We're in progress of also introducing isometric location art to all of the game's locations!

Hello Lemmy!

It’s been almost 6 months since I last posted here, and the reception here on Lemmy for our game has been awesome. We have another Wave going on right now, and also I have created a community here on lemmy as well ([email protected]) where I’ve been posting all of the development blogs and updates.

We have Wave 4 now on-going, and it’s running until 8th of June. If you want to gain direct access to the game, you can support the development or you can also apply for free beta access.

Since last post, we’ve added quite a lot of new content, including an entirely new skill, and adding support for smart watches on iOS, which has been one of the most frequently requested features. Support for smart watches on Android is coming later on as well!

If you haven’t heard about the game before, I started this project as a personal hobby project to help myself walk more. I tried most of the games available, but I wanted to have something that didn’t need attention while walking and wouldn’t have predatory monetization like most mobile games tend to have these days.

The game is inspired by RuneScape, and you level up skills, craft gear, find loot and so on by walking IRL. We have a short introduction video to the game where I explain and show how the game works in more detail. The video is a bit outdated nowadays, but fundamentals of the game are still the same.

We’ve also updated our roadmap to the game just few days ago, as we’re now switching our focus to finish up the big three remaining features after which we can launch the open beta.

Thanks again Lemmy for all the support we’ve gained from here. The feedback has also been awesome, and the encouragement we’ve had from your comments have meant a lot to all of us working on the game!

I’ll be answering all comments, feedback and questions here. Stay hydrated and keep walking everyone! <3

    Hey, thanks for the game, got accepted recently and have been really enjoying it.
    Sadly I’ve just come 3rd in the parents race at my kids sports day at the cost of pulling my calf muscle so it look like I’ll not be getting many steps in over the next few days.
    Keep up the great work, I’m looking forward to see how it progresses.

      Thank you so much, and that sucks! But prioritizing recovery is the key, WalkScape isn’t a sprint but a marathon, so there are a lot of opportunities to get more steps in once you’ve recovered your calf muscle <3
