Fabian @sfabienne.bsky.social · 06/10/2026As an indie dev and JRPG fan, I've been wondering for a while what indie games other JRPG fans like to play.

Fabian @sfabienne.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Going for Japanese translation to start with, if I do any other languages then that will be based on number of wishlists. 100
Fabian @sfabienne.bsky.social · 21/07/2026But honestly, A/B testing capsule art would probably be great, but as long as it's not a tool in Steamworks then I wouldn't bother... 010
Fabian @sfabienne.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Lately: getting the Steam page ready. Polishing up the game, fixing professional localization of page and in-game content, editing gifs and trailers, etc. All a lot of work! Next I will going into a phase more focused on level design, balancing and testing. 110
Fabian @sfabienne.bsky.social · 21/07/2026If anything, the scope has increased. 😅 But not that much. I definitely underestimated the scope when I started the game (as every game dev does...). And there is quite a bit left to do, I'm estimating another year of dev time. But development certainly goes in waves. 100

Fabian @sfabienne.bsky.social · 21/07/2026I just published the Steam page for my upcoming DRPG: Häxeri! The game is inspired by Etrian Odyssey, Shin Megami Tensei and Wizardry. I've been working on this for nearly two years (being a parent of two is rough...), so I'm really happy to finally reach this point. #gamedev #indiedev #drpg 33812
