  New Demo Available

  New Demo Now AvailableI've just uploaded the new expanded demo! This one is an extended and feature-complete version of the previous demo. It showcases the central dungeon from episode 2, including a couple town/hub areas, along with a bunch of combat and equipment content, and a couple of major story scenes.New Content:More Magic and Unlocked EquipmentThe previous version was limited to two magic "flicks" and all of the equipment was locked. The new demo features a fully unlocked equipment system with a ton of fully functional equipments and magic spells available to discover throughout the dungeon!Melee Attack AnimationsThe two heroes now have melee weapons! The melee weapons are handy in a pinch (and to cut grass in the overworld), but the guns are still better in combat! 😛Blitz has his trust machete and Owl has a rapier thrust. Both have their own unique atk stat now for the melee attack, so there'll be some more room to expand on these in the future. PullfrogThe pullfrog mechanic is implemented (technically it was in the previous version too, but the demo ended before you unlocked it). The pullfrog is our version of a hookshot: handy for accessing new areas in the world, and also in battle it can be used like a dash. It's unlocked as part of the story progress.More Areas (Frogheim, Frog Tower) and Story ScenesThe demo is a little bit longer than the previous version, featuring a couple new areas, with more NPCs, shops, dialogue options, a couple new dungeon rooms and a major cutscene at the end of the demo!This is hopefully the final demo before I start releasing full episodes. Of course, if you find any bugs or errors let me know.Thanks for checking it out!

  Demo/Beta Launched on Steam

  The demo is now playable here on Steam!When the game announced last week, I only had the itch.io demo and it wasn't up on Steam. My original plan was to stick with itch for the demo and development and then use the finished first episode as the Steam demo. This was mostly because I'd seen "marketing advice" from the gamedev-youtube-sphere that convinced me that I only had one shot to put a demo on steam.Then game was announced in the Indie Quest event! I'm really happy with how it went, and comments on the trailer were positive.but... did I even release a demo at all? Let's just say: people don't want to go to itch to download a demo, not when the Steam demos are so frictionless. So I learned my lesson and sucked it up, and I put the demo up on Steam. Now it should be more accessible to players.(Also, honestly I'd have preferred to stay on itch, if only because this site's comfy and it's my home as an indie guy, but Steam's gravitational pull is too strong)State of the Demo/BetaIt's a Demo AND an "open Beta" because:It's a demo for the systems, visuals, world, tone, etc- I'm confident with it as a true demo vertical slice that represents the final game. It's about 20 minutes long, showcasing the core loop and systems: with a dungeon, combat, and a few character scenes.The part that's open-beta (and specifically why I am desperate to see players play): to gauge the baseline difficulty for the combat and balance.It's the classic dev trap: I'm too familiar with the game and can't judge its difficulty on my own.Now/next:I've spent the past year building the engine and systems, this demo release is the culmination of this phase of dev.Moving into the content phase of the project (which is what I've been looking forward to this whole time: the fun part for me is in working with the details in the environment (both in the flow-design and in the pixel art), and finding moments in the story to express character personality) (and tbh: making weird one-off npcs and jokes is a ...
