About
Goldshoe Games is a small group largely made up of a single designer and developer along with a handful or regulars that help provide art, music, brainstorming, and testing.
We currently have one published game, a short turn-based rogue-like called Lamplight. It is available for free on Android and Windows.
We’re currently working on our next project, a 2D exploration + action shooter called Sanguinite.
We’ll make periodic development updates on Sanguinite through the blog, along with other news and tech talk. Join the discord server to get more frequent updates and make suggestions!
