🐦‍⬛New Game Announcement!🔥

Well Dweller is a dark fairy-tale metroidvania about a tiny bird armed with a matchstick on a quest to burn the wicked queen. I previously made Crypt Custodian and Islets and I’m so excited to share this new game!

@nickjcal Thanks so much!!

[Kyle Thompson (WELL DWELLER out on September 22!) @KyleThompsonDev]

@WojcikJakub Hey thanks so much! I'm so glad you could all enjoy it, thanks for playing!

[Kyle Thompson (WELL DWELLER out on September 22!) @KyleThompsonDev]

The launch discount on Well Dweller ends tomorrow, and it marks 2 weeks since release! Console patches are being sent in very soon, I'll post an update when that is finalized. Thanks so much for all the support at launch, I really appreciate it!

[Kyle Thompson (WELL DWELLER out on September 22!) @KyleThompsonDev]

@maisumopinador I'll look into this, it is rather that Steam has very low regional pricing than the default, but can see what the options are

[Kyle Thompson (WELL DWELLER out on September 22!) @KyleThompsonDev]

@temakhlebnikov So if she left the boss, but managed to get the golden feather otherwise somehow then it would count the boss as "complete" and block you from re-entering it

[Kyle Thompson (WELL DWELLER out on September 22!) @KyleThompsonDev]

@temakhlebnikov Hey! That is very strange, I haven't heard that before. I looked at the code, and the gate is directly tied to the feather after the boss, so if the gate is locked it means you have collected the feather after the boss.

@_The_Erik Thank you! Did you upgrade every trinket to the maximum amount? That adds percentage as well

[Kyle Thompson (WELL DWELLER out on September 22!) @KyleThompsonDev]

@Adrilocario I hope so eventually, but I haven't made plans on a physical release just yet!

[Kyle Thompson (WELL DWELLER out on September 22!) @KyleThompsonDev]

Thanks so much for such an amazing launch day! I'm overwhelmed and really really grateful for all the support. It means a ton, Well Dweller has already done so much better than I ever could have expected and I am so thankful for that. (1/2)

[Kyle Thompson (WELL DWELLER out on September 22!) @KyleThompsonDev]

@AndrewNye9 Thanks! And in the next patch (already on Steam, but coming elsewhere very soon) there will be checkpoints in the chase on easy difficulty, so you can switch to easy until the chase is done.

[Kyle Thompson (WELL DWELLER out on September 22!) @KyleThompsonDev]

@MrBMoon1 Ah good note there, I can fix that thank you!

[Kyle Thompson (WELL DWELLER out on September 22!) @KyleThompsonDev]

@Hollow_Knighter If you change the “camera zoom” setting on graphics options to “x1”, it will fix it, it’s in the process of being patched sorry about that!

[Kyle Thompson (WELL DWELLER out on September 22!) @KyleThompsonDev]

@EEVAGUND1STGIG I'm glad you're liking it so far, thank you!!

[Kyle Thompson (WELL DWELLER out on September 22!) @KyleThompsonDev]

@Tropos_AR it is a lot easier to learn when you are a kid and it sticks in your head. When I tried jumping back into gamedev again as an adult it was very seamless since I had learned the basics as a kid

[Kyle Thompson (WELL DWELLER out on September 22!) @KyleThompsonDev]

@Tropos_AR Yeah, in my 30s, no college or professional gamedev experience. I started tinkering with game engines for a few years as a kid (ages 12-17 or so) and then stopped for a decade before trying again. I suggest he start playing around with game engines now, (1/2)

[Kyle Thompson (WELL DWELLER out on September 22!) @KyleThompsonDev]

@CosmosGPR I appreciate that, thank you!!

[Kyle Thompson (WELL DWELLER out on September 22!) @KyleThompsonDev]

@romanousos That's being patched, it should be fixed on Steam but will be fixed elsewhere very soon, thanks for the report!

[Kyle Thompson (WELL DWELLER out on September 22!) @KyleThompsonDev]

@Nene_Smalfoot Thanks so much!!

[Kyle Thompson (WELL DWELLER out on September 22!) @KyleThompsonDev]

@maeruntyt I'm so glad you liked it, thanks so much!

[Kyle Thompson (WELL DWELLER out on September 22!) @KyleThompsonDev]

@TOONRJJ Thanks for playing!!

@Needmorepudds Thank you! Mostly just systems (the map system, menu system, save system, etc) but that saves a ton of time since they take a really long time to code initially
