Gambonanza 1.3.0 is OUT! ♟️🔥 This update is all about creativity, experimentation, and accessibility, and I had a blast making it! ✨ 2 new Gambits (including 1 from the community!) 🎓 Tutorial revamp ⚖️ Tons of balance changes 🐛 LOTS of bug fixes Go break the game 😄

3 weeks ago, I released Gambonanza Since then the game has reached: - 200k+ sales (135k on Steam - 75k on mobile) - 300k+ wishlists I wanted to share the real numbers, what helped the most, and the things that genuinely surprised me as an indie dev 👀 Thread 🧵 1/15

100.000 copies sold on Steam in 8 days😱 This is completely unreal to me! Thank you all so much for the love, the chaos, the streams and the support. Seeing so many people enjoy this weird little chess roguelike means the world to me ❤️

I LOVE when players surprise me with my own game 😭 Tonight, I watched XandyPants turn a Gambit I intentionally designed to be weak into a completely broken build. We’ve reached the "the players are smarter than the dev" phase of Gambonanza 👀

Took a small step back from gamedev and talked about Gambo’s journey with Gamers Heroes! We talked inspirations and niche little dev anecdotes that usually stay behind the scenes ❤️ Hope you'll like it! Thanks for the opportunity Casey!
