Still Moving Forward — A Snakes with Fists Dev Update

Game development is rarely a straight line — especially when you’re building a game solo. Life has thrown a few curveballs lately, which has caused some small delays, but I want to be clear about one thing: Snakes with Fists is still moving forward. Every week, I’m carving out time to work on the game and push it closer to where it needs to be.

What’s exciting is how much the demo has evolved during that time. What started as a playable concept has grown into a far more polished gaming experience. Combat feels tighter, systems are more connected, and the overall flow of the game is really starting to click. I’ve finally found a stride that balances real life and development — and it’s making a real difference.

Right now, the Snakes with Fists demo is on track for a summer release, pending some final playtesting, tuning, and polish. I’m taking extra care here because first impressions matter, and I want the demo to represent the best version of the game possible when players get their hands on it.

As we get closer to release, I’ll also be looking to partner with indie-game-positive creators and influencers who love weird, fun, retro-inspired games. If you’re a creator who enjoys beat ’em ups — or if you know someone who might be a good fit — I’d love to hear from you. I’ll also be opening up opportunities for a small group of players to try the demo pre-release and share feedback.

If you’re interested in playing early or helping spread the word, feel free to reach out through our social channels — I’d genuinely love to connect.

Thanks for sticking with me on this journey. Progress may not always be fast, but it’s steady — and fists are still flying.
