Hey content creators, I'm Lente. I live on a boat and have been working on my game "Spilled!" for a year now.
It's about cleaning up oil spills and I finally finished a Steam DEMO for it! It would mean the world to me if you'd try it 🫣
(Tag your favourite creator!)
I need to share this with someone, I’m overwhelmed.
- A YouTuber with 2 million subs played Spilled!
- I got mentioned in the Kickstarter Newsletter again.
- Someone pledged 1,500.
- We completed all the stretch goals!
All this just today. 63 hours left on the Kickstarter.
First day at my new job at my small towns super market! I really like it so far. I do everything from baking bread, to the register, to managing the shop :)
It's two days a week and allows me to keep working on my game the rest of the week 😊
I'm not sure what sex would look like in a game about cleaning up oil spills with a boat...
but I will add it. At 26,969 followers by the end of the year
Help me with translating the little text that my game 'Spilled!' has! - It's about ~30 words, mostly menu and settings stuff.
Mostly looking for: Italian, German, Japanese, Spanish, French, Simplified Chinese and Korean.
- thanks!!!
for every 100 likes I will upgrade the boat so that it can eventually clean up this huge oil spill!
ps. this is my game Spilled! and i'm running a Kickstarter right now!
Working on a little game where you clean up oil spills!
Deliver the oil to a recycle facility for coins, and upgrade your boat :)
🧵A thread on the prototyping process!
(and how you can try out the game!)
im a little sick right now, but..
WE DID IT! we finished the Kickstarter at 316% funded!
Spilled! is definitely going to be a real thing now!
thank you for supporting my indie dream. I'm so excited for the future :) 🌱

maybe my next game can be in Godot :)
I'm very happy to share that I finished work on another area in Spilled!
This area is of the Rock biome, featuring a new environment to explore and clean up, a simple quest mechanic, and new animals to save!
You can play it now on my Patreon!
I traveled 20+ hours by bus to get to
@spelkollektiv

My first time traveling solo, it’s been amazing so far!
People from all over the world in a huge house with your own room, offices, games, food, etc.

AAAAAAAA itch io featured me on their YouTube channel!!!!!!!
I first uploaded games there 6 years ago. I never thought something like this would happen. It means a lot to me!!!
