How to market an indie game - Cozy Management Game Devlog #6 - Winterreach Emporium
🎿 Winterreach Emporium Devlog #6 🏔️ Welcome to a devlog for Winterreach Emporium! In this series, we’ll take you behind the scenes as we build our cozy fantasy ski shop management game from the ground up. In this episode, we’ll introduce the project, show off early gameplay, and talk about the systems we’re working on — from stocking magical skis to designing AI customers that browse your shelves, haggle at the counter, and celebrate during winter festivals. Winterreach Emporium blends cozy shopkeeping with deep management mechanics, set in a bustling fantasy ski resort where nobles, goblins, elves, and stranger folk all come looking for the perfect gear. Expect ski racks, enchanted boots, shelf upgrades, staff management, and plenty of dynamic seasonal events as we bring this world to life. 💖 Support Large Lads Studios Patreon – patreon.com/LargeLadsStudios 🎮 Wishlist Winterreach Emporium on Steam store.steampowered.com/app/3942500/Winterreach_Emporium 💬 Join the Community on Discord https://discord.gg/ySp9WUkP #fantasy #gaming #indiedev #dungeonsanddragons #worldbuilding #gamedev #marketing
