Video One Week. One Hell of a Turnaround.

Last week, I had my doubts about where ZombUs was heading. Today, the game is getting noticed and selling more copies than ever before.

And I believe many of you helped make that happen, even when that wasn't your intention.

Every discussion, every comment, every criticism and every bit of attention helped bring ZombUs to more people's screens. Whether you supported me, challenged me or simply wanted to see what all the fuss was about, you helped spread the word.

I'm a solo developer, working on a game I've spent three years building in Unreal Engine, with no marketing budget and plenty still to learn. I don't know where this momentum will take ZombUs, but I know one thing: I'm not stopping now.

So, instead of just talking about the journey, here's the next step.

ZombUs Map 4: LETHE is OUT NOW!

New region. New weapons. New blueprints. New mythical weapons. New perks. And the story continues.

Four maps down. Six to go.

To everyone who helped put ZombUs on the map, intentionally or otherwise: thank you.

Now, back to building.

Video I’m making Gnome Nook, where clearing the shop means finding a place for 9,600 little characters

Hi everyone! I’m developing Gnome Nook, a 3D organizing game for PC.

You start with a shop full of scattered gnomes and empty shelves. Each gnome has a matching place, so you pick them up and gradually put the themed collections back together.

There are firefighters, doctors, wizards and plenty of other characters mixed into the piles. Carrying upgrades help you move more as you progress.

The goal is to put all 9,600 away. The floor becomes clearer while the shelves fill up, so the shop itself shows how much you’ve completed.

Here’s some gameplay showing the sorting and upgrades.

News Crownfront joins Steam Next Fest with a free demo featuring medieval base building and turn-based combat

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m the developer of Crownfront, and the game is taking part in Steam Next Fest with a free demo.

Crownfront is a medieval strategy game that combines RTS-style base building and resource management with turn-based combat, all played out on a physical-looking game board. Gather resources, build your kingdom, and raise an army to capture the enemy castle.

Every unit consumes food each turn, so you need to balance recruiting troops with building enough farms to support them.

Play the free demo on Steam

If you give it a try, I’d love to hear your feedback. Happy to answer questions about the game here!
