  Conventions and dev updates

  Since our last update in March we've been working hard on finishing the game - focusing on editing the final 14+ hours of footage. We're close... but the earliest release date now would be the end of the year if nothing else causes delays. We genuinely didn't expect it to take this long but there have been a few "acts of god" behind the scenes that have been slowing us down. In particular, we were moved out of home last March whilst it was stripped and rebuilt (including the Doctor Dekker set) due to a burst underfloor water pipe. We will try and channel this experience into a future character (a possessed plumber perhaps!) but for now just know we've been working as hard as we can over the last 16 weeks, whilst living in 9 different houses. Fortunately our insurance is paying - for some of it 😅In brighter news we've been out in the wild attending conventions whilst on the road. DreamHack Birmingham, Debug Games Festival Norwich and MCM Comic Con London to name a few. We've also been selected for the Brilliant Indie Treasures showcase in Brighton next week. If you can make it down, come and say hi to Tim, and he'll have some stickers for you! After that, the whole team is heading to Colchester for the Rapture Gaming Festival in August. We may have a new character to play for that one but no promises just yet...We were also selected for the 2026 Indie Premier Game Showcase with the awards festival at 7pm ET tonight. Tune in to their YouTube channel if you can - it's midnight for us in the UK but then, what were we going to use our extra hour for anyway... ;-)Klemens and Anna meetup at MCM Comic Con LondonFinally, please hit that wishlist button if you'd like to get more updates and the alert when we release

  Dekker 2 Steam Deck Compatibility

  We're currently in the middle of all the things but we've already started testing on the Steam Deck with a native linux build, webm videos and a larger scale UI. There won't be any touchscreen functionality but other than that it should work well. The larger scale UI will also be available on the standard PC build for anyone that prefers the bigger view of things and for playing more comfortably on TV.
