  New Demo Sneak Preview

  Following from last year in September, the Hymble Ventures demo is almost ready for the major update. After we removed the mechanics that appeared educational about autism, it expanded more room for creativity and love for the game. This led to re establishing the game’s USP’s. Hymble is still autistic, yet that’s only distinguished from her personality and animations, executed in a subtle manner. Players should naturally pick up on the neurodiversity vibes that way. General Updates This fun, blending mechanic allows you to turn collected fruit into health-restoring smoothies. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44081880/18ecc0e578d22433080d58e804aa0fc28c38ea80.png The character dialogue is now humorous and gives charm to each character. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44081880/e72a8786236f0b7c63bcf1a75433ada0f1414351.png The inventory system is reduced to one table of items, plus you see a cute Hymble animation. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44081880/251f74e2dd3ad8de44dc8f101ffda0bc83390fed.png Power-Up(dates) Zorb Ball is now called Hym-Bubble Boomerang is now called Hym-A-Ring Hand attack is called Hym-Bam Changes to Hymble’s Bedroom The hub has a completely new design to better accommodate the basic run and jump mechanics. You get the Hym-Bam attack as a reward when you reach the windowsill. While the bedroom is sandbox-styled, this gives you a chance to play around with the Hym-Bam attack. You can push toys around the room and break open a surprise box where you’re introduced to Codee! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44081880/51f616ef4157bf950d850ebe4b427ecb561d085e.png Changes to Hungry Hungry Hymble New name - it is now called Rocky Farmlands New short missions - bring the merchant a burger to open his shop, and help a farmer clear pests away from his crops New NPC’s - magic yielding farmers who react if you intrude their patch {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44081880/fe9a307dd331961680e383495d938d9dfcf2252b.png Changes to Hymble, The Witch and the Wardrobe {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44081880/6991c2c7a14d29a5332f250bc2811cda162a0abc...

  BIG UPDATE: Regarding the current gameplay

  Dear followers We apologise if things are running slowly with Hymble Ventures hence why we haven’t updated much recently. As we were in the process of our business growth, we put the games development on hold to focus on establishing our business documents, and pitching the game to publishers and investors. There’s been no luck with securing extra funding thus far, however, the organisations we pitched to gave us excellent feedback which is greater than nothing. Some pointed out that the game’s message about autism (expressed heavily by the four health bar system) overshadowed the gameplay, making Hymble Ventures less fun and more educational. I know some of you see it as a positive educational tool about autism which is good, however, we never intended for this game to be educational at all. Besides, a game about avoiding sensory stimuli and monitoring the characters wellbeing is tedious, but will work as an educational resource. I (JJ, the creator) wanted Hymble Ventures to be a 3D platformer with a tribute to the 90’s gameplay, well fleshed out characters, and a charming narrative. The stresses and burnouts we’ve been facing meant we had to step back from the Hymble Ventures project for a while until we had a clearer vision for it. During my break, I enjoyed playing such platformers as A Hat in Time, Thomas Was Alone, and Cavern of Dreams. If it wasn’t for those games, I wouldn’t have got these exciting new ideas for Hymble Ventures! So moving forward, we will iterate the demo by weaving the neurodiverse themes into the gameplay a lot more so they appear subtle. This change will involve reducing the four sensory health bars to ONE traditional health bar, so Hymble’s health won’t be too headache-inducing to manage. Example below. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44081880/06894af89b0dd17ffdf2e6394e7dd8dbc670a487.jpg The narrative will also get a proper treatment so Hymble has a clear goal. So far, Hymble wants to collect all the magical pieces that will lead her to discovering w...

  Demo Update for WASD Live

  To better accommodate a new player experience, the game starts in Hymble's bedroom where Codee gives players a short tutorial on the innovative four sense bar system. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44081880/f7bbea00b610d5c9792ecd542f67792f1bc9ccbe.png Players at WASD will choose a level without having to complete 'Hungry Hungry Hymble's' first. Beginners of the platform genre or of the game itself are best suited for 'Hungry Hungry Hymble's', whereas 3D platforming pros may enjoy the challenges 'Hymble, The Witch and the Wardrobe' has to offer. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44081880/91b8932f69446707241fc6c92e4111b0c332b787.png We are hoping to gain more wishlists from WASD as well as helpful feedback this week!

  Update coming soon

  Hey guys! For those wondering when the Steam demo will be updated, we are uncertain of when that will happen. But don’t worry, we’re not abandoning the project, we want the latest patch to be brilliant! We’ve also been busy refining our pitch deck in pursuit of a good chance with publishers, and applying for investment opportunities. So we’re giving a heads up of what’s to come when the demo is ready. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44081880/9be352c8599fbfda3b46cc3c2c4179dfa6f699ee.png Hymble Ventures now has a unique mix action-adventure platform and RPG genres, but we’re still marketing it as a 3D platformer. So as players collect fruit, they can trade them with a hungry merchant for healing items, each for a particular sense health bar. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44081880/f57366e2301b28e990b1971ac94ed5eedcf09411.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44081880/792e8c4cd1251f3d9811321fd0481544fb603e71.png
