The game you knew as Go Deep or Go Home is now officially titled: Crown of Kings.
This is more than just a name change—it's a statement of intent. What began as a simple tech demo has evolved into a fully-fledged fantasy RPG with ambition, structure, and story.

When I first started this project, I wasn't even building a game. I was creating modular 3D environment assets, such as dungeons, terrain sets, interiors for the Unity Asset Store. Sales were slow, so I decided to showcase them in a game jam entry, which quickly turned into a simple dungeon crawler. There was no story, just randomly generated dungeons and some basic gameplay. I called it Go Deep or Go Home, a fitting name for what it was.

I put the early version on itch.io, added a logo and a basic page... and nothing happened. But I wasn’t done yet.

At the same time, I was developing a third-person character controller system from scratch. I had big plans for it. I hoped to possibly sell it, teach it, or expand it into a toolkit. I called it The Almighty Controller, and it changed everything.

When I plugged it into the demo, the transformation was immediate. Smooth movement, responsive input, and just enough juice to make the game feel right. Suddenly, the game had legs, so I kept going.

In October 2024, I launched the first public demo on Steam. It was a big step forward: new systems, traps, enemies, loot, save functionality, character creation, and more. I scoped the content carefully, and made sure the full game and demo had their own separate pages. But without marketing or outreach, the demo has remained quiet, waiting to be discovered.

The demo is still being updated, but fully playable, and I encourage you to try it out.

As I kept developing, something unexpected happened. I found the story. It started to take shape as a three-act structure:

• Act 1: Classic dungeon crawling. Hack and slash through procedurally generated dungeons, gather loot, and survive.

• Act 2: Property ownership and progression. Buy land, build estates, upgrade your base, and establish a reputation.

• Act 3: Become king. Lead your people, command knights, wage war against other kingdoms, and cleanse the world of its remaining darkness.

At this point, the old title no longer fit. Go Deep or Go Home was built for a demo. Crown of Kings is built for a world.

This name isn’t random. It’s one I came up with over 20 years ago for a game I dreamed of building. And now, finally, I am building it.

The full game is still in development. What you see in the demo is just a glimpse of what's coming.
If any of this sounds interesting to you:

• Play the free demo (still live on Steam)

• Wishlist the full game to help support development

• And follow along as I continue working toward Early Access.

This is Crown of Kings.

And I’m just getting started.

系統優化,BUG修正

Hello, hello, and hi, welcome to July, with yours truly, flower baasket! Lord, has it been a long month...It's been so long we couldn't even afford the • in the announcement title...

Let me tell you, bug testing is not fun! Terrible, terrible, I had to spend so much time fixing shit I never woulda thought of. Doesn't help that even if somebody catches a bug, that doesn't make it easy to replicate. Eugh.

Anyway, anyway, it's not all bad. Because the game is gonna release in a month! Yippee!

As a little treat I have two new videos for you. Coming soon! Sorry...

I couldn't finish them in time. It just wouldn't feel right without adding this one thing. I've been waiting on this one person to get back to be, but once they do I'll get that out as fast as I can!

I'll make another Steam post (or maybe update this one) once I end up finishing that. Hopefully before the end of July.

Now is a good time to advertise my YouTube account, because it'll be posted there first!

But yeah! Since the game's coming out soon, I thought I'd detail a bunch of information about the launch here. Of course, if you have any questions, I'd be happy to personally answer them. I hope I can meet your expectations with this!


Ah, there's the dot. Right, let's get on with it!


Might as well start with something simple. Yes, I am charging for this game, but not very much.

Snow • Fall at launch will cost $4.99. It'll be 20% off the first week though, so only $4.00 if you buy fast!

Or wait to buy it, I don't care. More money for me!



If you want a simple answer, it's enough content to be worth $5, I believe. But if you're more of a numbers person, I got the numbers for you right here.

1 Side Story (~1 Hour and 30 minutes without skipping dialogue)
8 Challenges
1 Infinite Mode
49 Items (17 Unlockables, total of 66)
49 Cubes/Cards (22 Unlockables, total of 71)
38 Steam Achievements
3 Characters (each with one variant, total of 6)


It's hard to put a number on a game like this, since it was designed around getting all the achievements. However, I will say that my acquaintance has 12.1 hours on the game as of writing, and is missing one achievement.

...Granted, they did also abuse a bunch of bugs and OP items, so it might take you even longer. Or even less time, who knows.

Just take that with a grain of salt, but you'll have a fair amount of content. At least until I can get an update out.


Hm...now that I've had somebody play it, I can say this with certainty. This might be a bit strange, considering where this game comes from, but...

...this game is kinda easy.
There are parts where I believe some players will get tripped up (looking at you, painter), but I think the difficulty for this game is fairly low.

I don't plan for it to be easy forever, it's just because I didn't go too crazy with the fights in this Side Story. Of course, as the first ever Side Story, I wanted it to be kind of chill in that regard.

Sorry if you're disappointed by that. You'll get your difficulty spike soon. Heavy emphasis on the soon.



I've said this before, but I don't think I'm a very good writer. Though, I think this game is fun to read.

There's still some angst in the ending cutscenes of the Side Story and in some of the implied lore, but this game is very silly.

If you've been reading the Steam posts, you'll know exactly what type of writing to expect from this game.


Not very.
If you're worried about if you can run this game, don't be!

My computer, which I consider to be fairly mediocre, runs this game perfectly fine! Even when recording, it doesn't give me many issues.



LATE AUGUST ! ! !

More details will be posted once we get closer, but that's the ETA as of right now.



Thank you very much, everyone! I hope this will be a wonderful launch!
