The Hobo Dev

One coin. One name. Forever.It's raining. You're in a back street you probably shouldn't be in.There's a man standing there.Stay a bit... don't be afraid.Five minutesThat's how long this takes, and it isn't pretending otherwise.No combat. No puzzles. Nothing to fail.Just listen to this strange man.Relax, there's a fire to stand near. A radio you can turn on. A stool, if you'd rather sit.One wall is covered floor to ceiling in post-it notes — a name on every square.The man hands you a pen.Your name will go up, with a number that belongs to nobody else.Why it costs a coinI'm a solo developer, and I'm building a bigger game called SCRAWLERZ.This is a way I'm paying for it — one coin at a time, from people who stopped.The wall is the receipt.The small printYour name stays on the wall for as long as you own a game copy in your library.If enough people stop, this might end up as the longest list of names on Steam....But that part isn't up to me.
