One Year Anniversary!
(En Francais plus bas)
English
Encounter was released on December 20th 2024.
That was my first 100% indie launch, and there were quite many things to learn, not only about making a game, but also how to put it on Steam, get people to know about it, etc…
Ultimately, only about 300 people bought the game, less than half launched it, and one tenth finished it, but it got good reviews so I’m satisfied.
If you want to know more, I wrote a quite long blog post detailing the entire project timeline, including graphs, numbers, plenty of screenshots and links: Encounter: One Year Later
And have a nice winter break everybody, take care!

Encounter est sorti le 20 décembre 2024.
C’était mon tout premier lancement 100 % indie, et il y avait pas mal de choses à apprendre, pas seulement sur la création d’un jeu, mais aussi sur la façon de le mettre sur Steam, de le faire connaître aux gens, etc…
Au final, seulement environ 300 personnes ont acheté le jeu, moins de la moitié l’ont lancé, et un dixième l’ont terminé, mais il a reçu de bonnes critiques donc je suis satisfait.
Si vous voulez en savoir plus, j’ai écrit un article (en anglais) de blog assez long qui détaille toute la chronologie du projet, avec des graphiques, des chiffres, plein de captures d’écran et des liens :Encounter: Un an plus tard
Passez de bonnes vacances d’hiver à tous, prenez soin de vous !

It was a great achievment Dbug. Oric software is always a bit thin on the ground but this was a banger and I enjoyed playing it on my real Oric-1.
Thanks a lot, hopefully there will be more bangers in the future :)
