Thanks to everyone who tried out the Dominova demo and / or wishlisted the game! It was great to see so many of you enjoy the demo!If you haven’t already, please drop a review on the demo page or fill in the feedback form, I always appreciate it when people let me know what they think. :)https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd-MRGTASLC4lJG-CGJQOaDcPLUIWMu5odASr0kG5uzGJUfwA/viewform?usp=headerDominova will release on November 19th, 18:00 CET. This is a full release, no early access. All systems are in place. Everything works as intended, small balancing issues aside. Dominova took me 11 months to make, which I think is a great development cycle for a strategy game. Please do be aware I am a solo dev so on the super rare chance I missed something important, the release date might change. I really don’t think this will happen but you never know.The pricing range will be between $9.99 a…

- Steam Deck + Controller Support - 5 September 2025
Hello everyone,It was time to implement Steam Deck and controller support. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done. Now you can play Dominova while bedrotting.Make sure you go to the Dominova settings > Properties > compatibility and enable Proton.You can move the cursor with the control stick. Select and place dominoes with the A button (south button).Rotate and remove dominoes with the B button (eastern button).You can adjust the control stick sensitivity in the settings. No rebinding (yet, I don't know, it's kind of tricky to do with localization)The game should be completely playable on Steam Deck. I also made some UI tweaks to make sure everything is readable.If you play the game on Steam Deck I'd love to hear your feedback. I don't have a Steam Deck myself so it's hard to check if everything works as it should.Thanks for playing and have a nice day! Glenn
- Gameplay Update + Compendium - 29 August 2025
Hello everyone,The demo is now out for a couple of weeks and I received a lot of feedback. In general I think the game is a little too complex in the basic gameplay. Especially when it comes to domino placement and fitting them all on the board.To fix this issue I tried a different approach where all dominoes can be connected, but if you connect same colored ones you get a base score bonus.This will make it a lot easier to get around the board. You can focus more on Nova cards and getting all the upgrades.To counter balance, the score goals have increased by a lot. You really need Nova cards to get far in a run. Also since it's easier to place dominoes, there are also more obstacles to deal with now.There is also a compendium now that explains some basic stuff about the game. Settings and the nova card collection is placed in there too.I also fixed the Wild Clone Nova card that was prog…

- The Dominova Demo is live! - 7 August 2025
Thanks everyone for being patient for the demo release. As I've said before a lot of quality of live, gameplay tweaks + balancing has been implemented. This is all thanks to the people who either filled in the forms or told me through discord what they wanted to see changed. Also I saw a lot of Youtubers play which instantly showed me what to improve on.The game is a lot more strategic and satisfying to play now compared to the playtest version. I hope you will give it a try!Also remember that Dominova is part of the Tiny Teams Festival 2025.

- Demo release date + Tiny Teams Festival - 2 August 2025
Hello everyone,The Dominova demo will launch on Thursday August 7th, together with the Tiny Teams Festival! With the amount of feedback I've implemented from the playtest I am sure it is a demo you will all enjoy. I am really thrilled to be part of the Tiny Teams festival and being able to showcase the Dominova demo to lots of new players. It's been hard to get into festivals with Dominova, so it was a difficult time to get good exposure. Hopefully the game will perform well. :)Have a nice day! Glenn

- Playtest beta is almost ready - 18 April 2025
Hey everyone! I am currently super busy with getting the first playtest build ready. With this I'll be able to slowly get some feedback from players. The first playtest build will not be open invitation until I know for certain that the game is stable enough to show to the general steam audience. If you want to be one of the first to play you can join the discord and I'll select a few players every few days. Discord link: https://discord.gg/jzZXWm36X8 If you haven't already, please wishlist the game if you are interested. It helps out a lot with Steam algorithm visibility. Glenn
