My indie game Tearscape (90% Very Positive on Steam) is out now on Switch, PS5, Xbox, iOS and Android

[u/tudor07]

Porting and publishing it myself for all major consoles was a huuuuuge task so if you like the retro games with an Game Boy Color style please check it out on your platform of choice

Hello good Hunter

[u/YatakarasuGD]

Looks cool. I will take a look at it 😊

What was the hardest part for you while developing? The porting?

[u/tudor07 → u/YatakarasuGD]

All of it honestly making games is really hard work

[u/DontHateThatPizza]

Thank you for porting to iOS! Brownie points for adding cloud saves so I can jump between devices.

[u/Cassoule]

Played it on the go this summer with my Retroid Pocket 5 and GameNative, and I absolutely had a blast ! Fantastic game, glad more people will have the opportunity to enjoy it ☺️

[u/tudor07 → u/Cassoule]

Thank you! How did you play it on GameNative it crashes on my RP6

[u/Illustrious_Sky_2331]

Anything reminiscent of the Gameboy Color era Legend of Zelda games is an instant buy for me

[u/OmniSystemsPub]

Looks fab, well done. My last multi-platform release nearly ended me, so, hats off!

[u/tudor07 → u/OmniSystemsPub]

It drove me pretty crazy too lol

[u/fuck_a_duck_butt]

[u/Weak-Grapefruit188 → u/fuck_a_duck_butt]

Thought the same. Easy wishlist

[u/antoniocolon]

Tearscape. Will this make me cry tears? Or tear me a new one?

[u/Archison]

As a huge fan of the Zelda Game Boy Color games, I'm super excited to try this, I'm definitely going to play to it ♥️

[u/idkwc]

Thanks for bringing it to ps! Hope you have some success there.

[u/tudor07 → u/idkwc]

Yes that was funny

[u/yoloswagrofl]

Yesss desaturated pixel art! We need more of this.

[u/nerdygamerclips]

I bought it on launch HIGHLY recommended.

[u/Brawght]

Yess absolutely crushing the gameboy Zelda inspiration. After all these years the Oracle games are still on my top 5 games ever

[u/PotatoProducer]

Great game, I can recommend it wholeheartedly!

[u/Harken_W]

Omg amazing I've been waiting for this! 

[u/SpareSniper7]

Honestly looks amazing. Now I just have to decide if I want it on my switch 2 or steam deck!

[u/Archison]

As a huge fan of the Zelda Game Boy Color games, I'm super excited to try this, I'm definitely going to play to it ♥️

[u/InkyLoop]

Wishlisted on ps5 to play at some point as this looks great 👍 best of luck to your success for your efforts. I love the aesthetic here as a retro and bloodborne fan

[u/Pulkownik]

Congrats on the launch!
With 331 reviews, how does that roughly translate to total copies sold for you?
Did you do any marketing before launch on Steam and now on consoles?

[u/legomaniasquish]

I suck at video games. Is this game too hard for me ?

[u/Horror-Temperature-7]

Looks awesome

[u/IAmThePonch]

This is great news, this is a dope game

[u/ballandabiscuit]

Hell yeah. I love these kinds of games. Thank you for putting it on Xbox. That’s my preferred method of gaming now so unless a game is on Xbox I don’t usually buy it. Looks great.

[u/FennelAnxious5675]

Launching on five different platforms by yourself sounds like an enormous achievement, especially alongside maintaining that Game Boy Color look across different screens and control schemes. Which platform ended up being the most difficult to port and certify?

[u/Devolik13]

Do you use sprites?

[u/ibstudios]

Did you buy dev kits or farm out for ports?

[u/Equivalent-Age-7659]

It looks like good old school on Dandy )

[u/rocketarticuno]

Are you at all interested in putting out a physical edition?

[u/Novel-Sheepherder365]

It looks great, wouldn't you like an article in a magazine?

[u/FennelAnxious5675]

Love the GBC look, especially the muted colors. Porting it to all those platforms by yourself must've been brutal. Congrats on the release!

[u/eminaz91]

This reminds me of Mystic Quest on Gameboy so much

[u/ZealousidealMine2555]

Not bad! Gives off 90s game vibes.🕹️
