"Don't Let It Die" - Digital - Now Available on Android!

I am thrilled to announce the official release of my much-anticipated digital board game, "Don't Let It Die," on the Google Play Store! As an indie and solo designer and developer, this marks a significant milestone in my journey, and I am incredibly excited to share this unique prehistoric survival experience with you.

Game Overview: Step back in time to a prehistoric era where your tribe has just discovered fire. In "Don't Let It Die," you must guide your tribe through the trials and tribulations of starting and maintaining fire to ensure your tribe's survival and advancement. This game is a blend of strategy, resource management, and survival, where every decision can mean the difference between the dawn of a new era or the end of your tribe.

About the Development Journey: As an indie developer, I have poured countless hours into crafting a game that not only challenges players but also immerses them in a richly detailed fantasy prehistoric world. The inspiration for this game came from a fascination with early human history and the incredible ingenuity our ancestors displayed in mastering the elements to survive and thrive.

Every aspect of "Don't Let It Die" has been meticulously designed to reflect the struggles and triumphs of a tribe on the brink of discovery. Don’t let the cute visuals lower your guard though, the intricate gameplay mechanics challenge players to think strategically and manage resources wisely, my goal was to create an experience that is both engaging and strategic.

What to Expect: You will encounter a variety of challenges that test your ability to keep your tribe alive. You'll need to gather resources, manage your tribe's needs, and make critical decisions that affect the survival and growth of your Tribe. The game's mechanics are designed to be easy to learn but provide deep synergies and strategic opportunities, providing a satisfying experience for both casual and hardcore gamers.

The game also features a compelling narrative of your Tribe’s adventures through the day that unfolds as you progress, revealing the story of your tribe and their quest to master fire. Each playthrough offers a unique experience, with different challenges and opportunities, ensuring that no two games are ever the same.

Community and Support: I am incredibly grateful for the support and feedback from the gaming community throughout the development of "Don't Let It Die." Your insights and enthusiasm have been invaluable in shaping the game into what it is today. As the game launches on Android, I am excited to continue this journey with you, hearing your stories and experiences as you dive into the game.
