The most popular comment on my semi-viral self-roast of Bramble on /r/indiegaming: people REALLY don't like 'Royale' in the title. It occured to me that SOME people may confuse the name w/ a battle royale game, but I underestimated the strength of that correlation. www.reddit.com/r/IndieGamin...

I spent 4 years and $60k developing a game. It bombed on Steam

One week out from the launch of Bramble Royale and the result has been - not great! Sales were FAR below expectations, with less than 650 copies sold & about $7500 in gross revenue. I did a full retro here about my reflection on the launch: slothwerks.substack.com/p/bramble-ro...

Not perfect (you can see the cut-off UI) but here's a screenshot of Bramble Royale running on Android! Was surprisingly easy to get it running & it's mostly playable out of the box. Current focus is to get the Steam build out and we'll follow up a couple months later w/ mobile.
