Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a fork of the mobile roguelike Pixel Dungeon, which came into existence thanks to the Pixel Dungeon community. The community has helped guide development direction and drive the game's success. The end result is an approachable but fully-featured roguelike that fits in your pocket!

In this talk I'll cover some of the techniques and lessons I've learned while developing ShatteredPD. This includes using the Pixel Dungeon community to gain an initial audience, involving player feedback/analytics in the game's iterative update model, leveraging the community to monetize without harming gameplay (despite the mobile ecosystem!), and following community demand to help guide the game's long-term direction.
