MASSIVE GAME DEV NEWS FEBRUARY 27 2026

- Read article -


Alright, so we gonna have to separate the subjects by category for explaining everything as clear as possible...

Intro

Like I said before, my games website is online and all my C3 games are playable there too www.littleindiegames.com

However, I need very soon to make it a bit profitable for personnal IRL situations.

So, I plan to advertise it on YouTube Shorts and etc, but this is planned after specific games get released.

New games on February 2026

Two games were released on February 2026:

  • Glocktopus Attack

  • Armed Cars Arena

Two games planned to be released on March 2026

  • Fortress Battle (planned for next week)

  • My Little Cat: Battle for Catland (finally lol)

New game dev priority + Budget 2026 + cancelled games

For 2026, I will start "trying" to make more money with my games since the fees are getting higher to cover:

  • Construct 3 Personnal annual plan

  • Photoshop Monthly plan

  • Audiio Annual plan

  • Clip Studio Paint annual plan

  • Web hosting services annual fees

  • Web domain annual fees

  • Etc

So, I need to find a way to cover a bit of them with my website. How? By voluntary tips on my Ko-fi + ads system planned in a near future (this is not Google ads my main choice, don't worry ^^).

To convince people to invest in my game dev journey, they need games they WANT to play and NOT FORCED to play.

"Gamers want games delivered as they expect to fight boredom, to generate boredom" - pikawilliam11

So, I must prioritise some exclusive games (no focus on tribute games, deja vu games, overused trend games).

That's why the following games are CANCELLED:

  • The Blood Doctor (initially announced in 2023 something like that)

  • Metro Driver 2D

  • Hugs Me

  • Brobomb The Battlefield

  • Agent Never Gonna Give You Up

  • What A Pianotastic Day

  • Balling In The Castle World

  • Elevator Raid

New target for games 2026

Gamers love exclusive games when seeing Playstation and Xbox players asking them for their respective game consoles. So, I must follow it to fullfill their needs.

To make it happens, I need bigger games, and I will deliver somes.

A 3D game is in pre-production, in fact.

Also, online multiplayer games are also in the laboratory testing. However, not ready before 2027 since the whole online structure of Construct 3 changed and the code must be changed.

What to expect in 2026?

In summary, the following months gonna be a bit slower in new game releases since I will do R&D for new games in the category "Exclusives".

From summer 2026, everything should be set for full speed yolo in the game dev (hopefully).

Comstruct 3 will soon be updated for full scale integers option AKA a total perfect fullscreen mode. Once released in stable version, gonna update ALL my games for this fullscreen upgrade.

Before advertising my website...

For the people who played my games since 2023, you will notice that some games have assets generated with Adobe Firefly (AI).

HOWEVER

I already started commissionning some artists for remplacing those AI stuff by hand drawed human artist assets.

For example, the plushies for the game "Carnival Stand: The Game" (no WIP available) were genAI in 2023, but a few months ago I paid an human artist to make them with a cute style that AI cannot reproduce

I have one chance to promote my website without losing my first casual players when the YT Shorts ads will be launched, so I need all the optimal games and no AI assets in my side to have a seat on the game dev journey success.

Don't forget

If you have game request from popular franchise [EASY TO REPRODUCE], I have a game request channel in my community for such demands :D

Thanks for your reading
