24th anniversary in one of our favorite places (a very old bridge in Tuscany). It was a very sunny day!

cool itchio is back online, so I managed to do the update. Mostly minor fixes/tweaks except the last one that was a bug added in a recent update affecting only Labwa's jealousy scenes #indiedev #gamedev

this morning I wanted to do another update but looks like itchio is under DDOS attack (down) so... I'll have to wait. I hope it gets resolved in a couple of hours since today it's our anniversary so wife and I might go out for a nice lunch 😇

haven't heard back yet from Steam but I think my new game should come out next month. I've basically been forced to put in adult only but if you play it you'll see that it's at best erotic... and there's a lot of gameplay as well, so wishlist it: store.steampowered.com/app/617990/T...

I've noticed recent Steam reviews for VNs (not just mine) complain about long stories or boring dialogues. Is it just me, or are we hooked on quick stuff like YouTube Shorts? Do modern players want faster stories, or am I overthinking this? 🤔 #visualnovel #indiedev #gamedev

It will be some time before I do another RPG (at least 1 year) but I was wondering if you prefer my usual turnbased party RPGs, or if you'd like a single character RPG, but with more detailed stats (think a Dark Souls turn based) ? #indiedev #gamedev
(Doh on Bluesky can't do polls? really?)

today's hike was only 4km but it was a very sunny day and with a unique view (worth 1h of driving!)

I think if this week I get no more serious bug reports, I'll officially release the game on itchio: winter-wolves.itch.io/thieves-of-d...
I don't have yet a reply from Steam but since I marked it adult only (sigh) I should be fine. Probably in Novemeber!

during last week, 40% of my itchio sales for Thieves Of Dingirra were from Germany. People starting to realize that the game won't be available for them on Steam...

yes, probably! haha insane

So I've caved in and marked my upcoming game as "adult only" on Steam. Such definition here would make people here laugh... But I can't fight the system.
A pity since it's going to sell way less. Probably last time I make such kind of a game, not worth the effort ... 😤#indiedev #gamedev

today did an update to nerf Zafira second boss phase, somehow during the various updates she became unbeatable even on Normal difficulty. Now I tested and I can beat her even in Nightmare! #indiedev #gamedev

Meanwhile, I made another small update, nothing major except the first one (lol, why did I use a name with apostrophes? 😅) #indiedev #gamedev

Winterwolves Games @winterwolves.bsky.social · 17d

sadly I think I'll have to put Thieves of Dingirra in adult only category on Steam, despite my attempts to censor it, which means if you're from Germany or other banned countries your only chance is to get it from itchio: winter-wolves.itch.io/thieves-of-d...
Sorry about that, I tried my best...🥲

I already got the chance to do another update fixing various bugs but the most important one is the bribe skill bug: I wasn't correctly removing the character object from the python list 😅I'm surprised it didn't cause issues sooner! #indiedev #gamedev

I am aware in current build there's this funny bug (speech bubbles showing up when you haven't yet found all party members) and I've already fixed it locally, I'm waiting to do an update to see if people find more serious bugs 😇#indiedev #gamedev

Winterwolves Games @winterwolves.bsky.social · 19d

Thanks to everyone supporting me directly; it's decreased a lot in recent times, but it's still there 🥰 By the way, 99% of those sales come from my site via the widget or socials, new indies on Itch.io shouldn't expect similar results (sadly) #indiedev #gamedev

here's the full list of changes, hopefully I didn't break anything lol 😅#indiedev
