Indie devs need to keep up with trends to stay ahead of the curve. I'm excited to announce DLSS 5 support for Feed the Scorchpot!

Before all the art assets are finished, I get to subject playtesters to my incredible art skillz!

A great weekend for @scorchpot.bsky.social! Was great to see so many people come to feed the dragon. Thank y’all!

Now onto the Kickstarter 💪

Slow and steady, from 10 → 30 reviews — and all 100% positive! 🙏🙏🙏

Such a pretty board layout (and some crazy numbers). Love seeing play testers push our game to the limit!

So few people actually pet the dragon... no wonder he's so fussy...

The oldest Czech game magazine (published since 1994), just featured us 🥹

Dream come true, been reading this since I was a kid.

Quote of a lifetime: "Damn the developer, this game is an instant addiction, worse than Nutella."

Chief editor is preparing a full preview for the next issue 🙃🙃🙃🙃

Our demo has hit the 10 review mark! Been crossing our fingers to get that positive rating soon.

Great feedback coming through which will shape development a lot. Give the demo and try and send some feedback our way: store.steampowered.com/app/4338170/...

Woohoo, moving up in the world! With the recent Demo release and feature in the Board Game Fest, we've crossed 2000 big ones 🎉

Feed the Scorchpot - New year, new name - Steam News This update took a bit longer than intended, but there was a reason for it (apart from just taking a break over Christmas). Well… Dragon Fodder is no more! dramatic pause Yeah. As it turns out, out of...

As it turns out, out of all the names I could have picked for the game, I went with one that was already taken... store.steampowered.com/news/app/396...

For me the answer was playtesting - just talking to players and being mindful about what they do and don't talk about

Working on my board game inspired roguelite, I’ve noticed how much gamefeel, sound, and subtle animations can change how the same mechanics are perceived. Even something as simple as the dragon commenting on the player’s performance with snarky remarks made a big difference.

Game mechanics vs. atmosphere: which one actually carries a game?
Both matter, obviously. But as a solo dev, I keep circling back to this question. Solid mechanics are what make a game work, while atmosphere is what makes players care.

Getting our hands dirty creating some new art for our upcoming demo trailer. Multiple mouths and eyes to give some animation a go 😅

That's my daughter sitting on my lap with controller so I could take the picture :)

I’ve been adding a lot of QoL features to my game, and I wanted to implement full controller support early so it doesn’t feel like an afterthought. The game is already fully playable on Steam Deck, but I wanted to push it further and make the controls genuinely comfortable. #DragonFodder

Do you like dragons and art timelapses? #DragonFodder

You could call it like that. Base game mechanics were inspired by classic board games and gameplay principles by rogulites like Balatro

Thanks! I had lot of fun with sound design... all dragon sounds are actually just cat trills and purrs, just heavily slowed down and edited :)
GameMaker is worth a try - easy to learn, but still powerful enough for any 2D game idea

I'm using GameMaker and I really like it :)

Dragon Fodder is finally in a state I’m happy with! The core gameplay now feels wonderfully smooth. Over the past month I’ve focused hard on the feel of the game – all the clicks, thunks, subtle shakes, and little nudges – and testers seem to really enjoy it. #screenshotsaturday
