Hi there. What happened? I messed up with my SSD with the project before making a backup. Data recovery specialists can't help so far. So my best approach now is to redo the Demo project, some coding, levels, and so on. But I don't need to do it from scratch. There why.


Total Gravity started as first my real try to make a playable game in the summer of 2021. You can still play this boring version on https://oleksiykobozev.itch.io/total-gravity.

As you can see it lacked good gameplay feedback, robust in control and progression in addition to terrible visuals, missing sounds, and so on. After receiving feedback from friends, I decided to develop this prototype into a mobile game.

At the end of 2021, I was even able to publish it on the App Store (the game is currently unavailable) and make several updates based on analytics and feedback.

Unfortunately, analytics showed that to make a profit after buying advertising for the game, I need to add an incredible amount of advertising and a "paywall". And that's not why I love games. That was the last time when I did a backup properly.

While I was thinking about how to improve the game, on February 24, 2022, a t@rrorist state launched a full-scale military invasion in addition to an already ongoing hybrid war. Games have become irrelevant.

I'm got lucky. My family is safe. So far I can continue to do what I can do best. In the autumn of 2023, I decided to make my dream about the game keep going. My next step was to redo Total Gravity in the Desktop game. I am almost done Demo. This is what it looked like in December of 2023.

But as I wrote previously -- I messed up project files.

I've already started to redo the demo. It's a good opportunity for "code refactoring". Add Total Gravity to Wishlist so don't miss the demo and full game release. Best regards.
