Releasing My First Steam Game: Idle Grid – A New Incremental with Grid-Based Strategy

Hey everyone! I’m incredibly excited (and a little nervous) to share that I’m releasing my first-ever game on Steam, Idle Grid. It’s an incremental/idle game with a unique twist: instead of just buying upgrades, you arrange them on a grid to optimize adjacency and resource flow. I’ve poured a lot of time and passion into creating a game that combines the classic idle experience with a bit of puzzle-like strategy. I’ve always had a goal to finally focus on a single game and hit the release button, soon this dream of avoid scope creep will be fulfilled.

Key Features:

• Grid Placement Mechanics: Placing your upgrades matters—adjacent bonuses and tile synergy add a new layer of challenge.
• Smooth Progression: Unlock new buildings, mechanics, and upgrades as you progress, ensuring the game stays engaging over time.
• Accessible Design: A clean interface and straightforward mechanics make it easy to jump in, whether you’re new to incrementals or a genre veteran.

Plans for Ongoing Updates:
I plan to keep Idle Grid fresh with monthly updates for a long time—introducing new content, balance changes, more creative building types, and unique synergies. I’m also committed to refining the UI and continuously improving the game based on player feedback. My goal is to maintain an active dialogue with the community, so if you have any suggestions or ideas, I’d love to hear them!

I’m aiming for a release date very soon, and in the meantime, I’d be grateful if you could wishlist the game if it catches your interest. Wishlists mean a lot to a first-time indie dev like me, and your feedback would be invaluable for improving the final version!

Thank you so much for your time, and please let me know what you think! I’m always happy to answer questions or hear any suggestions you might have. Looking forward to sharing Idle Grid with you all.
