Nauticrawl

The Steam Summer Sale is quickly coming to an end, so we wanted to give a quick "last chance" reminder to everyone that Nauticrawl will be 50% off for another 24 hours. If you haven't had the chance to pick it up yet, now is the perfect time! We wanted to take…

I'm beyond excited to write this announcement, even if the launch of my previous game, Nauticrawl, almost feels like yesterday, the development of this re-imagined VR-exclusive has felt like a completely different journey from the very start. One of the hardes…

Hello everyone! It's been a while since the last update, which doesn't mean I haven't been cooking up some new things. I have! I'm just not quite ready to talk about them yet. In the interim, though, there have been some requests for additional languages and I…

I've been thinking a lot about the importance of community lately and not just because we've been asked to remain so far apart in recent months. I'm fortunate enough to have communities developing around each of my active projects (Nauticrawl and Clayxels), bo…

It’s been a little while since I’ve dropped by with an update and what better way to return to it than with news like this? Nauticrawl has received an Honorable Mention from the Independent Games Festival for Excellence in Design. Though it may sound cliche, i…

Ahoy to everyone who’s been waiting for the best moment to jump on our highly pressurized and mysterious Nauticrawl! This might very well be it, Nauticrawl will be cruising through our biggest sale yet, and that’s not all of it. Our very own set of Steam Tradi…

I’m so happy to share this news, Nauticrawl has a game-design Deep Dive post on Gamasutra! If you’re not familiar with Gamasutra’s series of Deep Dives (admittedly, that’s the most fitting name that could have ever hosted anything related to Nauticrawl!), here…

Earlier this October I was scheduled to participate in the Roguelike Celebration Day by giving a talk on the game-design iterations that went into Nauticrawl. Though I couldn't be there in person, the organizers were kind enough to let me send them a recording…

Ave, Citizens! As October sweeps onto the calendar, like a crowd of yokels breaking into a condemned theme park, the barrier between the human world and that of the Romans grows thin. With a rustle of laurel the veil is parted, and I, Ghoastus, manifest among …

Hi everyone, we’re back with some more exciting IndieCade news! Nauticrawl has ALSO been nominated for IndieCade Europe. Since I (Andrea, developer… hi) live in Italy, I’ll be able to hop over to Paris for this one to man the booth myself. Yay! Here’s the rece…

We’re excited and humbled to announce that Nauticrawl has been nominated for the US IndieCade festival. It’s a cliche to say that it’s an honor just to be nominated but really there’s no more fitting way to put it than that. Nauticrawl is in almost every way a…

Reviews have a bigger impact on the success of an indie title that most players realize. Having reviews on your page sends out a signal that others are playing it. This is often the thing players wait to see before picking up a lesser known indie title. Certai…

You’re on a hostile alien planet, in a machine you don’t know how to work. You’ve jumped into this device in a desperate bid for safety, wanted for crimes unknown, with the cops at your heels. The actions of the entities outside (yep, definit…

Howdy folks, we’ll keep this one short because, well, there’s TWO whole pages filled with Nauticrawl curiosities now available in the latest issue of Wireframe Magazine! In this solo-dev spotlight, Andrea goes back to the very beginning of the project and tell…

After roughly 2 years, launch day is nearly upon us and on September 16th I will finally get to share Nauticrawl with you all. This moment for me is one of nervous excitement. Of exhaustion and anticipation. As I look back on making this game, I realize the ro…
