Greedland: A Solo Developer’s Tribute to Classic Arcade Chaos

Hey there, fellow gamer! So, buckle up because I’m about to ramble about my game, uh, what was it called again? Oh right, Greedland! Imagine this: after 1,460 days—yep, I counted every single one of those days—I finally unleashed this beast onto Xbox Series X|S. Bonus? There’s a nice little 20% discount happening now. Why? Just because. I’m VaMP He, the man behind this chaos, and I’m here for those who love a screen packed full of epic battles. Grab it while you can!

Picture a time… maybe the early 2000s? I was this youngster, sneaking around local internet cafes. You know the type—where you’d blow your pocket money on getting to play CS or Red Alert? But for me, Alien Shooter was the hidden gem. It hooked me with its simple, addictive fun—just couldn’t shake it. So naturally, when life nudged me into mobile and web games, I knew I needed more. Had to bring back that arcade magic somehow, somewhere.

Anyway, this isn’t just a shallow sales pitch. Oh no, I’ve got pro tips too! Imagine freezing mutants with something like a “Plasma Disc” combo, shattering them like… uh, fragile glass, I guess? Also, if you’re thinking of just standing there and shooting, bad move. Get those movement upgrades to zip around dodging stuff like a pro. And hey, local co-op isn’t just a tick the box deal—it’s legit strategic! Distract and destroy, my friend. Distract and destroy.

Now, the development journey—it’s not all sunshine and rainbows, I promise. There was this one time—right after I ditched my job and rented out an office, mind you—that my investor pulled out. Gone, just like that. So there I was, coding away, juggling bug fixes with baby diaper duties. Life, huh? Could’ve just given up, but nah, I kept pushing, drawing strength from 100,000 demo gamers who probably played for, I dunno, hundreds of hours maybe? They kept me going, no joke.

Greedland’s launch on Xbox is the proof that those arcade roots still hold their ground. It’s like that old dusty magic was just waiting to be dug up again. So if you’re into games with mutants and chaos—yep, endless mutant hordes throwing themselves at you—this might just be your scene. Who would’ve guessed, right? Okay, I’m losing my train of thought. So yeah, just go experience it for yourself. It’s waiting to devour you. I mean, who writes like this? Honestly.

Or maybe it’s just me being overly nostalgic. Whatever. Just give it a shot and see if it hits the sweet spot for you.
