Devlog #146: Shardpunk!

Shardpunk

The war is lost, the Capitol lies in ruins, and you’re on the run! Shardpunk mixes turn-based tactical strategy with RPG, survival, and resource management as you gather your team, scavenge for resources, fight enemy hordes, and seek shelter to live another day.

Hi! First, a heads-up: [b]another game update is coming[/b], and should be available in [b]late November/early December.[/b] The update will focus on two major things: [b]Path waypoints system[/b] Some of the players pointed out correctly that the game does not allow you to move around poison clouds easily. Well, that will be fixed in the upcoming update.

You might have also noticed that I've dropped the "Verminfall" part from the game name. I believe it will make the title easier to memorize and pronounce; heck, I hope that it might even have a positive impact on sales! Also, simplifying the game will make it easier for me to figure out a name for the game's future sequel. Speaking of a sequel: Shardpunk is selling pretty well and I consider it a success - especially as it is the first ever commercial product that I have created. However, the game did not earn enough money for me to immediately start working on another title - so I work at a day job (and a very awesome one!) again that allows me to live on. I still plan on making another game. I just cannot say when this will happen. In the meantime, I will be supporting Shardpunk with at least minor updates and fixes. As I mentioned above, the latest one will be landing in less than a month. Thanks for reading! And if you feel you know someone who would like to play Shardpunk (especially with its new, shorter name ;) ) - do let them know about the game! Take care!
