Hello, folks! My name\u2019s Nick and I\u2019m one of those two guys who made Don\u2019t Crawl. Do you remember it?\u00a0The game was originally made for Ludum Dare 33 (theme was \u201cYou are the Monster\u201d), and over a year reworked into a full-scale Steam release<\/a>, complete with matchmaking, map editor, and Steam Workshop support for sharing maps.<\/span><\/p>\n

Initially, I\u00a0just wanted to see how would the general idea of Powerhoof\u2019s Crawl work in a classical platformer \u2013 I wasn\u2019t even intending to make a \u201ccomplete\u201d game. It seemed to work pretty fine, we\u00a0were even\u00a0approached by someone to potentially release a more polished version of the game for their platform.\u00a0<\/span>Fortunately or unfortunately, that deal didn\u2019t work out, but this suggested that the game has potential, so we continued working on it. And now, a year after the initial release, the game is on Steam!<\/span><\/p>\n

Huge thanks to the LD crew and local community! You made all that possible!<\/p>","time":"September 16th, 2016 1:36 pm","title":"Our LD game launched on Steam!","title_was_empty":false}
