Whole plot of Olaf and the Crowning Hangover is inspired by Terry Pratchett's Discworld, so I decided to add Death to the intro. Do you think it is a good fit? #discworld #indiedev #indiegamedev

Last night was legendary! This morning? A disaster.

Help Olaf retrace his steps and uncover what really happened 🥴

It’s #ScreenshotSaturday! 👑

Olaf woke up with no memory, a royal order undelivered, and one hell of a hangover!

Now he's gotta piece it all back together...

Olaf’s had one big night - now it’s your turn to piece it all back together! 🍻

Solve puzzles… in reverse.

Think you can unravel the aftermath?

They say to make a good game, you need to get into your main character’s mindset.
So I spent the whole weekend underground — replacing storage racks in my cellar. #gamedev #indiedev

Did you ever wonder how it's to be a #solodev? It's when your work-life balance is ruined by the main job, data on production server became a hot mess and the last time you made a feature for the game was 3 months ago. #solodevsurvivor #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

Ok, the last round of voting for the title - "Olaf: A Crowning Hangover". Any thoughts about this one? Out of all it seems performing the best in terms of game description, uniqueness and memorability.

Guess what? "A Royal Hangover" is a name of a documentary movie, so it will interfere with the game for sure. So here is the vote for another option - "Olaf and the King's Gems". How do you feel about it?

As you may know, I'm working on Olaf the Boozer. And I know that some people don't like this title because of the word "boozer". I have an option to change it to "Olaf: A Royal Hangover". How do you feel about it? Do you thing it makes any sense?

I don't stream 24/7, so while I'm off (or just because of time zone inconvenience), why not check out these other awesome puzzle videogames players? All with their own range of games/style/niche within the puzzle genre. 💙

I finally implemented a footprints mechanic - they lead character from one point to another but you are not allowed to cross them. With this I can create complex puzzles where on each "crossroad" player needs to select a direction to follow. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #puzzlegame #indiegames

I've granted Olaf a power sought by kings and coveted by the gods themselves. The might to bend conversation to his will, to silence endless sagas, and to cut short the ramblings that worsen a splitting headache.

He now wields the Dialogue Skip. ⏩

That moment when you first wonder how people can make a game for over 5 years and then you see a video with prototype of your game published 5.5 years ago... If anyone wonders, here's what Olaf the Boozer was initially vmikhav.itch.io/olaf-the-boo...
