Loved that multiple people at #AdvX25 asked about our experience with @godotengine.org on Ashwood Conspiracy and that many are considering using it or already are. The future looks bright for Godot ☺️

With the dust of #AdventureX settling, two things are clear: we're more motivated than ever, and our list of improvements has plenty of new items. Time to work on the next update!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by and shared their suggestions!

The two days of #AdvX25 flew by! We're incredibly grateful that we could exhibit our game and be part of this wonderful conference.

Huge thank you to the organizers, volunteers, and all the players who stopped and tried our demo.

A weekend we'll never forget.

In Ashwood Conspiracy you follow in your late uncle's footsteps to uncover the mystery behind the most devastating event in Ashwood's history. Find, collect, and combine items to overcome obstacles. Will you dare to finish what he started?

You come across an abandoned plush toy. You decide to pick it up, and as you do, it vibrates. There’s a torn hole in its back. Inside, you find a cell phone. It has ONE unread message.

What does the message say?

For the AdventureX build of our game, I added a handy keyboard shortcut that resets the game and jumps into the attract/demo screen. Quite happy with how it turned out 😊

🖱️Update 0.3.0 Sneak Peek: Cursors

We felt the old cursors lacked personality and wanted them to better convey the action.

We hired a designer to lend us a hand (pun intended) and he really delivered!

How did I miss that Steam now lets you embed videos and not just GIFs in the main description? 😱

I only noticed it because I was checking another dev’s store page and tried to figure out how their GIF looked so good 🙈

It might not seem much, but just two weeks ago, only our friends and family had played it. So seeing so many strangers now play and enjoy it is super motivating!

We've been busy updating our demo, but it's been coming together a bit slower than we'd like.

In the meantime, we wanted to share what we've been working on, along with a few WIP screenshots.

Playtesting games feels so much more magical than user testing websites or apps. Maybe it’s just me, or maybe it’s because this is our first game, but watching someone play just hits different.

Working on our next demo update.

I just implemented a small change request by our @itch.io demo players: ability to skip the dialogue text animation.

The bulletin board scene is also coming along nicely. Still a WIP, but here's a sneak peek👇
