ONE YEAR OF IGUANA MERCENARY

10/8/2020

Hey everyone!

Even though Iguana Mercenary works and exists longer, we've recently passed one year of Iguana Mercenary activity, starting from 'Market Dominion' in August 2019. A full year has passed, and we've done some great things, together with our fans. But... what has happened in the past year, for all of us?

MARKET DOMINION: BOARD EDITION

DEV MINUTES #23 - Sierra Nevada

1/8/2020

Hello everyone! Today we will talk about the upcoming game 'Sierra Nevada' and its mechanics. The goal of those dev mintues will be to introduce players to the idea of the game.

'Sierra Nevada' is a video game set up during gold rush times, in western United States. The player's goal is to venture into the wilderness and settle a town, which he'll have to lead to prosperity and growth. Based around gold mining, the town will have to survive and attract more people and miners. Lead the town and grow it significantly!
'Sierra Nevada' is supposed to be a simple game, with simple mechanics and solutions. It's supposed to be your everyday indie game, where you can play a short 20 minutes game and finish your game easily. It is definitely simple, easy to learn and has some interesting mechanics! We'll talk about some of them right now.

BETA Testers nEEDED!

15/7/2020

Hello everyone!

Recently we have posted a little update on Twitter, together with this image (visible on the right). We've promised to deliver more information later. 'Later' means today!

We are working on a new app and we need people for beta testing. Beta testing will start on 27th July and will continue for two weeks. We will need several people for that, so we're searching for anyone who is interested!
It is simple, to join the talks about beta testing, just fill in that little form:
forms.gle/t6bZ1YmbCKoAjAXY8
That way, we will be able to know more about you and how we can work with you to provide the best environment for beta testing.
We hope that many people will be interested in such an event. We are waiting for your submissions!

Also, I'd like to announce that this project is created in a collaboration with a completely fresh game developer: Miles, also known by his nickname 'Hello!'. While Iguana Mercenary developers are away, he is the main programmer and works on the upcoming project. I'd like to thank him for his effort!

That would be it for today, thank you for reading!

VIDEO GAMES REALITY - SURVEY

5/7/2020

Hello everyone!

In the most recent days we've conducted a survey about the current reality of the video games market and the clients expectations in that field. We've asked over 150 people about various aspects, that small game development studios might find useful to find themselves a greater audience. Below we're posting very general results of the most important parts of the survey.

SEX
In the survey, it came out that 82,4% of video games players are male, while 17,6% are females.

AGE
The age varied slightly in various categories, however there is a very big audience of younger people. It came out as a result, that the overwhelming majority of players is under 26 years old (92.4%). The remaining 7.6% is older. In the group under 26 years old, there are more older people (aged above 18 years old), however the difference isn't as visible as with the previous split of results.

'FIGURAMA' is now released!

28/4/2020

Hello everyone!
Iguana Mercenary dev here!

I would like to announce, that we have created a new sub-team of Iguana Mercenary called Polarus and that the team has created its first game! The game was a part of a week challenge, where we challenged ourselves to create a game totally from scratch and on our own within a week. We succeeded - and while it might not be the best creation, it was still a fun experiment and we would like to invite you to play!

Current Projects status

15/4/2020

Hello everyone!
We will be discussing several matters for Iguana Mercenary, especially for further work.

Even though the situation outside is.. different - we are still busy people. One of the developers is just moving out, and the other one works on a special project with another developer closely related to the team.
Therefore - our current projects do not receive enough attention.
DLCs of Market Dominion and their development are put on hold until further notice.
So is the UI Update for Market Dominion, which - recently has seen some progress, but isn't the main concern of developers right now.
Like we said: one of us is busy moving to a new place and another one is focusing on something new - but don't worry!

Once we are done, we will share our new project with you.
Stay tuned and wait for the big projects!
