thanks @sacboi it would be virtually impossible to make enough sales with this game to pay for the time i spent making it, but it was my "learn how to code" game so I rebuilt it a lot more times than necessary just for the sake of learning. I should have just published it a year ago rather than running a free demo for so…
"I could write a detailed post mortem about what I learned but I think most people wouldn't like it, because the biggest thing that I have learned is that nearly all best practices need to be binned for the solo developer. If you try to explain things like that with any nuance people just fight you so it isn't super…
"I had set this on the backburner for a long time because I went almost a year over schedule on it. But it is finally released. " Belated Congrat's : ) Your Post Mortem, now that's a term I've not encountered in recent years well since late 90s early naughties, when avidly reading them in gaming mags like Hyper or Game…

The release version is an old build, but I hope enough sales can buy me a month that I need to get the latest updates finalized. This is a game for a pretty specific niche however if you enjoy a…
Some more environment work. I got to admit, I could just sit here and make forest forever without even making a game. I really enjoy it. I want to take a little hike into the Blue Ridge mountains nearby to find some more inspiration. I like mountains and valleys and big sites like that, but something about the woods has…
Doing some playtesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5X7ikvWmBsY There's plenty more I'd like to do regarding graphics and the world but too many other things take precedence for the moment. Once I basically finish the game and get mostly focused on marketing, then I'll start adding in more variety to the vegetation and…
@sacboi The alpha version out right now has got a bug that causes a crash pretty regularly. It's fixed but we are working for 3-4 more weeks before putting out the next update. Of course you welcome to try whenever you like but just to let you know, right now you got to save the game manually like every 10 minutes which…
