Great concept. As a potential player and someone very interested in your game, I wish for 2 things ; 1- we can link our sport watch and add the walking distance from it 2- I'm a runner and hope for a challenging experience, like defeat a boss in 5-10k run, etc. (I'll definitely be enjoying the 200 steps tasks as well though! 😊) Keep it up folks!
I was just talking about something like this the other day... You guys have the potential to be something really special. Glad I saw this on the recommended feed. I'm ready to get into the pre-game for an MMO launch. This really doesn't happen often, and this is the first time I was able to hear about something before it happened! /me smashing that login button
Thank you! We've noticed that in addition to encouraging being active, this game also works very nicely for people who are now busy with their adult lives. Not enough time to sink into MMOs, but still crave for that experience. This is why we also don't want to simplify the game too much - we want there to be enough depth for people who like MMOs to be satisfied with. The game starts off quite simple and you can only focus on some parts of it, so I feel like it works great for both people who only want a simple game to encourage them to walk more, and for those who want a great RPG experience.
Been following progress on Reddit and it’s awesome to finally see Walkscape in action. I’m so looking forward to leveling up while I run around the restaurant, I swear I walk a few miles every shift! Keep up the hard work!
Amazing!! I've been searching for and wanting a game like this for ages! It really seems like you put the effort into creating mechanics common in RPGs for a fitness mobile game, reflecting a game that respects what people would want from that, if that makes sense. Cannot wait to follow the development and finally be able to motivate myself the way I know will work!!
Thank you so much! And you're really on point here with our design. We've been trying to design everything in the game to respect our players, and so that everything there actually works to motivate the main aspect: walking. I think this is the key for having a great fitness game. Also, I don't feel like there are any fitness games that have enough in-depth mechanics that would keep me interested for long. I feel like being RPG with open world, NPCs and great progression is crucial to have people interested in the game for long. Which naturally means that people start building a longer-term healthy habit of walking, than being interested just for one week and then stopping.
100% will be installed on my phone. Great pixel art! I'm currently in my second class in my CS degree and I hope to one day make games with pixel art as good as this!
Definitely looking forward to this project being completed. The scale of just “the bones” being shown leaves so much promise for a beautiful world to explore. I am HYPED
Thank you! Everything we've been building so far has been done by making sure its scalable. That's part of the reason it's been slower process to get the closed beta launched, but I think in the long term players will be very happy that we can easily add more content & features to the game.
@@WalkScaper I believe long term is a better target than a short term crappy product. Too many huge games that could've been great lately have busted because the initial reception wasn't...well received due to an unfinished product. Hell, it took No Man's Sky 5 years to have a comeback story.
Thanks! We try to keep it clean and easy to get into, while also providing more depth for those who want it, but kinda keeping a lot of it optional. And I'll tell that you like the art to maxchill, I've been praising his art a lot already :D
Thanks, I am also a huge fan of our artist, maxchill. I really love that a lot of the items have a sort of unique twist to them, and it makes the game look very cozy. And the NPCs, building interiors and the map look awesome 🤩
I love this idea! The UI could hone in on the 'pixel art game' theme more though. At the moment the clean, modern website/app aesthetic feels like it doesn't compliment the game.
Thankfully, we're finally feeling like the game is getting really close to something we can confidently release. So not too long until we have something for people to try out!
Been following your posts on Reddit, I'm really looking forward to the release! Will running be supported? I often run with a Garmin Venu SQ watch and would love to combine my running & gaming hobbies with WalkScape :)
Running is supported if you have your phone with you while you run. It also results in slightly faster progress, as you gain steps more quickly while running! :D We will add watch support later on as well.
Thank you! I'm also (kinda) studying Computer Science in the university. But I had to delay my university studies for now as I'm working on this full time
Yes! Watch support for both Apple Health connected watches and Google Fit is planned. We first want to test out the most bare bones way of step counting throughoutly, and then expand to watches.
This looks pretty cool, but I am mainly concerned about battery usage. MH Now eats a chunk of my battery every day, approximately 15-20% if its always opened in the background and I play a lot. How is it with your game?
I only heard about this game recently but my 30 yo gamer's heart is totally seduced. I can already imagine myself enjoying this game in the future, grouping with other walkers and offering few of my own steps to "push" one of my mate struggling with his pedometer so we can all reach the top of some mighty mountain. Please stay passionate and keep up this good work !
I was wondering if each ingame name can only be used by 1 player, or if several other players could have the same name? (With like a different identificator in the future)
The game has an offline game mode as well, which we call Ironman mode. For online mode, the payment is affordable monthly subscription, but offline mode is single purchase. Both modes can be tried out for free so you'll know if you like the game or not before needing to pay anything. Offline mode does support cloud saving though, if you happen to have internet connection at some point. So you won't lose your progress if your phone breaks or something. The game is made with my own game engine that I built for the game. I've built the engine over Flutter's rendering engine. Flutter is open source, so there shouldn't be anything like what happened with Unity recently happening to this game.
All the mobile games are micro-transaction/gacha/no skill trash. For years a have not found a decent game to play on mobile, i had given up, untill i saw this. Im genuinely exited for this game for 2 reasons; One its not micro-transaction/gacha trash and two walking is a big part of my life. I dont like to run you see, so for fitness i walk instead but i feel guilty of just walking instead of running, so to make up for it i walk 3 times the distance i would run, that way it balance out. I walk 6km the days i work and 12km on weekends, needless to say im going to progress in this game really fast. I CANT WAIT FOR THIS TO COME OUT!
As a delivery man, i expect to max this game within a months work.
Looks cool, i will be waiting.
Very excited to see this on release!

