2 weeks. ⚔️ Counter Tactics launches on Wednesday, April 8th on the App Store. 🚀 What's your Counter Tactic? ♟️ #GameDev #IndieDev #iOS #Strategy

There's a misconception that because good indie games are coming out, the indie game industry is doing well. This is absolutely not true Nobody can get funding for anything and the only way to make an indie game is to sacrifice years of your life Even then you're just one among thousands in a year

April 8th is "Trading Cards for Grown-Ups Day". It's also the launch date for #CounterTactics. Coincidence ? Nope. 😂 Check out the launch trailer. 🎥 #GameDev #IndieDev #iOS #Strategy

Preview of a new pawn I've been building for the upcoming update of #CounterTactics. #wipwednesday #indiedev #gamedev

Blue is in trouble. One more hit and their champion is lost. But wait! Using Rage + Nature's Warning, that sneaky goblin can defeat the red champion hiding in the fort. Let's watch this plays out. Link for #CounterTactics on iOS in bio! #screenshotsaturaday #indiedev #gamedev

I'm back! May and June are demanding months filled with family activities and progress on #CounterTactics tends to slow to a crawl. But July, August and September are the most productive, so stay tuned for updates! #indiedev #gamedev

Version 0.16.2 of #CounterTactics is live for the iOS beta via TestFlight (see bio)! I've added the Promo Code feature for all those who got codes at the OZ Play event a few weeks back. But, here's a free code to get you started: "TACTIC" #screenshotsaturaday #indiedev #gamedev

#ozplaygames was a blast in #fayetteville #nwa! I handed out 50+ cards linking to my game, #CounterTactics. For 2 hours straight, people were at my booth playing the game and sharing feedback. Lots of excitement and positive energy! Very motivating! #indiegamedev #gamedev

In #CounterTactics, who goes first is randomly decided when a battle starts. If you're second, you get a free "Turn the Tide" action. This action gives you two Arcane Shards, opening opportunities you may not have had before. Use it wisely! Beta link in bio! #screenshotsaturaday #indiedev #gamedev

🎮Northwest Arkansas Video Game Showcase 2025! 🚀 The Ozark Game Developers group is having their annual showcase on Thursday, April 17th at Likewise in Fayetteville. It was such a hit last year they needed to get a bigger venue this time around! (1/2) #indiegamedev #gaming

Who would win? "Mystic Touch" in #CounterTactics means the damage dealt ignores Armor. So even though the Armor (4) plus the Core (2) of the Shieldbearer is 6, the Haunt deals 5 damage directly to its Core. Haunt wins. Beta link in bio! #screenshotsaturaday #indiedev #gamedev

Version 0.16.0 of #CounterTactics is now available! Check my bio for a beta link through TestFlight. In this version, I introduced customized profiles. You can select your name, avatar and background. Plus, you can see stats on OTHER players. #indiedev #gamedev

In #CounterTactics, when you first start, Rusty introduces you to the game and gives you his token. Make sure to add it to your Battle Stack! It will allow you to try out rare tokens you may not have during a battle. Beta link in bio! #screenshotsaturaday #indiedev #gamedev

In #CounterTactics, when a pawn uses an action, the pawn rests until your next turn. The "Capture" mechanic triggers when you take control of a spawn point. So the Goblin Home-Finder can essentially do a double move. Beta link in bio! #screenshotsaturaday #indiedev #gamedev

The Catacomb Keeper has multiple mechanics in #CounterTactics. If you tap and hold a token, you can get a breakdown of how each mechanic works. During battle, you can also see any added modifiers, and their sources, on this screen. See beta link in my bio. #screenshotsaturaday

In #CounterTactics, you choose two Champions to form your Battle Stack. Your Primary Champion will start on the battlefield and your Secondary Champion will be shuffled into your Battle Stack. Join the beta! See link in my bio. #screenshotsaturaday #indiedev

The Haunting of Joni Evers releases in just 1 week! Face the past and break the curse in this emotional and slightly spooky #walkingsimulator, wishlist on Steam today! #indiegames #steamgame

In #CounterTactics, you can practice against the AI before you play real opponents by talking with Rusty. Join the beta! See link in my bio. #screenshotsaturaday #indiedev

In #CounterTactics, pawns may have "Armor". It prevents damage to their Core, but is consumed in the process. However, certain abilities, like "Guard", and tiles, like "Forts", provide additional sources of armor that isn't consumed. Join the beta! #screenshotsaturaday #indiedev

In #CounterTactics, Champions have the "Augmentation" ability, which they can use to increase your Arcane Shard (A.S.) cache's capacity. Your cache refills at the start of your turn. You need A.S. to play Pawns and Actions. Join the beta! #screenshotsaturaday #indiedev

Hot take: Firebase is awesome for #mobile app development. #ios #CounterTactics #indiedev
