- Game Will Now Continue Development! - 20 September 2025
Hello! Thank you to any playtesters that requested and participated in this week's playtest build! With this playtest week out of the way, the game's development can now continue with the inputs in mind. Though unfortunately, the amount of feedback the playtest build got was, putting it lightly, less than expected, so the feedback form will also be available in the demo version. Either you are playing the demo in here or itch, there will be access to send feedback in the bottom left button in the main menu. Will highly appreciate any feedback, and also keep in mind I will be dealing with any feedback more dynamically now since I will be doing it while developing the last leg of the game instead waiting around for any inputs to come in, so things may get noticed and worked on slightly slower.On other news surrounding the game, Pokitaire seems to now have it's very first Steam curator! Th…

So feel free to play, break, and play and break the game and give me the feedback I desperately need.Remember the access will only lastFrom the 15th to the 19th Sept!
- Game Now Needs Playtesters!! - 12 September 2025
Hello! Game's release is only around a month later now and the progress on the game is very close to being done. But before that day comes, comes the polish and fixing any obvious bugs, but as the creator, my eyes has narrowed too much on what could possibly go wrong when playing my game, so I would need YOU! person reading this to help me out. If you go to the Steam store page now there should be a button to join the playtest! Once you are in it, you will be able to play the nearly completed version of this game and you can either play it like you own it, try and purposely break it, or play in a mysterious third way. But importantly, after you think you've sufficiently played it to form any feedback or face any issues, head to the 'Send Feedback Here' button placed in the main menu and in the final ending screen, which will bring you into a form where you can send your feedback and iss…

Hello! Some bug fixes has been made to the demo of Pokitaire, mainly related to how cards aren't fully disabled when the game is paused or not in play.Fix bug of being able to deal cards when no cards are selectedFix bug of being able to break Tutorial Deck's script via quick dealingSelected cards are now deselected when game is pausedOk, with that out of the way, now for the marketing updates. It has been decided;Pokitaire will be released at Oct 21st 2025!!The full game will be both available here and itch.io in around 2 months, so mark your calendars! If you're wondering what the progress of the full game is looking like, believe it or not, ever since version 1.3, I've been purely working on the finale of the game. The nature of this game's difficulty curve comes from decks becoming more and more complicated and I have been trying my best to keep the code future proof as the decks ge…
- Game has 100+ Wishlists!! - 18 July 2025
Hello! We have yet another marketing related devlog! This time is to celebrate the milestone of the Steam version of the game reaching 100+ wishlists! As time of writing this, there are specifically 115, which is way more than my initial expectation of like.. 5, so thank you all for that! Perhaps we can reach higher, maybe 150? or even 250?! Regardless, this milestone may be small compared to other games on Steam, but it is a big milestone specifically for this one!Also this game has been featured in playtester.io! Which is a website that lists alphas, betas, and demos for upcoming games. Personally, I have some doubts if being featured in this website will help me much because of its seemingly small notoriety, but I don't think it matters much for me, it's just nice to featured by something/someone external.Anyway, there are some bug fixes that I did to justify this devlog and there is…
- Game Now has Skins! - 1 July 2025
Hello! Pride month is unfortunately coming to an end, but not for the skin because the game now has a skins system! You now get to choose different variants of the front face. Right away, everyone should have three skins available (Default, High Contrast, and Pride). To unlock the other two, will require the player to complete specific objectives. The amount of skins for now is very limited, but the full version later on will have way more and the objectives will also function as achievements! So they are going to require some elbow grease to complete.There's also a few bug fixes and QoL additions, the major ones are mainly for the Steam version, like being able to properly close the game and an actually working display settings. To be honest, working on this feature is cutting time from the development of the full version, but it should be fine because I was planning to add achievement…
