We're making a dice roguelike about feeding a dragon for twenty years. - Roll for ingredients - Build your island - Fuse absurd recipes into combos that break the score wide open. Miss a meal and you're next on the menu! #PitchYaGame

We FINALLY get to say it: We're funded! After canceling our first campaign, and coming back for a second micro 8-day campaign, it's so lovely to see our backers return to get us over the line. Thanks a million to our 149 backers 🙏🙏🙏

What happened to Starter Packs? Anyone keen on joining in on a "Dragons of Bluesky" if we create it? Tell me and I'll make it 👇👇👇

All of our 100% hand drawn dragons for Feed the Scorchpot (more in the comments)

Feed the Scorchpot is created by me (a solo dev) and my wife (the artiste). A... labor of love? The story goes: - dragon gives you an island - only asks to be fed in return - fishy but ok - feed for 20 years to get out alive Simple enough. Try the demo! How good of job has my wife done?!

We rejected $17K in funding. Bit clickbait, but that's what our first Kickstarter for @scorchpot.indieformer.com raised before we canceled. Too much was going to physical rewards, not enough to game dev. But we picked up where we left off, with a new goal, and there's only 4 days left!

We're in Volume 2 of Strategems! So many great games in this festival 🎲

I am a solo indie dev making a roguelike where you feed a dragon. - Tabletop-based gameplay with big math energy - Roll dice to harvest food - 100% hand-drawn art (by my wife) It’s called Feed the Scorchpot, and you can play the demo on Steam now.

This is... embarrassing 😞 Despite being fully funded, we are officially canceling the @Scorchpot Kickstarter campaign. It was a hard call to make, but it’s the right one for the game and the community. Here is what happened (Thread)

Feed me on your phones.

Comments like these make all the hard work worth waking up for 🙏 You are doing well out there indie devs 💪💪

When a player: > goes home > tells friend to wishlist our game > drags him to the booth the next day to play > AND explains the game to him The real MVP right there 🥹 There is no greater joy than watching someone share something they’re excited about 🙌

A great weekend for @scorchpot.bsky.social! Was great to see so many people come to feed the dragon. Thank y’all! Now onto the Kickstarter 💪

We just hit triple digit followers for the Kickstarter page. Grand.

Slow and steady, from 10 → 30 reviews — and all 100% positive! 🙏🙏🙏

The date has arrived you can Feed the Dragon: April 14th on Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ind...

We lost so much sleep over this video. You have no idea how hard this was to make 💀 (Yeah, we actually paid a voice actor.) Support an indie dev 🙏🥹

Such a pretty board layout (and some crazy numbers). Love seeing play testers push our game to the limit!

The oldest Czech game magazine (published since 1994), just featured us 🥹 Dream come true, been reading this since I was a kid. Quote of a lifetime: "Damn the developer, this game is an instant addiction, worse than Nutella." Chief editor is preparing a full preview for the next issue 🙃🙃🙃🙃

Our demo has hit the 10 review mark! Been crossing our fingers to get that positive rating soon. Great feedback coming through which will shape development a lot. Give the demo and try and send some feedback our way: store.steampowered.com/app/4338170/...

Woohoo, moving up in the world! With the recent Demo release and feature in the Board Game Fest, we've crossed 2000 big ones 🎉

The evolution of our Key Art

It is finally here. The Demo Trailer for Feed the Scorchpot 🔥

Extremely proud to say I put this trailer together myself for our upcoming game. A lot of creativity to try and bring a single-view board to life! Feed the Scorchpot is now live with a free demo, would love for you to give it a crack! store.steampowered.com/app/4338170/...

Demo Trailer: Complete. Watch the little sneak peek — full trailer coming next week 👀 Check the thread for what the timeline looks like 🔥

So even though we took a break, we were also busy coming up with a new name for our game. "Dragon Fodder" was trademarked! Despite our best efforts we didn't think to check. So after a bit of brainstorming and a lot of drawing, we re-introduce our game as: Feed the Scorchpot 🔥 New / Old art ↓

After a much needed break, we're back folks. 2026 is the year of the Dragon (in our calendars). Enjoy some new WIP art. Demo coming soon + a new trailer!

