Building Hexfell, a cozy tile-laying deckbuilder. Start with 3 tiles, grow an island, break the game. Wishlist ↓

Hi 👋 I'm Paul. Eons ago I left a flourishing quant dev career to build the games I loved playing as a kid.

First stop: Hexfell — a Dorfromantik-inspired deckbuilder about growing tiny island landscapes, with a deck of Tiles.

Here's a sneak preview 👇 #indiedev #gamedev

@fr33germany Yes, planning Windows/OS X/Linux/SteamDeck compatibility.

I left my quant career to make Hexfell, a tile-laying deckbuilder. Wishlist on Steam if it looks like your thing 🌋

@Visual_Salman I really like the style for the water, a bit slower to match the general relaxing vibe perhaps?

Hit a key, change the world. Procgen can be so addictive! Re-roll until the board is perfect, or play the hand you're dealt? #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev

@dyrkabes Thank you! Ha, never came across Reus, looks cool!

One humble tile, carefully placed: 30+ effects, clear the level instantly! #indiedev #gamedev

@SkydomeHive 100%, plenty of survivorship bias here. Still, it's not a bad mindset: can I make the game smaller, to make it better?

[Paul Grigoras @drhindsight]

@TrumpFastSpeed Yep! Kinda of like Dorfromantik meets Slay the Spire: you grow & improve your deck of tiles in order to solve harder and harder runs?

@sunrise_venture Thank you!

[Paul Grigoras @drhindsight]

@OnuhIfeomablog Thank you! Most likely won't pay off, but at least I'm having some fun, and hopefully build something other people enjoy 😅

@adrxdr "When it's ready!" 😂

[Paul Grigoras @drhindsight]

1600% week on week growth! Ah, the beauty of starting from nothing... 😅 #indiedev #buildinpublic

[Paul Grigoras @drhindsight]

@KayLousberg Looking forward to this one!

[Paul Grigoras @drhindsight]

@BigWhoopGames So cool how did you implement that?

[Paul Grigoras @drhindsight]

@AmberwindGames Looks so cozy! (+1) wishlist

[Paul Grigoras @drhindsight]

@mumpitzgames Inspirational: small, fast & a GOOD game. I'm about 0.064% of the way there 🤣

[Paul Grigoras @drhindsight]

@noio_games Makes sense! Thanks for replying, you're one of the reasons I took the leap to gamedev, so this means a lot

[Paul Grigoras @drhindsight]

@OctopusPunchDev Nice little hook, looks promising!

[Paul Grigoras @drhindsight]

@Babaganosch Great vibe, wishlisted!
