About this game
You've just arrived on the island of Sunset Moon, tasked with looking after your sick grandpa and his farm. Will you be able to stay on track and fulfill your responsibilities, or will the temptations of this Mini Open World Game pull you in other directions?
Looking after an old man and his farm might not sound like a big challenge to a main-land kid like yourself, but you soon realize that your grandpa is not just physically sick, he often talk nonsense and spend all his time on this rather worrying some theory. In the midst of this the disappearance of your grandmother is
doesn't make this old man as innocent as he might seem.
Snoopy Mc Clean, a local detective, is working hard to prove your grandpas involvement in her disappearance. Will you join him on the hunt, or will you stand by your grandpas side? While this murder mystery takes place, more drama on Sunset Moon is brewing, the Shanty people, the lowest of the low, no longer play by the rules in this harmonic hierarchy that the Mayor have managed to establish on Sunset Moon. The Shanty people can be seen patrolling the streets at night, stealing food and robbing stores, how much further will they go?
Features:
Farming - Attend to the farm and help the community to thrive!
Dating - Who knew the love of your life lived on this tiny island all this time?
Mysteries - Solve the disappearance of your grandmother by assisting the local detective.
Stories - Unravel four optional main stories or engage in smaller side quests while minding your own business and helping the locals!
Make Friends - With rich conversation trees and around 40 NPCs, you won't have trouble finding your desired lifestyle or friends!
Classes - Hard work is rewarded, while laziness is not. Drift off and become homeless, join the Shanty people, or aim for the stars and join the Elite!"
In Sunset Moon, you can play as a regular guy, helping your grandpa, help locals, attend your farm, fall in love... You name it. If you work extra hard and make more money then the average gamer, you will be invited to join the Elite, great! You now have access to new areas, houses, and friends.
If you can't pay your rent on the other hand, the town will take your house until you have the money to pay the rent, in the meantime you will wander the streets, collect trash to recycle, go fishing, maybe help some locals with a side quest? Anything to make money and get your life back in order!
You better get your life back on track, before the Shanty people approach you, once you're a Shanty person, the game change drastically.
- More Info coming as the game is going through its development!

GGX In Gothenburg!
As I'm working on my demo (a big one...), I have been sidetracked for a week or two by the GGX event on September 20-21 in Gothenburg. RunicCodes will be there! I'm about to show of my game for the first time ever, but since it's such an enormous mini-open world adventure, I thought it would be impossible to get any feedback from guests by simply letting them play the game without any objectives. So, I did it the RunicCodes way; I went all in. I've sealed off a small portion of the game and created an "in-game GGX event" where you can stroll around and talk to the locals - also, your date Sakura-Chan is waiting for you there! Some of the dialogues are from the original game, while others are made just for this event. The idea is to give the player a feel for the game and delve into the bombastic dialogue system and my super diverse cast of characters. I've been extremely busy making UI images for all NPCs where they show emotions. This took forever but is totally worth it. The dialogues are so much better when the NPCs show facial expressions based on how you steer the conversation. The goal is to release the demo here on Steam as well, unless it's too complicated and unless I can replace the GGX demo with the actual demo I've been working on. Stay tuned and wait for a demo update shortly after GGX (September 20-21, 2024). GGX Info: www.GGX.seRead full article on Community Announcements (RunicCodes)AnnouncementsOfficial

Sunset Moon - Makeover
Short video showing of how the graphics will improve towards the end of the development. Graphics ain't all, but I want to assure you, dear gamer, that the final game is gonna look stellar! (Even better then what you see in this Makeover video.) As I'm getting better and better to make games I learn from my mistakes and this time around I'm focusing on making sure ALL systems work before I bother with polishing the graphics. The graphics is also the most fun part of the development, soooo, there is a personal reward for me towards the end of the development!Read full article on Community Announcements (RunicCodes)AnnouncementsOfficial
Conversation Tree - FINALY DONE!
Not much gameplay to show this week, apart from a funny glitch I ran across... All NPCs acted like the Janitor (Who's job is to fix all the stuff you break while playing the game...) The conversation tree is super complex and I'm so exited its finally done! You can have: - Normal conversation based on your class, season, event, quest etc. - Conversation based on Events (Midsummer, Xmas, New Year etc). - Give and get reactions based on the NPCs likings. - Heart To Heart moments. Once you get to know someone, he might ask you more in-depth stuff where your job is to navigate the conversation to make the NPC feel better and increase the NPCs friendship. - Quests. In order to increase the NPCs friendships, do a side quest or two for them! - Special Events. If you visited certain places, made certain choices, the conversation can alter based on those. - Get married, divorces, married again etc etc! The conversation is different based on WHO you marry and WHO you divorce. Can't wait to start writing conversations for each NPC, and make each one of them look and feel unique and interesting!Read full article on Community Announcements (RunicCodes)AnnouncementsOfficial
Midsummer on Sunset Moon
One of many events on Sunset Moon. This event originates from Scandinavian Culture and I thought it would be neat to have it in the game. My grandfather Rune and his brother Kurt gathered their children and grandchildren to compete in 5 silly challenges. The winning Family got to bring home a Fish made of glass and keep it as a pride and joy until next year where the same fish was up for grabs to the winning team. I will try to re-create some of the challenges in Sunset Moon for the player to enjoy. 1. Potato Sack Jumping 2. Egg Balance Walk 3. Rope-Kampf 4. Best-in-Bed 5. Intelligence test Also teamed up with Team-MAX, very famous Japanese Studio, who will be providing Music for the game. The music you hear is the "Midsummer-Theme" By Johannes/Team-MAX.Read full article on Community Announcements (RunicCodes)
