Taking the wizard for a walk

Just updated his walk animation to be more dramatic and highlight his bad knee :) He’s a passive character, so waiting for him is part of the pacing.

Zoomies are real!

Testing out how well the butterflies read. They are 4x4 pixels but I think I've managed to squeeze in a lot of personality.

Steam page visitor numbers going crazy after I added a dot com. Help!

I bought a dot com a while back in hopes that I'd make a dedicated page for my indie game, but I didn't not prioritize building that page yet.

I decided that in the meantime, I might as well forward all traffic directly to the Steam page as telling people a simple dot com is sometimes easier than telling them to open Steam and search for my game.

In the last month my traffic has been going crazy. It seems like an army of bots have descended on my Steam page. For reference I've marked two viral posts on Reddit and X. The amount of traffic is insane and Steam doesn't categorize it as 'Bot Traffic'.

I'm assuming it's bots because the conversion is extremely low.

  • Does anyone think that this will hurt me with Steam?
  • Could there be this many bots crawling the web and randomly ending up on my dot com?
  • Has anyone launched an actual page with a link to Steam and gotten similar behaviour? Are you also getting ridiculous bot traffic?
  • What are the bots doing?

Any thoughts or experiences are appreciated!

Improving Atmosphere with Wind using Shaders

I needed subtle motion to make the level feel more alive. I ended up using shaders to distort each tree. I highly recommend this approach!
