Release Date Announcement
I'm happy to announce that CHESTNUT GROVE, my first game, will release on Steam on January 23rd. The game will release with some updates (version 1.53): - Steam Achievements - Controller Support - Minor bug fixes and edits. Version 1.0 was originally released during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic, so it was a very odd feeling to revisit the game to give it some updates. I hope it can be a document of its time, a window into a period of uncertainty that impacted a big part of the world. Every Steam version sale will directly fund my next game's development, so I really appreciate the support! PhilipRead full article on Community Announcements (Phazorknight)