Getting our hands dirty creating some new art for our upcoming demo trailer. Multiple mouths and eyes to give some animation a go 😅

Dragon Fodder is finally in a state I’m happy with! The core gameplay now feels wonderfully smooth. Over the past month I’ve focused hard on the feel of the game – all the clicks, thunks, subtle shakes, and little nudges – and testers seem to really enjoy it. #screenshotsaturday

We're featured in the #TheMedievalFestival! Our planned release is mid-next year, but we have a demo soon 🐉 Go ahead and give it a wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/3966510/... And check out the rest of the fest: store.steampowered.com/curator/4474...

Meet Duchess, one of our dragon. She’s usually nice and loves being petted… As long as she’s fed… Otherwise dragons do what dragons gotta do 🔥 #dragonfodder #indieformer #dragon

Who can guess how I made these dragon sounds?

We’ve hit 1000 wishlists! So proud of this milestone and what we’ve achieved so far! To the community already backing us… THANK YOU! #dragonfodder #indieformer #wishlists

Testers needed! LOTS is happening at Dragon Fodder HQ... Things are moving fast and we are now moving to our 2nd round of testing (and YES! we now have a tutorial - ooh wee!) - we need some volunteers, please comment or DM if interested! #testersneeded #dragonfodder #indieformer

When your play testers love it so much it’s up on their second work monitor 😅

A great little moment to capture live on stream, breaking the game with almost 35,000 activations that took 13+ minutes to watch 🤣

Everyone! As part of the Steam Czech & Slovak Games Week we will be broadcasting live upon the DF Steam page. If you crave spectacle - or simply wish to witness how your future meals are prepared - attend at any of these: 22/11/25 @ 2AM CET 22/11/25 @ 11AM CET 23/11/25 @ 2AM CET 23/11/25 @ 8AM CET

Pause your scroll. Gather round, it’s time to meet some of our dragons… They all have a personality. Some hate bland food. Some hate overcooked food. Some just hate you; oh hang on - they all do. #dragonfodder #indieformer #tabletop #roguelike #dragon

Flavorsome alright…. But not quite good enough for The Dragon…. And that level of disappointment…. 🤣 #dragonfodder #indieformer #tabletop #roguelike #combo

Alright internet — we need a few brave souls for some Dragon Fodder play-testing 👀 ooh wee! We swear it’s totally unplayable and won’t hook you for hours. Definitely not. Nope. 🤣 Who wants a free key in exchange for some feedback? #dragonfodder #playtesters #roguelike

We finally have a dedicated Discord server where dev, publisher, playtesters, wishlisters and curious cooks and - of course - yours truly aka The Dragon are pretty active and the vibes are 🔥 come join us !

Beating the game on one of the highest level of difficulty must have felt good for that player. Shame it all crumbled at year 30… #dragonfodder #indieformer #tabletop #roguelike #dice #combo

The function for just DISPLAYING tooltips is 400 lines of code hahahah. Never thought we'd be getting deep in the little hover text but here we are. pls refrain from a heart attack looking at this, self-taught over here 😅

So the dragon’s hungry, let’s cook up some gameplay stew 🍲 Here are the core gameplay elements in #DragonFodder: See comments...

Bards can sing all they want… I’m doing another run… let’s get rolling 🎲🎲🎲 #dragonfodder #indieformer #roguelike #highscore #gameover

The only way to play any game is to put all your eggs in one basket, or in this case, one number. Go hard or go home. (in this case, I indeed went home 😭)

bro is really gonna hold me up for 2 hunger 😭

I could roll virtual dice all day

In #dragonfodder, every move you make will eventually end in certain death… Or will it? Question is… Will someone out there find a way to break the game...? #indieformer #roguelike #boardgame #unfairfun

Had a dairy focused run 🥛 Went well, till it didn’t 🫡 Then the dragon cooked the island to a crisp. Restart. Should we make a recipe book inspired by the games’ recipes? 🤭 #dragonfodder #indieformer #tabletop #roguelike #roguelite #recipe #combo #dice