Keep it up folks!
theres an achievement made by walking 30k steps in one day! And im sure they will add more and harder achievements
I would love the watch link to be possible.
Watches are currently not supported
Dope ideas!!

This is great. I don't have the time to sink into RS anymore, but I definitely still walk - this is going to be sick!
Thank you!

The game idea is amazing! Thanks to the algorithm for showing this on my feed, really looking forward to trying it out!

I have been supporting this game and have been following it with high expectations. Can’t wait for the closed-beta!
Thank you so much for supporting us!
Yes, please let's go! So hyped for this - signed up. Joining discord!

Saw your post on Reddit. Really neat idea. I will be following this closely.
Excited for the open beta next year, saw your post a long while back on the incremental subreddit. Good Luck!
Thank you! Nice to see more people from incremental_games here
I also found them there! Super pumped to see the progress.
Greetings from Brazil, cant wait to play your game!
This looks very interesting! It's my first time seeing and hearing about this and I will certainly follow this from here on out!
What a cool game
100% will be installed on my phone. Great pixel art! I'm currently in my second class in my CS degree and I hope to one day make games with pixel art as good as this!
Can't wait to play this. HYPED!
Don't think I'll play this myself but I like the idea. The art style and music look good. I wish you guys luck on this project!
Real excited for this
Cant wait to use the app!
I have nothing to say. Just commenting to help you guys. This looks very good.
Great job on the video! Looking forward to the beta
I hyped for release
Wow I need this!
Definitely looking forward to this project being completed. The scale of just “the bones” being shown leaves so much promise for a beautiful world to explore. I am HYPED

The pixel art looks amazing; cant wait to play!
Thank you! I'll tell maxchill, our artist, to look over these comments. I love his pixel art style as well :D
Looks interesting!
Love indie game pixel style like this ❤
I love it ! Great job for you both, the game look really fun to play and not heavy like others with the same mechanics and the art is beautiful 😍
Thanks! We try to keep it clean and easy to get into, while also providing more depth for those who want it, but kinda keeping a lot of it optional. And I'll tell that you like the art to maxchill, I've been praising his art a lot already :D

i love the art. am exited to see the game grow.
Thanks, I am also a huge fan of our artist, maxchill. I really love that a lot of the items have a sort of unique twist to them, and it makes the game look very cozy. And the NPCs, building interiors and the map look awesome 🤩
Just leaving a comment for the algorithm
This is gonna be a tight app, great idea!
I love this idea! The UI could hone in on the 'pixel art game' theme more though. At the moment the clean, modern website/app aesthetic feels like it doesn't compliment the game.
Can't stress enough how exciting this concept is though!
Keep up the great work team! Super excited to play :D
Thankfully, we're finally feeling like the game is getting really close to something we can confidently release. So not too long until we have something for people to try out!
Yesterday I finally got access to the closed beta by supporting with 3€ and I love it. Makes me happy to support an amazing project!
Been following your posts on Reddit, I'm really looking forward to the release!
Will running be supported? I often run with a Garmin Venu SQ watch and would love to combine my running & gaming hobbies with WalkScape :)

We will add watch support later on as well.
As a game programming student, I think this is super cool!
Thank you! I'm also (kinda) studying Computer Science in the university. But I had to delay my university studies for now as I'm working on this full time
Maybe its time I finally exercise! I reckon this will do the trick
That game looks awesome!
This is awesome, can't wait to try the beta! Any plans for a watch app on iOS? And will steps be tracked whenever, or only when you have the app open?
Yes! Watch support for both Apple Health connected watches and Google Fit is planned. We first want to test out the most bare bones way of step counting throughoutly, and then expand to watches.
@@WalkScaper good stuff! Will follow with interest
Sounds very good 👍👍 as father of 2 kids, this could be fun game for me while i play with my kids out side. 😅👍
La idea es genial en cuanto este disponible lo usaré
will there be guild & pvp ? gvg?
This is intriguing
This looks pretty cool, but I am mainly concerned about battery usage. MH Now eats a chunk of my battery every day, approximately 15-20% if its always opened in the background and I play a lot. How is it with your game?
I Just became a patron when I heard it comes out 18th of January but still don't have access lol I hope soon ❤
Haven't been this hyped for a mobile game since a loooong time ago, can't wait to put my -hands- feet on it! :)
Haha, thank you so much ❤️
Will this link to Strava?
I only heard about this game recently but my 30 yo gamer's heart is totally seduced.
I can already imagine myself enjoying this game in the future, grouping with other walkers and offering few of my own steps to "push" one of my mate struggling with his pedometer so we can all reach the top of some mighty mountain.
Please stay passionate and keep up this good work !
Loved the concept congrats
Looks so cool!!!
Welp
I guess i wont stop walking after the game release
I can't wait for the next wave of Early Access! Looks so fun
love this
I was wondering if each ingame name can only be used by 1 player, or if several other players could have the same name?
(With like a different identificator in the future)
will there be a wipe after closed beta?
Yep
Amazing!!!
Do I need to have a permanent internet connection while walking? And also, was this game made with Unity?

Can I link my Amazfit watch? Love the idea. I walk already but this will give me that extra push on days when I don't feel like it.
Watches are currently not supported
Can’t wait to give you my money for this
I'm gonna run 20 miles a day!
Sound really cool!
Looks great!
Can you jog or run to grind?
Yeah!
I'm already in queue to be an irl bot for this game.
Ciekawa gra😊
