I create games. I don't really use this platform much. Find me on Bluesky, same name.

Been working on a new incremental experience all about mining. A good friend of mine just finished up the trailer:

You can wishlist it here. I plan to have a demo sometime this month! store.steampowered.com/app/3…

Kin and Quarry by @TheFoxKnocks, an incremental mining game, is out now! [PC]
The magical essence of your sacred Evertree has been stolen and buried deep underground. As the land's steward, guide your people to dig deep to save it.

ALT Foxes and other critters guide the drill through layer 1 (209 blocks remaining, dpeth 25.93. Record: 27.93) Time remaining: 50.8
ALT Uncovering goods at the surface under the drill launching platform. New common Artifact! Cassiterite. It has been donated to the Museum automatically, granting you 1 Permits(s) for use in the Shop!
The demo for Kin and Quarry is up. If you like incremental games, you should try it.

I admit, it does get a little tiresome getting stuff like this when I release finished games and move onto new projects. The entitlement is exhausting.
I don't mean to be elitist, but devs, genuinely, a game shadowdropping and taking up 0.1% of Steam's playerbase is not why your game did worse than you expected. I'm sorry.
I'm seeing some publishers that really need to figure this out, as well.
PSA: Nomad Idle will never be available on mobile (Android/iOS). Some bad actors have stolen the game and uploaded. If you bought the game on mobile, leave a review saying it's a scam and reach out to Apple/Google for refund.
@Apple is pretty much refusing to take them down. Terrible company.
Nomad Idle is now released! Check it out!

I give Steam a lot of credit, but the way they keep ignoring obvious botting is a bit of a black mark, in my opinion. This has been going on by the same devs for over a year now. It's not even subtle, but nothing is ever done. It's wacky.
I'm starting to notice a trend of incremental games and lo-fi music. Anyone that play idle games have an opinion on this? I'm thinking it's because idle games are typically a pretty chill experience, and by nature of it being idle, you want something that's more background-sounding?
Thoughts?
I'm begging @YouTube to let me update my game's capsule art. I sent the e-mail to where this is requested twice, I get an automated response saying I'll get a reply in 2-3 business days, then nothing happens for going on 2 weeks now.
I don't mean to brag, but I'm genuinely stoked. Back on Trending Free on Steam and now the Demo is reaching heights I never thought I'd ever see.
Been a while since I've smiled quite like this.
Just released my demo onto Steam. If you like idle games, you should check it out.

I don't interact here often, but sometimes I get a notification and I check it. These days, very good odds it's some porn bot liking an old post I made.
Very satisfied with Bluesky in comparison.

Today, Nomad Idle crosses over into 14,000 wishlists, which is twice my original goal for launching the game. I haven't even put a demo out yet. Incredible.
