  First Look At “Lumberjacked”, a New Incremental Adventure Game Coming April 17th

  Hi everyone! I’d like to introduce and give an early look at my latest Incremental game “Lumberjacked!” It’s a Casual Adventure-Incremental game with some clicking where you wake up in a mysterious cabin in an even more mysterious forest, axe in hand, and one purpose. With the help of a little gnome, you’ll spend your time chopping trees, cashing in the logs, and upgrading your body and axe, as well as unlocking new tools to aid you in your harvesting. With multiple endings, will you embrace your destiny, or defy it? This is my first release where I’m not a solo-dev, as I’m working with Dumb Duck Games, and I can’t wait to show more on the game next week, as we inch closer to release date! Be sure to wishlist if you're interested :) https://store.steampowered.com/app/3593780/Lumberjacked/

  v1.35 - Character Customization, Hats, & Personal Fishing

  I'm really excited to bring you this update! It introduces a more personal experience to you and your avatar and introduces the foundation for the end-game content. You can now customize your character a bit, change their hair and its color, their clothes color, and purchase and equip hats! Or hide your hat and or hair, if they don't suit you. Earn "Fish Tokens" when you go on a personal fishing trip to a secret fishing area in the woods, once you've unlocked it. I know we've all been jealous of our fisher people customers getting to reel in all of the fish, and now it's your turn! As always, I will be playing all day, and waiting for your feedback to ensure the quality of this update is up to par with the rest of the game. Thank you for all of your support! New Gameplay: Customize your character to bring yourself into the game. Purchase new hats for your character. Go on personal fishing trips to a secret location in the woods. Earn Fish Tokens by catching fish on your personal fishing trips. 3 new achievements to earn. What's Next? After a bit more testing, I will begin to lean into the rest of the end-game content. There will be new fishing spots with more variations, unique fish at the new spots, and even more hats. Fish Chartering will allow you to bring your customers to new areas to fish and provide an entirely new gameplay experience once you've completed the base game as it currently is. And who knows what else? I'd love to hear your feedback on the Discord server, perhaps you have a great addition! Join the Discord

  v1.3 - More Customers, More Fish, More Management, and a Better Start

  While everyone loves positive reviews, negative ones openly reveal the flaws in a game, and I'd like to start by saying that I've heard you...and I'd like to thank everyone who has given feedback on Discord, and given positive reviews, as well! This update addresses the game's slow start, makes it a bit more exciting with more fish and customers overall, and adds a more detailed way to manage your prices and customers. Overview New Features: Customer happiness value that can alter spawn rate. Visual representations of customer happiness and the spawn rate. Rod, Bait, and Pond Capacity upgrades now increase popularity a little bit to help boost the start of the game. Adjustments: Higher customer spawn rate. Double pond capacity. Adjusted fish values to match the increase of above values. Popularity gain flows better with the increased customers and fish catches. First new fish unlocks, and upgrade purchases come a lot sooner at the start. Birds now give a small percentage of the pond's total fish value so, it keeps up with progress. Bug Fixes: Disabled upgrade buttons when filling the pond, which would cause issues. Disabled the ability to open the pond when filling it. The fish display card when deleting will now be disabled when the pond auto-opens, if active. Now let's get into the details! More Fisher Peoples & More Fish The start of the game was too slow, and I've addressed this. I started with the number of fish by increasing the max capacity upgrade levels, which has been doubled. To catch all these fish, the spawn rate of customers has also drastically increased. These two elements combined make the game quite a bit more exciting to watch and provide a more satisfying experience. It's important to keep in mind that this is still an idle game, so it does still start off slower and increase in rate as the game progresses, but I hope this helps make things less boring. Keeping the game running in the background can also cause popularity to increase at a higher r...
