Since Im working on the demo i dont have too much time to read game updates nowadays, but I always take the time to read new updates made by @innkeep.bsky.social.
It's shaping up to be an incredibly atmospheric game with very cool systems!

And that's a wrap for me on Innkeep work for 2025. A massive year all up as we hammered out the bulk of the systems. Very much looking forward to what we get to work on in 2026. But first, some beer and games. 🍻🕹️
Stay safe everybody. 🖖

Good fortune had it that one among the party was gifted with sharp Perception.
Oh... and don't mess with Rhonda.

New year, new adventures! 🗡️
I created a topic on steam for people to share the unique and creative ways they built their heroes and parties, and the adventures they had. Reading all the comments takes me straight back to the days of playing TTRPGs every day!

From the Gamer.no demo review:
"The demo can be replayed many times with dramatically different outcomes.
...
I created a middle-aged warrior who gave me anxiety, paired with an eternal optimist with great charm, and the combo became interesting."

Since the demo launch, wishlists jumped - and today we passed 500!🎉
I honestly never thought my little game would interest more than maybe a hundred people, so I’m a bit lost for words right now.
Cheers to all 508 heroes supporting me on this journey!
Happy Holidays!

I had the chance to play Knights of Frontier Valley ahead of it's January playtest. @knightsfrontier.bsky.social is creating a truly special game, featuring a dynamic, reactive open world, NPCs with intricate daily routines, and deep survival and crime systems - a must-play for RPG fans!

First Steam review is in!
I'm over the moon - this is exactly the idea of the game: an interesting fantasy simulation that evokes the chaotic feeling of TTRPG sessions!🎲
It's fair to say the demo is short - but stay tuned, big news about that are coming in January 🙂

For The Spirit, I handwrite the foundation for each scene - once the criteria are met, the game's scripts take over and adapt the text to match the biome, weather, your characters' personalities, choices, goals, skills, looks, items, mood, health, and relationships. 🌀

Hey #pitchyagame!
Imagine an RPG where you don't control your party.
You define who they are - their flaws, memories, loves, and fears - and then they're on their own.
Every run is unique. Every hero is doomed (probably).
Free demo soon. 🎲
