It started from that old defrag utility nostalgia, but the current version is built much more around actual decisions and progression: each disk is a different job, you choose the right algorithm, balance payout against heat and wear, and turn successful runs into upgrades and longer-term progression.

A recent Reddit post about it brought in around 330 wishlists, which was a really encouraging sign that the new direction is connecting better than the old one.

The trailer here is from the current version, and the Steam page is already up. If it looks like your kind of thing, I’d really appreciate a wishlist.

Retro-styled incremental about taking risky disk cleanup jobs for money, choosing the right algorithm, and growing stronger over time.

Is called Defrag Incremental. It keeps the same retro disk-defrag fantasy, but now it’s much more focused on:

• choosing between different disks/jobs with different value, fragility and risk
• picking the right algorithm for each job
• balancing payout against heat, wear and disk health
• buying upgrades with DP to improve rewards, speed and efficiency
• building toward permanent BIOS progression over time

I’m aiming to have a demo ready in about 3 weeks, and it’ll be priced lower than my previous defrag game. It’s already on Steam if anyone wants to look it up, but mainly I just wanted to show the new direction here.
