Dream Disc '24, the free game jam disc for the #dreamcast, is now available for pre-order on our store! You only need to pay shipping.

orcface.com/dream-disc-24

The discs should arrive this month, so if you pick up any other games we'll wait and then ship everything at once :)

I've just spruced up the store page for Chew Chew Mimic on orcface.com

It looks a lot better with screenshots, product icons and even loads faster with optimised video!

A small but significant design change in HarleQuest!'s HUD is to move the player's stamina to a wheel directly above them instead of a bar on the top left. It's way easier at a glance to see how much stamina you have left!

We'll be sending off the Dream Disc '24 master in the next few weeks and we're hard at work on the finishing touches. Here's a sneak peek at the game menu which we've created in our DreamScape game engine. #screenshotsaturday #dreamcast orcface.com/blog/04-drea...

We love this style of controller for the Dreamcast but we realise that our games won't work well with them due to lack of analogue sticks. What do you think about supporting these in HarleQuest! and other games? www.timeextension.com/features/let...

We had a suggestion from Nicholas Ostrom over on X yesterday to make a digital PC release of The Storied Sword available for purchase via our website.

Great idea! You can now get it here for £6 ($7.38 USD) and it includes the manual and full soundtrack.

Any likenesses to existing franchises featuring a swashbuckling swordsman in black, a giant and a fencing master are purely coincidental, honest 🙂
