Thank you for this, I actually hadn't dug deep enough to find this despite looking a bit. Definitely helpful!

I'm very curious how many steam refunds other #indiedevs get (i.e. as a ratio to sales or something, idk), and why they happen.

Is it a marketing issue? Do people not quite know what they're buying when they decide to buy an indie game? Without direct feedback it's hard to know why it happens...

"This sort of game is exactly what was hoping to find when googled 'Games like Might and Magic 7'" is one of the best things I've seen in a Monsters of Mican review, since that's what I was going for!

(And also my favorite #MightAndMagic game!)

Monsters of Mican is a turn-based first person RPG inspired so much by the classic Might and Magic series that one review says "This sort of game is exactly what I was hoping to find when I googled 'Games like Might and Magic 7'"

The choice has been made, I'm going with foil pan pie.

Now to transport it to the farmers market somehow...

Cutting straight lattice strips without a ruler was way harder than I was expecting

Thank you for your input!

Pie decision time. I wish bluesky had polls, I need to know which pie to present!

Apple pie contest pies are out! One is for the family, one is for the contest, but I'm not sure which one looks better to present... Any thoughts?

Decided to enter my first ever baking competition tomorrow, making an apple pie. Pie dough is chilling nicely now!

Makes me want to make a baking RPG 😲

Well, I received feedback, addressed it, and lo and behold, Monsters of Mican is now Steam Deck Verified!

The system works!

Did you know Monsters of Mican has a free #Demo version with a save file that transfers over to the full version? In the demo you can explore the town, Arena, Glade and first three main dungeon levels, upwards of 5-10 hours of content!

I've issued an update to Monsters of Mican to (hopefully) bring it closer to Steam Deck Verified than just Steam Deck Playable like it is now.

The game should now boot in the proper resolution with the gamepad controls enabled, when launching on Steam Deck!
