Greedland: A Dev’s Homage to Classic Arcade Chaos

Hey, so here’s the deal. Greedland just dropped on Xbox Series X|S, with a sweet 20% off too. (Seriously, who doesn’t love a good deal?) Anyway, it took me, VaMP He, a whole four years to make this thing. I mean, who knew I’d even count the days, right? But it’s here, living and breathing, all thanks to my late-night caffeine binges and love for epic gaming chaos. If that’s your thing, go snag it now. Or not. Whatever suits you.

Oh, there’s this pic that just screams "play me!" It’s all flashy and intense. Imagine swimming in this madness.

Alright, so if you wanna own those alien baddies, here’s some insider wisdom straight from the source (ahem, that’s me):

Master the Art of Alien Smashing

First off, you gotta try mixing that "Plasma Disc" with "Frost Mutation". Trust me, frozen mutants cracking open is just… chef’s kiss. Did I say dozens? Yeah, dozen deadly blends waiting for you to just… you know, do your thing.

Get Your Move On

Okay, quick tip: running > shooting in the beginning. There’s nothing like a good sprint to dodge those pesky swarms. Go on, start upgrading those moves!

Double Trouble

Co-op mode is more than double the fun. Seriously, it’s all about teaming up. One keeps ’em busy, the other crushes their weak spot. Total teamwork.

Here’s another action shot for your eyeballs. Man, I love these visuals.

Back to the Nostalgics

Remember the internet cafes? I basically lived in those dens during my teenage years, blowing my allowance on games like CS and Red Alert. But there was this lesser-known gem, Alien Shooter. Endless nights, replaying, obsessing. Found out years later it was actually Crimsonland! Who knew, right? But yeah, those endless waves, quirky weapons… it rewired my brain, I swear. So, after years of creating meh mobile games that sucked the soul outta me, I felt this intense urge to recreate that magic. And, yep, boom, Greedland happened!

The creative journey? Total rollercoaster. Picture a roguelike with all its ups and downs. Back in 2021, just a side gig inspired by Black Myth: Wukong. Then bam! The demo caught fire on streams, hitting over 50,000 wishlists. Suddenly, an investor swoops in. Quit my job, got an office… annnnd then — poof! — funding was gone. Just like that.

Wife to the rescue though, bless her. Between juggling game codes and new-daddy duties (diaper squad!), I revamped the game. And guess what? Over 100k players became my anchor. After launching on PC, the Xbox was next in line.

Greedland isn’t just about play; it’s proof that arcade magic isn’t dead. So go on, feed your Xbox and unleash the pixelated frenzy.

And uh, here’s a visual reminder of what you’re about to dive into. Prepare for total chaos, my friend. Embrace it.
