Greedland: A Developer’s Tribute to Classic Arcade Chaos

Alright, let’s dive into this messy ramble. So, here we go—I’ve been holed up, seriously, for like 1,460 days working on this wild ride called Greedland. Just touchin’ down on Xbox Series X|S and—ha, believe it or not—there’s a sweet little 20% off deal sneaking in there. Yeah, I’m VaMP He, in case you were wondering who’s yammering. This game’s basically for those who revel in heaps of flashy chaos. Isn’t that all of us, at some point?

So, picture this—I’m talking alien-smashing tactics. It’s more like a dance than a fight, really. You take the “Plasma Disc” and match it with “Frost Mutation”—and suddenly, boom, you’ve got mutants breaking apart like glass sculptures. Tactics? Sure, if you’re into that. Oh, and about moving. Honestly, dodging’s like half the fight—or maybe all? I dunno, just move around a lot. Grab those movement upgrades, and you’re off on some wild foot-chase with aliens.

And don’t let me forget—bring a buddy! Co-op’s where you double the madness. Imagine one of you lures the big bads, the other’s striking the soft bits. It just works; trust me.

A quick rewind to my roots—those crazy days spent sneaking into internet cafes in the ’90s (pocket money well-spent!). Me and my pals crowded around ancient PCs, getting lost in Counter-Strike and Red Alert. But Alien Shooter? Oh, that’s the stuff of my dreams. Played it on loop like it was some kind of lifeline. And the thrill kinda stuck with me. That’s why I jumped into game dev. Trying to feed that old arcade addiction.

Oh, almost forgot—the journey of making Greedland? Absolute rollercoaster. Started in my spare time after Black Myth’s showcase blew everyone away. Demo caught fire with streamers—somehow—leading to over 50,000 wishlist adds. Investors came knocking, so I gambled. Quit my steady job, rented a place, and… funds vanished into thin air. Yep, stress city. But my wife? Absolute rock—kept me grounded while we balanced newborn chaos. Who’d think diaper duty could go hand in hand with game-building?

Yeah, so, Greedland’s more than just pixels and code. It’s a love letter to that old magic from dark arcades, ready to wreak havoc on your Xbox. Get ready to dive in and maybe—hopefully—lose track of time, just like in the good ol’ days.
