With Early Access around the corner it's time to make the store page live and move my activity from the Greenlight page to the store page. Welcome to Samphi.
The store page gives a good description of the game so I won’t repeat myself here, let’s just get right into things.
The PR campaign for Samphi has started! That’s a terrifying thought because it means the game is absolutely coming out on the 18th of March! I first started working on Samphi ~4 years ago and would have never imagined it would be available through Steam, and now that’s only three weeks away!
If you like the look of the game you can help me out by spreading the word. :D Tell everyone!
To correspond with the release of Samphi I’m working on getting a new site built and live. The current site was intended to be a temporary place holder but has been around for ages! Development of the new site is going pretty good, and It’ll certainly be ready to launch.
Samphi has both downloadable maps, and the ability to use custom textures, and I’m unsure where to host these. Do I make a section on the website for them, or do I leave it totally to Steam Workshop. Any feedback on this would be appreciated, so let me know.
I covered this in my last update on the greenlight page, but it will do no harm to reiterate it here for the new audience. I use Trello to manage my Joblist on Samphi, and it’s public so anyone can see it. The goal is that once a community *hopefully* develops, you can vote on which jobs you’d like to see complete first, and even post suggestions there yourself.
My Trello board lives here, so if you have an interest in following Samphi’s development that’s a great way to see what’s currently happening with the game.
I’ve been making lots of resources lately for press releases and such, and extended my efforts to making myself a wallpaper. I’d like to make that available for people should they want it, so at the link below you’ll find a 1920 * 1080 Samphi wallpaper. Let me know if you like/use it!

While I’m here I may as well take a second to promote the sale my book is in. I recently wrote Procedural Content Generation for C++ Game Development and its currently half-price in a game development sale Packt are running. If that’s your thing now’s the time to grab a copy. :)
