On this day, 10 years ago, I released Shattered Pixel Dungeon v0.1.0. This tiny initial release was my first serious attempt at gamedev and was distributed to maybe 50 people on the Pixel Dungeon subreddit.
Fast forward 10 years and Shattered is my full-time job, with roughly 5 million combined downloads and roughly 150 thousand combined sales over several platforms. Even after all these years, more new people are discovering Shattered now than ever before, and the updates I make are getting bigger and better.
Join me for a quick walk down memory lane, and for a preview of something very exciting that’s yet to come…
Thanks for the tip! I was having a hard time with taking damage. I’ll probably do a couple runs sometime tonight. Picked up a couple of board games to play with the partner, so I’ve gotta play at least one of those. (Just realized I’ve finished dinner and they haven’t. Time to sneak in a run or 10)
