Hi everyone! Today I am announcing my next game, Moose Miners. It is an incremental game about moose mining gems! Have you ever dreamt about taking control over a mining corporation run by moose? Now you can! Wishlist it now! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2591410/Moose_Miners/

This update adds a new build that has makes the game run on the Steamdeck. So if you have one give it a try, it is a device that is perfect for this kind of game.

I am pleased to announce that my game Sidestep Legends is now fully released! It is a moba-inspired action roguelike about dodging spells and killing minions. It has some similarities with Dextram, but is more intense with more advanced controls. But if you enjoyed Dextram you might enjoy this one as well. Check it out below. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2077590/Sidestep_Legends/

Fixes:

• Fixed music not playing on some machines, this fix required going back to an older window backend resulting in your screen setting being reset. Sorry for that
• Fixed so enemies does not try to spawn outside game area in waves mode
• Fixed issue where line enemies spawned bottom formation when they should spawn in top formation
• Fixed bug where the light from the enemies would blink sometimes
• Hopefully reduced stuttering a bit*

Fixed an issue causing the screen settings to not be applied properly or reset to default settings

Fixed crash when settings ended up out of sync with available screen resolutions

Fixed a bug causing only the top 10 entries to be shown on the leaderboards

Fixed a bug causing the game to not open correctly on some machines

The release is soon here! Tomorrow at around 7pm CET the game will be available for purchase. So make sure you are ready and get your name in the top of the leaderboards. I have added some graphics options to the game since the demo and made some optimizations, so even if the demo did not run as well on your machine, it might do so now. I have updated the system requirements on the store page accordingly. Hope to see your names on the leaderboards tomorrow!

The release date for Dextram is set. It will be available here on Steam on November 8, 2021. Make sure to add it to your wishlist if you have not already to get notified when it is released.

I will be streaming me playing the demo live. I will be talking about the game and answer any question you have about the game and the development of it.

The free demo is now released, just head to the store page of Dextram and click download demo to try. Let me know what you think about the demo in the community channel on or on our discord server (https://discord.gg/RGJtWNapd3) See you on the leaderboard :)

I am happy to announce that Dextram will be part of the upcoming Steam Next Fest - October 2021 starting Oct 1. It's a festival focused around demos for upcoming games. To prepare for that we have made a demo of the game which we will release a little bit before the festival, this Monday ( Sep 6.) at 19:00 CEST. Until then you can join our new Discord https://discord.gg/RGJtWNapd3 where you can discuss the demo with me or other players.

The development of Dextram continues. Since the last post about the graphics improvements I have worked on a new game mode called waves. It plays the same as the normal game, but with a different spawning behavior for the enemies. Instead of spawning at random locations they spawn in predetermined spawning patterns. This allows for spawning more enemies at the same time without it becoming impossible to handle and allows for a little bit more strategic playstyle.
I have also created a new enemy type which patrols from edge to edge, it was designed to specifically fit well into the new game mode. You can see more clips from the new mode and the new enemy in a new gameplay trailer on youtube: [previewyoutube=ine4v24mv0U;full][/previewyoutube] And don't forget to Wishlist the game if you haven't already!

Since I published the store page a couple of weeks ago I have been working on improving the look of the game a bit more. You can see an example of it in the gif above. I have added lighting from the ships and changed the background to make the gameplay more visible. You can see the new graphics in the new gameplay trailer below or go to the store page to see even more: [previewyoutube=3N6ZC_O_hBw;full][/previewyoutube] Don't forget to Wishlist the game if you haven't already

Dextram is an upcoming arcade shoot 'em up game with a twist. There is no shooting, and you can only turn right. It is based on a mobile game I created a while back called Touch to Turn. For the PC Steam release I have completely remade the graphics and art style of the game and more power-ups, enemies and game modes will be added as well. If you want to follow the development of the game you can follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/gurkbanan Here I post some short video clips showcasing what I am working on every once in a while. Or you can subscribe to my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGCHhFjRwHr7iYLGeVgkEJw Here I will shortly start posting devlogs on the game.
