Would you do it again? If you had to make a commercial game (but someone paid for the work), would you choose LOVE again? Hard question. I think no. I just spent too much time in front of the PC and instead with my family, that was not okay. I also know now that I (We) can. As a child I always want...

Have you considered making a "historically accurate retro" RPG mode as a DLC? This shouldn't come at too much effort, not in making new assets anyway. I think something like "historically accurate retro" RPG don't exists. Do you mean character creation and XP, levels + attribute points? Personally ...

I heard that reviews to sales ratio is about 1:100, is this true? With the kind of game it is, I can see how it didn't took off big - just because of the genre. Thx! The ratio of Steam reviews (other reviews don't count) vs sold units is somewhere between 40-50 (i know some other indie developers)....

Timetable We started in 2012 and released the game in Dec. 2018. 2 years of preparation (setting/story/layout/engine/tools/aso.) 3 years of production (gamecode, art, music, levels, testing, aso.) 1 year doing a company, tax stuff, website, advertising, release, interviews, trailer, press, bugfixin...

(sorry i‘m on mobile) @ivan Thanks. Of couse a publisher is not needed, but a lot of work pops up during release that you don’t want to deal with. Store taxing, registrations. Press, previews, reviews aso. All this takes time away from your game and you cannot do it better. I can tell you more in a ...

Normally you want to musician to place and test his sounds in the game/engine himself. You may also want that the artist tests ...

In fact, for me now this is generally the best example of a love2d game in terms of aesthetics, art and product integrity. Hey thanks a lot! I would say there are many more löve games that are worth to get this title :). Some time has passed since the release of the game. Can you share some figures...

Thank you very much for the nice compliment!

And I am always happy that the Löve community is so nice! It's always nice to browse the forum for new stuff, even if I don't have so much time because of the family.

We are doing a little sale with 30% off, now 100 days ater release .. WOA time flies.

The cutted indepth interview about AoS is out (only german , but you can turn on translated subtitles): The interview explains why player expectations have to be infiltrated with reverse psychology, how the development of an indie title works across national borders, and what role adventure playbook...
