Yeah, I'd like to do a Switch version at the very least.
However, note that my first priority is to make the game the best that it can. And I don't want to over promise (given the time and money required). So I would need to hit the Switch milestone during the Kickstarter, or it might happen later down the line if the PC version is enough of a success.

Actually, do you plan on making this available on consoles?
If so, that'd be great! |

Yikes. Well, something to keep in mind if I ever do make something.

How much time and money did I spend on this game do you mean?
Oof. Uuhm.. Welll... That's kinda a painful question. Hahahaha! Its pretty massive with about 18 years of time spend all in all. Just this last year was already at least 8 or 900 hours spent in total on my end, if not over a thousand. Although I have really raised my efforts a lot for the demo/trailer/Kickstarter deadlines. I also had missed income due to taking extra time off from work. The sprites, sound effects, music, fees and misc expenses just last year have also been several thousand euros. Which is honestly very low. You can easily spend several times that amount for the same work depending if you're unlucky with partners and rework. (Also the reason why I'm doing a Kickstarter to be able to complete the game). If you're interested cause you want to make games yourself then I highly HIGHLY recommend picking a different genre. Zelda-likes are some of the more complex options out there. At least coding wise. Smaller puzzle and/or action game are way more viable and less risky. Tactics and strategy games are also better options cause there's a bigger market for them on Steam. |

Hey everybody,
I was so caught up in things that I completely forgot to do actual updates. Long story short (as I'm on my break from work right now): - A demo has now also been released on Steam! It was a bit more complicated than expected at first, but it's yet another milestone reached. - Already updated the demo based on the Steam stats: the early areas have been made slightly simpler (= more hints and smoother curve). The average Steam playtime has been going up, so that's good! - There's still new dungeon music coming in. - A new batch of sound effects has also been commissioned, covering about 1/3 of all the remaining sounds needed for the full game. So that's actually big step being made on that front. - And also put out the next pixel art commission package. So there's progress on all fronts of development at the moment. Progress report: Code: [Select] v0.28.025 (22 januari 2024) |

Someone actually uploaded a playthrough of the entire demo on YouTube 6 years ago, that I enjoyed a lot.
