Elbow Grease Games

https://lnkd.in/gujTNd3e Just completed EGG’s first prototype mixer and announced the portfolio!

In the last 12 months, Suzerain has sold 80,000 DLC copies, a huge milestone for our team. On top of that, Suzerain is now officially part of Google Play Pass, many thanks to Google for this opportunity! With the upcoming 3.1 "Sovereign" update, Kingdom of Rizia is expanding with new content, characters, and features, along with improvements to both the DLC and the base game. To reflect this growth and ensure long-term sustainability, we are adjusting the DLC price to $14.99. The Torpor Games Account System (codenamed Necropolis) is also evolving, bringing cloud save sync and cross-platform achievements transfer to keep progress for our players seamless across platforms. We have also seen a steady rise in game sales from China, and voluntary French localization is now available, thanks to our dedicated community. A special thank you as well to the Google Indie Games Accelerator program for all the insights and learnings that have helped us grow. This year, we are excited to share four big announcements: - A new Suzerain Universe experience - Exciting developments for an existing platform - Expanding to new platforms - A major company update More details soon, appreciate all the support as we keep building and improving!

GDC Here we go! ?? After some time turtling with our prototype, we’re finally ready to let people play Junkyard! I'll bring it with me :) See you all soon in SF! ------------------------- Still have some slots, so if your doing game funding, feel free to DM me here or at M2M if you’d like to meet and see what it plays like! Or.. Perhaps we should simply meet near this mysterious Blue Elephant??

?? Pokémon + Minecraft ARPG Want to see it at GDC? ?? "Tomo: Endless Blue" offers: ?? AI-driven living worlds – Maps, architecture, villages, NPCs, cultures, quests, and entire stories fully procedurally generated—offline. ??? Networked voxel physics – Unlike Minecraft’s static blocks, ours can move. Build a boat out of blocks, set sail with friends. ?? Tomo as companions – Real agents that can terraform, interact, and live in the world. Your Tomo adapts—exploring, battling, or just chilling in its own cozy home. ?? Terrain-based ARPG combat – Switch between your POV and your Tomo creature. Use terrain and blocks strategically to gain the upper hand. Spread water to cool down a fire Tomo, then target the water with an electric attack for massive damage. It’s all dynamic. ?? DM me if you want to connect at GDC (or the week after until 03/28). I’ll have a deck + playable demo. ?? Series A fundraising begins after March 27 when we drop our reveal trailer.

Duskers pops up on lists not too infrequently, and each is an honor, but #2 on a list of most *experimental* strategy games makes me feel good... especially a list made years after it launched :) https://lnkd.in/gEmdGgQk

I'm speaking at this event tonight at DNA Lounge in SF! Come hear me talk about the most boring topic imaginable: pitching video games to venture capitalists, as I share the stage with Alina Matson and Jenny Xu who'll be talking about marketing games to Gen Z and building a great studio culture! https://lnkd.in/gZS3KA7m

Rock, Paper, Shotgun Ltd just featured Tim Keenan ??DICE, GDC and his latest Misfits Attic updates! Great article by Brendan Caldwell. https://lnkd.in/gBJ7XKRU

Wanna see what we've been up to? We've got three games we've been developing and I wanted to give our community an update :) https://lnkd.in/gSyQ4DhG

I wrote a post about what I learned from Rob Pardo, Ilkka Paananen, Wesley Kerr, Mihir Vaidya and Andrew Chen on The EGG Blog. This was one of the most interesting panel discussions I've ever attended. Thanks again Supercell and Otto S?derlund for organizing the event. https://lnkd.in/d4YNuN9U

Thank you Supercell, Otto S?derlund and Ilkka Paananen for having Elbow Grease Games at your AI Gaming event in SF! Not sure I’ve ever seen a more high-powered panel than this. Great presentations, great discussions.
