Go give otterhands a follow. I loved Refarm and I am excited to see the next project!
Just published my developer page on steam! 🦦

News about my next game drop very soon 👀

Idle Fields has recently seen a massive spike in players, breaking its highest player record from 66 last year to 74. This all happened because of the spring sale and a youtuber who uploaded a video at the same time. That video now sits at 100k views 🤯

Hey! I hope you all are doing well. I just wanted to mention that my indie game is 50% off for the winter sales 😅 If you haven't checked it out, now would be the best time to do so

I never did an introduction so here it is!
Hello, my name is Ben. I work as a programmer in AAA and I do a lot of indie work in my spare time. I am excited to share my indie journey with you all here. I have 1 released title so far and I am planning what's next

I have been prototyping a lot recently. Deciding on what to make my next project is the hardest part

When I released Idle Fields it was marked as partially playable on controllers. I let someone's negative review get to me and decided to add full support. Now I'm almost done with it but I still don't think the game is fit for controllers at all 🙃

Yesterday I got scroll rects working flawlessly on controllers in Unity. I wish things like this were supported by default but oh well, I'm just happy to see it in the game!

Goals for the end of 2024
- Release 1 or 2 Idle Fields updates (my indie game)
- Prototype the next game
- Start learning how to drive
- Start back up my YouTube channel

What has everyone else got in mind?
