Always trying to learn more and be better
Favorite moment of todays event: A person was sitting quietly, very intently playing Watchword for the first time. "Oh no...... I'm gonna have to buy this game" 😂

Loved to see so many people enjoy my little creation ♥️

🥁🥁🥁 Watchword has a release date!

As much as I'd love to delay my game for #silksong like other cool indie games, my irl son is due to be born in a few weeks and I had a goal to release this game before that 😅

Any wishlists & shares are greatly appreciated ❤️

My brain might be too smooth for this feature but you gotta give the people what they want!

Glitch pieces coming soon to a Watchword near you! Use them to create interesting intersections of words, they count as one letter vertically and another horizontally!

📚 Deep synergies & combos
🖼️ Playful hand-drawn 2D art

Here's an example of using a different book "The Good Book" that someone posted in my Discord. They had a bunch of deck fixing done at this point to make this happen

A day late to the party but I've got a Rogue-lite word game with deep synergies, inventing made up words, and satisfying big-number go brrr gameplay. Excited to be apart of my first next fest with my first commercial game!

🎆 Quick little fireworks system that works with the compatibility renderer (no particle trails). I'll probably tweak the colors a bit before they go in game but so far I'm happy with them!

(Sound got kinda messed up in the recording)

There are quite a few word-based roguelites emerging so I'll detail some things that set Watchword apart in a 🧵

Curious to know how other devs handle difficulty curves in their games? It's crunch time so for the moment I hurriedly slapped points on a graph then just trial/error tweaked some curves that felt right.

Very chaotic, I know 😅 I'm sure there's a better way

Thanks for hosting #TurnBasedThursday!

Don't be deceived by our simple style, Watchword is a deeply strategic turn based deck builder about scoring massive combos.

I'm a solo #IndieDev & this will be my first commercial game! Free demo coming soon! 👀

Don't look now but Watchword has a sparkly new trailer on Steam!

Our first closed beta test just finished and it went extremely well.

If you're into the "BIG NUMBER GO BRRRR" genre make sure to wishlist "Watchword" on Steam ⬇️
