• Partnership, Game Devs of Color, and demo update! - 22 September 2026

  Hey friends!I’m excited to announce that today I have signed with a publisher: Firesquid! Why a Publisher?In short, while the developer makes the game, the publisher’s job is to make sure the game can reach as many players as possible. In this day and age, that’s no longer a necessity - many indies self-publish. However these are often larger teams or famous developers. So considering that I’m a solo developer (with freelance support) I’d rather invest my limited time building the game itself, instead of spending it on marketing, publishing, and distribution. Arguably important parts of making a game, but not things I am particularly good at. Which is why I decided to look for a partner to collaborate with and why I'm super happy I found Firesquid!Why Firesquid?Firesquid is an indie strategy game publisher that aims to support titles that modernize and revisit the genre. And I think Cro…

• Filling the City with Life - 30 July 2026

  Hi folks! It’s been quiet from me for a bit because I have been working hard. I do tend to focus so much on the game that I sometimes forget to keep you all updated.

• Crownbreakers Demo is Live - 28 January 2026

  Hi everyone! I hope everyone had a good start into 2026. I've been chugging along working on and polishing the Crownbreakers Demo and it's finally ready! It took a bit until I felt it was good enough to see the light of day but starting today you can grab the Demo on itch.io.The demo offers around 30 to 60 minutes of playtime. It contains the initial tutorial level and a brief taste of the city meta gameplay. From there you can start a run against the tyrant of Downfalls. Win or lose that run you can then take a look at a late game experience in a bigger level with a more complex deck and tougher enemies.I"m eager for you to give it a go and share your feedback with me! You can either do so through the special feedback form in the demo's main menu, you can post here or join the Sharkbomb Studios discord.Why itch.io and not Steam?I decided to launch the demo on itch.io first because it i…

• 3 Years of Development & 3 Lessons from Nowhere Prophet - 29 December 2025

  Happy holidays, my friends!It's the tail end of the year and that's a good opportunity to look back at the year and to see how far you've come. I know I have the tendency to always look at all the work I have left to do, which makes me forget to celebrate and appreciate all the work I have already done.So in the interest of my mental health, I've put together a little video showing the progress on Crownbreakers from the very first pre-prototypes I put together at the end of 2022, all the way to now, three years later in 2025 with the game being almost demo ready:A video showing the development of Crownbreakers over the yearsI've been sharing this video (and other things about Crownbreakers) around social media (okay, mostly Reddit) a bit and I have to say, I was really positively surprised by the many people that piped up to say that they really enjoyed Nowhere Prophet and conversely ar…

• Building the City of Crownbreakers - 3 December 2025

  Hello Friends,November was a busy month for me! Here's all the cool stuff I added to the game:NEW CITY VISUALSUp until November the visuals for the city were still a rough placeholder. Now this part of the game has been dramatically improved!The old placeholder interface for the cityThe new city screen, visuals still WIPIt took a while to really figure out how to present the city. We could have skipped the 3d environment and just made an abstract menu but it's important to me for Cascade to feel like a place. A big part of that was figuring out the scale and level of abstraction. I've started with actual geographic data from cities to try things but it quickly turned out that showing individual buildings is too much. It also requires a camera that's close enough for those to matter, but that would either lead to a tiny city or a lot of scrolling.I eventually decided on a scale that's fa…
