Developing Nightfall Hacker – A hacking game inspired by an old Lego game
I’m not exactly breaking the bank with my Linux sales, so I’ve decided to release Nightfall Hacker on the Snap Store, for free. The Snap Store is pre-installed on Ubuntu (and most derivatives), Manjaro, and several others, and can be installed on other distros. You can install Nightfall Hacker with:
sudo snap install nightfall-hackerI’ve been getting some feedback that it’s not clear where the tutorial is. I’ve made it more obvious by putting the button to launch it right in the introductory message. I didn’t expect to be pushing an update 24 hours after launch, but here I am. It’s live on Steam now.
I didn’t expect it to take a year and a half, but at least I did it. Nightfall Hacker is now available on Steam, with a 20% launch discount for the first week. Go buy it.
I’m happy to say that Nightfall Hacker will (finally) be launching on Steam on Wednesday the 10th of March. Have a look.
My blog now has a domain name (teradile.com) and a landing page. Anyone going to the old WordPress URL will be redirected to the new one.
My friend Alex has made all the music for Nightfall Hacker, and he’s now released the OST, for free, on Bandcamp. Have a look: https://alexashe.bandcamp.com/album/nightfall-hacker-ost
I made another YouTube channel. Let’s see if this one gets taken down too.
I added a new trailer and some updated screenshots to Nightfall Hacker’s Steam page. I also changed the release year to 2021, because there’s no way it’ll be finished by the end of the year.

I started developing this game on the 9th of September 2019. I started this blog shortly after. With my development speed in the beginning, I guessed I could finish it by June or July. Hofstadter’s law amirite?
Anyway, it’s still very much active. I just have less to post because I’m now working on the story and battles more than the mechanics.
So this happened:
I looked at the policy page on it, and I still don’t know what I’ve done that constitutes spam, deceptive practices or misleading content. I appealed it, and received an automated response saying that my account will stay terminated. I could be more persistent, but considering all the controversy around YouTube’s censorship and demonetisation, I’ve decided to move to a LBRY, a less restrictive platform. I’ve uploaded most of my videos, and the rest will arrive soon.
