New year, new name

This update took a bit longer than intended, but there was a reason for it (apart from just taking a break over Christmas). Well… Dragon Fodder is no more!

dramatic pause

Yeah. As it turns out, out of all the names I could have picked for the game, I went with one that was already taken. Even though I researched the name before committing to it a year ago, I missed a point-and-click adventure currently in development under the same name. And, as it turns out, the developer of that game has the name trademarked.

Fortunately, this happened early enough that it doesn’t really interfere with everything planned for 2026 (and there’s a lot!). So the team at Indieformer and I decided to treat this as an opportunity rather than a problem. We brainstormed a new title that fits the game and will hopefully avoid any similar issues in the future.

So, for the first time ever, this is Feed the Scorchpot, our dragon-feeding roguelite!

I’m very lucky that my wife is such a talented artist. She made the new art in record time, and I love how it looks.
