Hello, I\u2019m Draelent<\/strong>, solo game dev and composer. I try to make interesting games with original soundtracks. I’m currently finishing The Board is Yours<\/strong>, my first commercial release on Steam, and building Valehands<\/strong>, my next game. For business inquiries, you can contact me on draelent dot pro at gmail if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I participated in plenty of game jams and developed over 30 small games <\/strong>you can play for free <\/em>on my itch.io.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Board is Yours<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It looks like chess<\/mark><\/strong>, it feels like an idle <\/mark><\/strong>game, but it plays like: “How do I even optimize <\/mark><\/strong>this?<\/em>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PC<\/strong> – Release: Q2 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Board is Yours<\/a><\/strong><\/mark> is a strategic chess-based incremental game: buy squares, unlock upgrades, and chain synergies through defended pieces. It plays as a demanding idle game where you\u2019ll constantly reposition pieces and optimize your production until the board belongs to you. Forget upgrades that give 5% here and 10% there, this new take on incremental games forces you to actually think<\/strong> <\/mark>about the perks you buy and adapt<\/mark><\/strong> how you play in consequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valehands <\/strong>(ex-Lumberite)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An incremental builder about quiet work and a world coming alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PC<\/strong> – Release: Q3 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valehands<\/strong><\/mark> is a cozy incremental where you guide tiny crews through a satisfying daily rhythm. Recruit, build, discover, upgrade, and watch the world come alive. Set goals for the day, secure what you can before night, and accept that not everything finishes today. That’s fine, nothing is wasted: reuse what remains, keep pushing and watch tomorrow go further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feel free to play the prologue called Lumberite<\/a> to have a first look at the game!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Untitled <\/strong>(Incremental 3 Second dungeon)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A semi-active incremental crawler where you are given 3 seconds in each room to explore a dungeon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PC<\/strong> – Release: Q4 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Untitled \u2013<\/strong><\/mark> Incremental 3 Second dungeon)<\/strong><\/mark> is a semi-active incremental crawler where you have 3 seconds to clear each floor. Make sharp decisions, clear the room, and loot what you can. Between runs, invest in permanent upgrades to bend the odds in your favor. Push into deeper floors with elites and bosses that will test your timing and your build. Runs are lightning-fast, but progress stacks, so get ready to sharpen your execution and spend your hard-earned resources. And keep descending, three seconds at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
