Happy New Year, dorks! We've been a bit quiet for the last few months, but we'll have an exciting announcement coming soon.

#indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #indiegames #questing

The Mayor of Villagetown's home. Needs a new coat of paint, but inside, it's full of artefacts and information.

For example, are you curious about the Mayor's 63-part presentation on crop irrigation? Just ask to see it!

Not a joke, btw. That will be in the game.

There's also I Would Love to Wish You Good Morning by
@silhouettegames.bsky.social

Ever wanted a visual novel that feels like #Severance on crack? Well you got your wish!

Though the demo is short, I can't stop thinking about it, and I'm excited for the full release!

Questing Demo on Steam A satirical love-letter to classic 16-bit adventure games, about a chosen hero who never wanted to be chosen.

And finally, #Questing is also pretty good, though we're obviously biased!

If a satirical and subversive action-adventure game inspired by the 16-bit era tickles your fancy, make sure you check it out!

First is The Séance of Blake Manor by @spookydoorway.bsky.social

A fellow Irish studio, Blake Manor is a spooky mystery adventure game, with hints of Sexy Brutale-esque exploration and time management.

Easily the most polished and well-written demo I've played so far!

I've been playing a handful of #SteamNextFest demos this week, and there are two standouts that I really want to share with everyone!

Check 'em out below!

Questing Demo on Steam A satirical love-letter to classic 16-bit adventure games, about a chosen hero who never wanted to be chosen.

#SteamNextFest starts soon! Time to gorge ourselves on indie demos!

#Questing will be part of the event, and is now available on #Linux:

Also, we'll be sharing some of our favourite Next Fest demos soon, so watch this space!

#gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

Another big piece of news from us:

We're thrilled to announce that #Questing will be playable at #PolarisConvention in #Hamburg this weekend!

You can swing by and play the game at Booth 9 in the Indie area (Hall B7)! @polarisconvention.bsky.social

#indiedev #indiegames #gamedev

#Linux users, it's happening.

On the 13th of October (the first day of #SteamNextFest), the Questing demo will available to play on Linux systems.

Hope you enjoy it, pals. #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev

Delighted to announce that #Questing will be part of #SteamNextFest from October 13th to the 20th! Very excited to be included in all the wonderful indie games that'll be showcased that week!

Also, #Linux users, watch this space. We may have some news for you soon...

#indiedev #indegames #gamedev

If you haven’t been paying attention to the EA takeover because you’re not a gamer, here’s why it should concern you anyway.

2 out of 3 people in the US play video games —and right-wingers are gearing up to control their content.

Their messaging, their propaganda. Coming to a console near you.

I also feel bad for everyone who's likely to lose their jobs, as well as the studios that deserve better, like Hazelight.

In just one hour, Captain Fenhu will be streaming the Questing demo! Go check it out on Twitch as he embarks on possibly the weirdest journey of his gaming life!

#indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #Questing

Questing by @jaggysnakegames.bsky.social is officially a category on Twitch!

Thanks to @eddiethebear.bsky.social , streamers can locate the game and have it displayed on their profiles!

The worst piece of criticism you can ever get is when someone says "there are a hundred other games like this already", and then doesn't have the decency to tell you what those games are so you can go and play them. Genuinely evil.

One feature in Questing (unfortunately not in the demo) is the ability to buy furniture for your house!

There's something about interior design/decorating that indie gamers f'ing love, so we're giving people what they want!

Look how comfy this armchair is.
