Hello everyone! Levi here, lead developer and designer behind Gappy’s Adventure : Coinkeeper’s Cantrip!

It feels so surreal to FINALLY be officially announcing and talking about this game to the public in a major way simply because it feels like I’ve been working on it forever! And I really haven’t shown much off about it because it’s always a bit more fun to hide your hand ;)

Since you’re here PLEASE consider wishlisting the game! However much you think wishlisting an indie game helps, double it! And also to plug one last thing before moving on I’d recommend joining the discord server[discord.gg]! I have a million other links but I don’t feel like shilling more than I already am, there are more links to other cool things in the server and you’ll be able to chat with me and other Gappy-heads alike! What fun!

ANYWAYS! This is also the first volume of ‘Gappy Bi-monthly!’ A bi-monthly update / Preveiw of the games development, features, plans, and other fun stuff! Since a large majority of you may be confused about what the plans moving forward are, or what this game even IS I’ve decided to dedicate this volume to answering what I feel are some important questions, while also pointing you towards the first PUBLIC DEMO(s) of the game! So let’s get right into it! :D


First and foremost, an early demo of the game is available! It’s playable in browser on both Newgrounds and Itch.io! Both (should) be fully compatible with controllers!

Originally, the plan was to not only release the steam page today, but also release demos on Newgrounds[www.newgrounds.com], https://leviramirezng.itch.io/gappys-adventure-coinkeepers-cantrip-demo AND Steam

However, due to how Steam handles demos, we be wasting a significant marketing opportunity releasing that now, and wouldn’t get the full traction from a later release since this demo and the games full release are spread VERY far apart. If this sounds confusing, that’s because it is!

To put it bluntly, we decided not to release a “Steam Demo” today because we didn’t want to upset the algorithm! I know! We’re sell-outs!

BUT! When that steam demo eventually comes out, it’ll be an updated version of the current demos, and those demos too will also get updated! Any feedback you have for us now could be invaluable in shaping the future of Gappy. So stay tuned for that as we patiently await the release of the FULL game!

So with you properly pointed in the right direction, let’s wrap er’ up with some questions!


Q : When will this release?

A : Goal is 4th quarter 2026! But things are bound to change (game development is not my full time job, it’s my 2nd!)

Q : How much will it cost?

A : 4.99!

Q: Content Updates? DLC?

A : The game will release fully featured upon release, and there are no plans to release DLC or major content updates as of right now. My goal is to release a game that is 100% complete on day 1!

Q : Regular updates? Patches?

A : This is tricky. Of course, if there are any major game breaking bugs or crashes or other technical failures then those will be subject to change and be fixed! However, with Gappy's main draw being it's movement and subsequent 'quirks' I would like to keep Gappy feeling the same 5 years from now as he will on release day. Fun glitches, quirks and tricks will NOT be patched without SERIOUS consideration.

Q: Will Gappy ever turn brown?

A : what

Q : Where is the best place to keep updated on the game?

A : I'd highly recommend following on Twitter and joining the discord! I'll be posting there about the game often and will even post links to these when they get posted!


I hope you all are excited to go on an adventure with Gappy in the near future! Again, if you'd like to get a taste of what's to come Please go check out the demo on Newgrounds! [www.newgrounds.com]

I'd also like to give a huge thanks to 2 Left Thumbs for publishing! I'm excited to partner with them on this game and perchance more games in the future! And also thank you to the ever so wonderful and talented Pollyanoid![x.com] for making the little cover art for today's Gappy Monthly!

Til' next time! Later!
