  despelote now available on mac!

  hi! i have a few things to tell you about but the main thing is: despelote is now available on mac! the mac experts at panic helped us get a build ready. if you had been waiting for that to play it, now is your moment!next, i wanted to show off some pictures of a special "screening" we did of the game in ecuador a couple of months ago. even though the core team that made despelote was very small, so many people helped us along the way and we wanted to thank everyone by inviting them to watch the whole game played live at a movie theater. plus, there was a little bonus show from sebastian who played some songs from the game soundtrack live! sebastian and ian have been mixing the soundtrack together and it is almost ready for release. they've done a wonderful job integrating the music from the game with the ambiences we recorded in ecuador and i'm really excited for everyone to hear it.finally, just a quick update on the nintendo switch release. we've been working very hard to optimize the game to run as smooth as possible on switch, and it is almost ready. we don't have a date to announce yet, but we hope we will very soon. so stay tuned! that's all for now!- julián

  New Patch - Tino Tini's Soccer 99' Freeplay Mode + Scene Select Menu

  Hi! We released a new patch for the game a few days ago. The patch includes a bunch of bug fixes, plus two new features:Tino Tini's Soccer 99' freeplay mode:You can now play the soccer minigame over and over! Select your favorite country from the South American Qualifiers (Ecuador I hope) and play as long as you want. Each country has a different difficulty level so try to beat them all!And, if you connect a second controller, you can play locally against a friend!Scene Selection Mode:You can now jump in to any scene in the game directly, so you can easily relive your favorite moments or find interactions you missed. Also, you can now skip the cutscenes if you want to go straight to the gameplay.In order to access these two extra modes, you have to finish the game first! However, I must sadly confess that I forgot to track whether players finished the game already in the original release build (sorry!), so if you want to access these modes just press start (or escape) 5 times when the logos appear after the game launches, and a new option in the title menu will appear.Full patch notes:New feature: Tino Tini's Soccer 99' freeplay modeNew feature: Scene Selection ModeAccessibility feature: option to toggle the sprint button to run.Fix: weird case where ball outside of stadium in Tino Tini dream was lostFix: ball getting stuck in corner of goal in soccer match dream.Fix: teacher teleports out of class if you arrive back after he arrives.Fix: windows look more like windows now hopefullyFix: grey box on watch font when playing on lower resolutionsFix: teens can push you into the dog giving birth hut and there is no escapeFix: sister gets locked in at La Liebre while playing hide and seek and you can’t progress the day.Fix: if u fall in first dream u get the child animation/soundFix: credits broken when playing in chineseFix: Y-axis inversion don’t apply to cutscenesFix: friends can get stuck in the lightbox in the final sceneFinally, we wanted to thank everyone who has p...

  despelote is getting a demo for Steam Next Fest + we got 4 IGF noms?!

  Hi everyone! It is now early 2025 and we’re going to have a lot of updates on despelote for you in the coming months. 🙂 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43839262/c2e07589f0ce1fef27dafe06a4183981b6e24300.png First, we’re excited to announce that despelote will be getting a public demo for Steam Next Fest! This demo will be the game's opening minutes where you will begin to explore Quito and get up to some mischief. Your save data from the demo will carry over to the final game. That said, if you’re already sold on despelote and want to take it all in fresh once the game is out, we promise you the wait isn’t going to be very long (more to come soon 👀). Still, it would mean a lot if you could spread the word about the demo to folks who maybe have never heard of our game, it’s super appreciated and makes a huge difference. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43839262/993bb00c739a1453d340c65ccb1444d3a529ab5a.jpg Second, and this was totally unexpected, we were nominated for 4 Independent Game Festival awards?! - including the Seumas Mcnally Grand Prize. It’s honestly pretty hard to believe, but yeah, we will be in San Francisco on March 19th for the IGF awards with all of the awesome nominees (shout out to our publisher buds @ Coal Supper for Thank Goodness You’re Here!) wish us luck. Now, before our demo releases on Feb 24th, we will have one more big piece of news for you. Keep an eye out. That’s all for now!
