Announcing the Profit Bundle! 🛒Discounty and Final Profit are teaming up on Steam. Explore the depths of capitalism in this pair of cozy simulator indie gems! Available right now! 🎮 store.steampowered.com/bundle/78602...
This was done entirely with eventing. I've been wanting to do some more video tutorials for a while, it may be the time to dive into that now with the forums disappearing. Keep this knowledge alive somewhere.
In less depressing news, today I jazzified the UI when pulling loot from rabbit holes.
sometimes you just have to make snake in rpg maker
there's a couple of days left to catch the... ✨ Storyteller's Festival! ✨ looking for a mix of branching narrative and number-go-up? Final Profit may be for you. store.steampowered.com/app/1705140/...
One of the new things I've been working on are these area label graphics when you transition between major zones.
brb gonna build a house out of explosion-proof mirrors
Felt like highlighting a sneaky detail that most miss. When you first arrive in the final area of the game, the street lights are weak and flicker due to the energy crisis. But later once you've solved the crisis they grow bright and stable.
Bald queer femme Fae Queen tries to destroy capitalism by becoming a capitalist? It's more likely than you think. The Steam Spring Sale is on, get Final Profit at half price! 🔮 🎮 store.steampowered.com/app/1705140/...
Lately I've been working on new Just Shop Mode content, that involves building a cross-save talent tree to bring a meta progression element into the roguelike mode. I've been trying a rougher documentation style as I go, a bit like a mind map. It's quick and gives a broad view, I like it.
RPG Maker Fest 26 has begun! 🏰🎮 Final Profit is participating and is on sale for the event. Fest page: store.steampowered.com/sale/rpgmake... Final Profit: store.steampowered.com/app/1705140/...
I flipped the presentation on the Steam page recently, putting the story section at the top instead of the gameplay features. Seems to have driven a boost in sales. This goes against common advice I've seen, thought it was an interesting result.
oh wow, yeah look at their crazy price history. no idea what's up there. there is a 30 day cooldown period after sales (excluding the winter, summer, fall, and spring sales). certain games certainly seem to be able to get around it though (rdr2 is another). suss and unfair.
The Fun, The Dark, and The Cozy is a Steam fest that begins today! 🎮☕🔥 Final Profit is taking part and is on sale for the duration.
got a new origami book, look at this little guy
It's that special time of year again where it's way too hot in Australia to be putting up with Winter bulls***. Oh, and Final Profit is 50% off for the Steam Winter Sale ❄️ 🛒 store.steampowered.com/app/1705140/...
is this why we make games? lol a review from 2023 with a bunch of upvotes got edited this month, which pushed it back into algorithmic relevance and sadly coincided with a drop in sales. it's mostly anti-woke ideology unrelated to the game, but when I flagged it as such Steam did not remove it.
Biz is feelin' it today. But you can cheer her up! By playing Final Profit! On sale now! store.steampowered.com/app/1705140/...
Been deep in the UI mines upgrading the Witch Words interface. 💬 I realised that a long list was going to be too clunky for constructing Phrases. So now we have this radial business, any Word is always 1 to 3 clicks away. Much snappier, for the working Witch. 🧹 #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev
Finally got around to migrating all the DevBlogs from cohost (rip). Added a new section dedicated to them on the Final Profit website. Lots of juicy insights to digest, such as Mrs. Five's origins as a Nintendo Mii. www.finalprofit.com.au/devblogs/the...
hmm, there is a bit of a dropoff just after one megalitre, but apart from that the math checks out.
