Next Fest, here we come! This trailer will function as a gameplay overview trailer for the demo, not the full game! Packed with gameplay, but does not give away everything! Look forward to it!

...if we DID do something crazy like that though, we'd probably want you all to be extremely certain you're playing the updated version... if there's not a cutscene on boot or it fails to load at all, you don't have the right update!
tiodmgame.bsky.social
Wait, that's curious...doesn't the game have to be OUT to get big updates?

Someone should go investigate the Steam page to make sure you can't play it early... Surely we wouldn't drop it early just for our BlueSky friends...right?

That's probably what we should have done, but since you won't need to sprint very often until around the midway point of the full game anyway we just put it off. Now running animations haunt us all lol
tiodmgame.bsky.social
Run cycles are so tough! Tough enough that even though you can sprint in the demo for our game, we didn't make run animations and are instead saving those until the full game lol

Here it comes! Gameplay Trailer time!

Just vibing in the swamp with my gator buddy, no biggie

Has anybody been reading the subtitles on these? Freaky stuff, man! Anyway, here's a little snippet of gameplay for you before bed.

Meet Montgomery Gunths! The former fishing boat tycoon now reduced to living in a house boat. Montgomery may know more about the island than he lets on, and for a small fee, he may even take you to...wait, Howard stole his boat?!

Had a few bugs popup, but working hard on a patch! Some folks in the press got to play it early, and uh...well be happy you guys get to play it on the 13 instead. Gives us time to let the journalists find the bugs for us so we can squash 'em!

Not exactly what I was looking for, buddy.

(forgive the sound mixing, it's getting cleaned up as we speak)

This is an excellent question. Yes, Howard does have a last name. His last name is Plunkett.

Special thanks to our talented concept artist @meikesandwich.bsky.social for hand crafting new artwork for each game over screen!
tiodmgame.bsky.social
The Island of Doctor Morose is full of unique threats (many more than we've shown in trailers). For each enemy, the game over screen will be different and contain new lore tidbits! They also all have unique rhymes! Collect.... them all?

if you didn't, you really might want to go back and read those...
tiodmgame.bsky.social
did you know some of the trailers have captions on them?
tiodmgame.bsky.social
Was going to finally show off what Doctor Morose looks like today, then I noticed something... Was that always open?

You don't think there's something in the boat, do you?

A man in brown stands near a boat whose gangplank is down, connecting it to a long wooden dock. All of this is presented in a goofy artstyle under a gray sky.

Today's post is just a reminder that there's a brand new promo trailer out on YouTube that you can watch right now!

...oh who am I kidding? Here's a screenshot just for you. If you can guess what's behind the door, you might win a prize.

Well done! We were scared when our page went live, too. Heck of a journey to be on, game development!

They say Greatmaw Island has quite the collection
of specimens worthy of careful dissection

That is why hundreds live here, with the Doc
But right now, none seem to be on the clock...

One of the most important tools at Howard's disposal is his trusty lamp! Be sure to stock up on oil when you see it, or you'll very quickly find yourself stuck in the dark! And remember: what you can't see CAN hurt you!
