Greedland: A Dev’s Tribute to Classic Arcade Chaos

The game is finally out! Took me—wait, let me count—1,460 days, which sounds crazy now that I think about it. Oh, hey! I’m VaMP He, and my baby, Greedland, just went live on Xbox Series X|S. Fun fact, you can grab it now at a 20% discount. Trust me, the chaos in it is intentional.

Now, survival might seem easy, but let’s just dive right in. Like, weapon combos are a thing—you know, pair that “Plasma Disc” with “Frost Mutation,” and you’ll see those mutants turning into glass art. Not really, but you get the idea. Also, if you thought shooting was everything, news flash—dodging is your new best friend. Upgrade your moves early; you’ll thank me later.

Oh, co-op mode is a blast. Literally. Strategize with a buddy; one distracts, the other obliterates. Sometimes feels like you need an extra brain, but hey, that’s gaming life, right?

Okay, so flashback time—90s kid here who probably spent more afternoons than I should have at internet cafes. Counter-Strike, Red Alert, all those goodies. But, Alien Shooter—that was my jam. Played it a million times, no kidding. Wait, was it really Alien Shooter? Turns out it was Crimsonland! Life’s full of little revelations like that. That’s where the magic of endless waves and quirky weapons hooked me. Fast forward, I spent years making mobile games—not my scene. I needed old-school magic, and thus, Greedland!

The honest truth? Making this game was a rollercoaster. Started in 2021, inspired by Black Myth: Wukong. The demo exploded online—streamers loved it! But I had major setbacks: quit my job, new office, funding vanished. Sounds dramatic, huh? My wife was my rock, real MVP. Picture this: coding with a baby in one arm, bottle in the other. Talk about multitasking!

Game’s here on Xbox now, and if I can say, it’s like reliving the arcade days. Dive in, and let Greedland swallow your Xbox. You’ll see what I mean.
