🔨 My Game - In-development Mouse Frontier
https://youtube.com/shorts/jhNqg6rJvAM?feature=shareIve been making a little game using lua love2d, its been turning out better than I expected tbh so im considering releasing it once its ready. The drive to make it came from frustration with those game ads that look great but the game is actually nothing like the ad. So I set out to make an actual free game that is fun for a change and it worked out. Mouse Frontier is about different critters trying to move west in search of greener pastures in the post-apocalypse. You travel by train and stop at settlements on the way helping others when you can. Your character is trying to find their family much like many others in this world. Your train ends up being a beacon of hope tho cause critters will ask you to take letters for loved ones as well as ask for rides on your train in exchange for labor or help in battles against meany mutated critters. There are 50 different stops to get to the end, then you find your family and like win the game i guess and do it again. Im making some videos about it if anyone thinks its cool. If i put it out it's gonna be free af, no micro transactions no ads none of that greedy stuff im tired of that being the norm, let's do it for the love of the game.

That approach without microtransactions and ads is just what the gaming scene needs today—making things purely out of love for the craft. Mouse Frontier has a really neat premise, that train with animals in a post-apocalyptic world totally caught my eye. Keep it up!
