing short of inspiring.

100

It’s a powerful reminder of how much a supportive and engaged community can impact a project. This year has been a transformative one for me as a developer. I’ve learned so much about game design, strategy, and what it takes to create something that resonates with players.

100

What started as a simple concept has evolved into a dynamic, immersive experience, and your feedback has been a huge part of that transformation. The ideas, suggestions, and enthusiasm you’ve shared have shaped the game into something far greater than I ever expected.

100

What began as a small passion project has grown into something truly life-changing, and I owe it all to you—the players, supporters, and friends. Looking back, it’s astonishing to see how far To The Trenches has come.
