@RJCW thank you very much! I hope you'll enjoy Episode 2. No ETA yet, I'm working on a different game currently before I'll shift my focus back to finish the trilogy. ❤️
I was a Switch newby back then, and wasn't aware how important they were. Didn't have one, didn't test it. But it was easy to patch. But yes, I agree, it's unusual that it doesn't work out of the box. 😊
@FishyS thank you! Dreadrock is on the list as it seems (maybe Gavin added it after your comment?). Anyway please note that there will be a sequel next year https://youtu.be/KlytebvYBIE?si=1Rna1rsGry-asZDr
@FeiFongWong26 i only made the game, not the comparison (so don't blame me) - but the review compares the art style of both games, not the game mechancis.
@PlasmaStar i understand the frustration, sorry. i wasn't aware that this is so relevant resp. simply a standard. i hoped to be able to patch it pre launch but all that ugly PR work took so much time...
@SwitchVogel
here's my view (and my recent learnings) as a dev:
on mobile NO ONE will pay up front for an unknown indie game. and hardly anyone one will pay 5$ (that's the price of an apple arcade flatrate).
so i published on mobile first and cheap to build an audience and get some coverage in the first place. then i published on steam for 3$ but what do i get? mostly wishlists because no one is willing to pay "the full price" for anything it seems, no matter what it's worth. for switch i learned: set the price higher and as I said it is already set up to have a 50% discount at launch.
my focus is not the money, I want people to play the game. but obviously people prefer to buy stuff that has a non-minimal regular price tag and is discounted. so i'll give them that.
i hope you can understand my struggles to get visible. thanks for the review, it surely helps.
ps: there are a lot of (even game breaking) fixes on switch that are not on mobile. the touch controls are the main criticism on mobile and it's so much better on switch. streaming from phone to TV is imho a terrible experience in general (but maybe that's just my hardware setup).

Re: Opinion: Nintendo Needs To Let Us Block The Crap On Switch 2's eShop
I agree, it was what set the platform apart from uncurated platforms like the playstore.

"...setting up some interesting potential plot threads for the third game, should it get made."...should it get made? Of course I'll make it!

@JohnnyMind It's a good idea to replay Episode 1 so you will be able to fully appreciate how they intertwine.

Re: Dungeons Of Dreadrock Brings '80s Zelda-Like Dungeon Crawling To Switch This May
@Mynameishello @ChessboardMan @sleepinglion I am 100% with you, there are just too many games that look good but play boring.
