Feed the Scorchpot

I have no idea where all the time went. It feels like only yesterday I came up with the idea of making a game about feeding a dragon, and now it's suddenly almost ready. There are only a few last tweaks and fixes left on my to-do list.I've been busy polishing everything into something I can truly be proud of.I've also built on the previous big addition - the Codex - and added Statistics and Trophies. You'll now be able to track your high scores, your progress, and all the absurd numbers you've thrown into the Scorchpot. The in-game trophies are linked to Steam Achievements, and there are 40 of them!I have to admit something: I don't really like easy achievements. Unlocking one should feel like an actual achievement. Because of that, quite a few of the trophies are challenging... and some are very challenging. Hopefully that will make the completionists among you happy!Another huge milestone has been localization. Thanks to several wonderful supporters and our Asian co-publisher, the game is now fully translated into German, French, Spanish, Czech, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.I've been getting this surreal feeling

Alright, Steam Next Fest is over, and I'm quite happy with how we did. Our game attracted quite a few new players, and the reception was great! Seeing how much new players enjoyed the demo, I can't wait to show you the whole thing... which brings me to the release date!Feed the Scorchpot will officially launch on Steam on August 20th. Less than two months away!That's both scary and exciting. The game is pretty much done now. I've just finished the last big feature I wanted to add: an in-game codex where you can inspect all recipes, buildings, dice, and more. Now I can focus on making sure the game is bug-free and as polished as possible.The game will cost $15 USD, and we're considering a large launch discount of 35%, which would bring the price down to $9.75.Time to get back to work and make sure everything is ready. Cheers, everyone!

Wow, it’s been a month since the last update. Time for another one.We’ve been busy, to say the least. A lot of planned features have now made their way into the game. I’m especially happy with the new rare dice, they change the gameplay quite a bit. Chiseling their faces to make them more consistent and reliable has turned out to be a really fun mechanic.The biggest feature I’m currently working on is the deckbuilding system. Players will be able to customize the starting conditions and special rulesets for their runs. This opens the door both for more relaxed gameplay and for some brutal challenges. It also creates opportunities for achievements tied to specific decks...I also want to once again thank our beta testers, who continue pushing the game to its limits. I’ve received a lot of great suggestions for improvements and tweaks, and they’ve made the game much nicer to play.We also wanted to give some love to the demo. I just pushed a new update to Steam with fixes, additional QoL features, and visual improvements. There’s also a new easter egg that, once again, got a bit out of hand...No new seeds this time. A lot of people are still pouring dozens of hours into the demo alread

This update took a while, but it was worth it. There’s a lot of new stuff: new visuals, new sounds, quality-of-life improvements, balance changes, bug fixes, new dice, and more.Also good news for those who sank dozens of hours into the old demo: there are now three new seeds to play. The changes made the old seeds less fun than I would have liked, so I replaced them with new ones. Don’t worry, all achievements are still very achievable. Maybe more people will now dare to put pineapple on pizza...One thing that’s not included in this update is a new tutorial. That’s my main focus right now. We’ve received a lot of great feedback and have seen how players learn the game. The UI can be a bit overwhelming at first, so I want to make the tutorial as accessible as possible. I didn’t want to delay the entire update, so the tutorial will be improved as soon as I’m happy with it.That’s all for now, but a lot of big things will start happening next week as we launch the Kickstarter campaign.Cheers everyone, and keep the dragon fed!
