It's been a crazy few weeks! My new game I revealed to the world at gamescom is called We Harvest Shadows, a first-person farming horror allegory. Here's the trailer: I released a demo along with the big announcement, and the reaction has been absolutely wonderful. People love it! I really had no idea if people would like it or not, especially from all the lukewarm reactions I got when showing the...

Hello friends, it's been a while! I'm still around believe it or not, and I'm really excited to announce my new game to the world soon. It's very different from The First Tree, but it still shares my love for personal and emotional storytelling in games. Geoff Keighley and Kyle Bosman have invited me to share my game for the ...

Hi everyone, I was invited to the Earth Appreciation Festival sale on Steam, and my game is the cheapest it will ever be, which is 90% off! I'm also broadcasting a pre-recorded stream when I played my whole game from beginning to end and showed off all the easter eggs, so that will be running on loop for the next few days. Watch the stream on the store page, and thanks for your support!

OK, time to do this. I’ve been meaning to do a big DAVID WEHLE™ update for a while now and explain why I haven’t released a new game yet, but you know how life gets in the way. Especially when life is a quarantine hellscape, you have three beautiful, amazing, exhausting kids to raise, a spouse’s job you support, a viral YouTube channel that turns your brain to mush, a thousand emails waiting in yo...

It finally happened after 2.5 years of work: my online school GAME DEV UNLOCKED hit version 1.0! There is so much content that I can't even type it all up, so I made this sweet sizzle reel of everything: Don't know how to code? No problem. Don't know how to market your game on social media? It's covered. Want to publish your games everywhere including Steam and consoles? You got it. I put my all i...

I made The First Tree without knowing code, while working full-time, and while taking care of a new baby, and somehow the game succeeded financially. I never thought this hobby would take off, and it's thanks to gamers like you. And one of the best parts of this game dev journey has been showing gamers how to get started making their own games and how to market them effectively. That's why I start...

One of the perks of making a B-list, semi-popular indie game is that I get to help a lot of aspiring game designers. I gave a talk recently at the Game Developers Conference, and even though I was nervous wreck beforehand, it was a dream come true to talk about my experiences on how I became a full-time indie dev. After that talk, my inbox exploded again, and after answering the same few questions...
