new devlog: i fixed all the boring screens in my free mobile MMO. gold coin prices, lists that just scroll, receipts when you buy stuff, and a pop-up that tells you why you can't afford it.

@DeciMiel late reply, but 80% from Singapore is wild. we see something similar, enough of our players are in Asia that we ended up running a separate Asia server. ever figure out where they found you?

[Chump Life @vnlgamedev]

i added a player market to my free mutant MMO. set your own price, sell to other players, and the coins land in your inbox even when you're offline. free on google play, ios and browser. full video: https://t.co/L7q6dF6qXG

[Chump Life @vnlgamedev]

The Market is open! List anything from your bag at your own price, browse what other players are selling, and get paid to your Inbox even while you're offline. Free on Google Play, iOS and browser - https://t.co/UnYap2dwUh

New: SELL YOUR GEAR! Every shop now has a Sell tab - trade spare weapons and armour for Chump Change. Rare stuff like titanium pays more, worn gear pays less.

New update: climb out of a camp guard's reach and it steps back and throws stuff at you, then grabs junk off the ground when it runs dry. NPCs get tired like you too: they huff and back off to catch their breath. Free on Google Play, iOS and browser - https://t.co/UnYap2dwUh

[Chump Life @vnlgamedev]

Update: thrown items really fly now. They hit only what they touch, so see it coming and step aside. Every swing, flinch, blocked hit and hard landing also plays the same on every screen. Free on Google Play, iOS and browser - https://t.co/UnYap2dwUh

[Chump Life @vnlgamedev]

You asked, we listened. NPCs are now born brave or timid: brave ones stand their ground and fight, timid ones run. Kills give 3x XP, breaking items down pays 5-10x the coins, and no more hitting through walls.

You can finally heal. Eat & drink to restore health and energy — apples, jerky, an energy drink, even a Can of Worms for a temp max-HP boost. Snacking leaves you wide open; overeat and your guy hurls.

@impulse9studio a thousand in two weeks with no big external push is the good kind of number, it means the page itself is doing the work. congrats. what pulled them in, the trailer or the capsule?

[Chump Life @vnlgamedev]

@PureContender a practice pitch is worth three tutorials. people learn a shooting arc by missing it forty times, not by reading a panel. ours has a how to play screen almost nobody opens, everything they know they learned by getting bonked. does the keeper get harder as you score more?

[Chump Life @vnlgamedev]

@DeciMiel yeah singapore reads english fine so you are probably already covered. what surprised us was how much the store LISTING languages pull on their own - we do 20 and installs track the listing more than the in game text. did your SG spike hold or was it a one week thing?

[Chump Life @vnlgamedev]

@TheCeferial the accidental ones are always the best ones. our npc behaviour editor started life as a debug panel to work out why a scavenger kept walking into a wall, and now it is the thing we author every creature in. fourth wall breaking enemies sounds unhinged, do it

Update: phone joystick is digital - past the dead zone you walk full speed, snapped to 8 headings. On a loot pile? Tap the hand once for the list, again to take all. A punch no longer roots you above half energy. Free on Google Play, iOS and browser - https://t.co/UnYap2dwUh
