I like creating games and new worlds to explore, especially games with interesting mechanics or twists. I love indie games, anime, my wife and my cats!

Thank you for playing the demo! It was great to see you try the updated version of the game! The save you were loading in the beginning was actually your old save (I tried to keep them compatible, but starting a new save was definitely the right choice)!

By play-tester request! Today @DavidMaletz added a painter tool to #AgroundZero. 🎨
It's useful for not getting lost while mining and exploring!
And.. for fun! We can't wait to see the paint-block masterpieces some players are sure to create.

Thrilled to announce we'll have nearly 300 games in #TurnBasedFest!
Excited to show the huge variety in turn-based video games, all united by fun based on smart choices & clever planning instead of reflexes & reactions.
