Hi! I'm Josh, a solo game dev. Some of you might know me from my last game, Super Ember Kaboom .

This is my newest game, Firefly Village. It's a cozy-and-compact farming sim, with a focused cast and shorter days. It has the same snappy, colorful, and juicy gameplay that people loved from Ember, but recontextualizes it into something new.

That's not all, this time I've teamed up with a publisher: indie.io!

Why?

For those of you who may not know, working with a game publishing platform like indie.io greatly helps indie developers focus on game development while they handle all the behind-the-scenes magic. From helping manage store pages to crafting marketing campaigns and even helping the game shine at both digital and live events, indie.io helps in all the aspects that indie developers often struggle with alone.

To be honest, I was skeptical about signing on with a publisher. As you'd expect, most publishers just wanted me to make Stardew-Valley-but-bigger. But indie.io actually seems to "get" my vision and is committed to supporting it. So, long story short, I made the leap!

Together we're really making something awesome. I'd deeply appreciate it if you follow and wishlist to keep updated. Heck, even just liking this post would make my day.

Love,
Josh
