Tiny indie game studio in Austin, TX. Latest: I Was Reincarnated with the [Idle] Skill, and Now I Do Nothing, an isekai parody idle game where doing nothing is the strategy. Free demo on Steam now, Early Access Nov 12. hello@matula.games
An idea I just had today: Tower Defence Contractor, Inc. You actually play as the company supplying the towers, and have to adjust prices/supply to maximize profit. Also, you have a subsidiary that's supplying the invaders with armor and vehicles. The goal is to keep them fighting and make more $.
You can read the full devlog, but the TLDR is I was waiting for art and playtesting for Reincarnated Idle... so I started another game: a mix of JezzBall + Stardew + Balatro Got the name "Penny Acres", made some pixel chickens in Aseprite, and now have a demo: matula.itch.io/penny-acres

Fence the fields, outwit the chickens, bring in the harvest.

"I Was Reincarnated with the [Idle] Skill, and Now I Do Nothing" is now on Steam, and I got an Android version ( #godot is so cool) in a closed testing phase. Should be a couple of weeks before that's out. I have a few things in the works: Penny Acres and Baby Fights are closest to done.
I mean... it's basically GTA 6. But without cars. (or shooting people or a third dimension or...)

I Was Reincarnated with the [Idle] Skill, and Now I Do Nothing on Steam
Every hero summoned to this world got an amazing skill. You got [Idle]: you only get stronger while doing absolutely nothing. Your party fights the Demon Lord's armies. You nap under a tree and collect all the EXP. An idle comedy that plays better when you're not playing it.

I made a "visual manga" (is that a thing) as sort of a prequel to the game. #isekai #manga #visualmanga #godot Disclosures in the vid description. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NS9c...

Congratulations to Unity and Unreal Engine on becoming Godot's first ultra-premium titanium diamond patrons for introducing so many new users to Godot!
I've got the full video, but tried to split it up into chapters... so also releasing YouTube shorts for each chapter. Hopefully it's helpful... #indiedev #godot #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6uP...

Matula Games@matulagames.bsky.social · 2w agoOne thing with Godot I haven't seen too many videos about, is creating things like cutscenes. I'm starting work on some "behind the scenes" for how I did the intro for my Reincarnated game. https://store.steampowered.com/app/5395030/I_Was_Reincarnated_with_the_Idle_Skill_and_Now_I_Do_Nothing/

While waiting for my Reincarnated Idle game to launch, and doing bug fixes... I've been working on a little game I'm calling "Penny Acres": https://matula.games/penny_acres.jpg Learning Aseprite and making something more dynamic. Basically Jezzball + Balatro. Is that anything?

Thinking I'll use this space both to promote my new games... but also progress on new things I'm working on, and ideas I have. matula.games has everything. I've been working on Kings Don't Stack for a bit, but still not happy. Penny Acres was an idea as a distraction, but probably the next release

Namake was reincarnated with the one skill nobody wanted: [Idle]. It levels up while he sleeps, so his increasingly resentful party does the fighting. The free demo is out now on Steam. Early Access starts Nov 12. store.steampowered.com/app/5395030 #indiegames #idlegame #MadeWithGodot
