Don't forget to change your display name to "Darenn Keller - Dawnfolk out now!" 😉

Congrats on the release!

I made the whole game on my own at this desk for the past two years. I don’t even want to imagine the total hours I’ve spent here. And YES, I’m using only one screen. 👀 #indiedev

I completed 1,678 different tasks while making this game. But don’t take that number too seriously; One of those tasks was literally “Add 99 achievements.” Quite the task. 😂 #gamedev

This is the LAST thing I added to the game, five hours before release: the control scheme in the options. This task had been sitting there for about a year, but I just kept pushing it back. #indiegame

Here’s the most up-to-date wishlist graph before release. More than 35k wishlists! I'm so grateful to all those player believing in my game and waiting to get their hands on it. #gamedev

The first version of the game was made during LowRez Jam, where my goal was to make a minimalist city builder that fit within 64x64 resolution. Kind of crazy to look back on that after two years. #indiegame

The original name of the game was “Lueur”, which means “glimmer” or “low light” in French. But I had to change it. Why? If you don't speak french, go do something else for 5 minutes, then try to write the name back in the replies of this post. You'll understand!
