Same World, Different Game

[dynamiclink href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/2434600/ShantyTown/"]To those who don't know, I am a solo-developer, and for the past few years I've been working on a type of spin-off of Kainga's world in my new game, ShantyTown.

How's Kainga?

I did a little update fixing a few things. Like you can now use WASD controls in the Skyloft!

After ShantyTown's launch I'm going to be weighing my options on what to work on next. I may get the community involved in that decision, so check the Discord to get notified when that happens!

Kainga 2? A medieval RPG in the same world? Something else? Let's find out together!

Thanks for your support and care!
