The Drifter is OUT NOW

The long wait is over!

I’m so happy to finally be able to get The Drifter into your hands. It’s been a long road working on this game, but I think it’s something special, hope you do too!

You can grab it on Steam below, or on GoG– and there’s a special discount for the launch period too!

The Drifter Original Soundtrack is also available as DLC- Mitchell Pasmans and I worked hard on getting it to be a fun experience to listen through- intercut with little bits of radio-play style dialog. There’s a bundle with an extra discount if that sounds up your alley!

Reviews are warmly welcomed, positive or negative, they help people find our game, so let me know what you think!

Wrapping up 2024

Bring on 2025, the year of The Drifter!

Another year down, and The Drifter’s getting real close! Still a lot to do though… I’ll be head down working on it, casting actors, recording and editing VO, getting art and sound in for the final few climactic scenes and bugfixing and polishing the whole thing up. The next time I pop my head up for air it’ll probably be when we announce a release date!

Anyway, here’s a little 2024 wrap-up video I made-

The Telwynium – Book Three

The Shadow of Spring

Welp, we’re really neglecting this blog ha ha! But I’ve wrapped up the next instalment of The Telwynium! So what better excuse to update you here 😀

Another year to look back on… I’m still full time on The Drifter, and its still coming along. Finished the writing pass and started recording voices and working on SFX. About 1/3 still needs artwork so that’s the big thing. But we’ll see how fast we can make progress this year!

If you’d like more updates (I just noticed a bunch of comments in here that I ignored all year, sorry), there’s our discord where we’re chatting daily, and I’ve been doing youtube dev diary entries periodically too!

Well, until next time, have a great year!

The Telwynium – Book Two

The Summer King

I’ve wrapped up the next instalment of The Telwynium! Just in time for Christmas!

Looking back on the year, we’ve still mostly been working on The Drifter and Acid Knife. Both are slowly but steadily coming together (still). The Drifter’s been play-tested through from start to finish by testers now, so that was a big milestone! Lots of art and sound to do but it’s happening! And Barney actually let me play Acid Knife last week for the first time since the early combat demo, it’s got an amazing level of depth and detail to all the mechanics, and a huge amount of interesting ideas, and I’ve barely scratched the surface of it so far!

Have a great new year!

The Drifter Dev Diaries

Youtubey goodness

Ok, I guess I’ve done enough of these that it’s worth sharing! Been doing these dev diaries on youtube the last couple of months, I just record them at the start of a dev stream, so they don’t take a bunch of time away from development. (You can also check the stream out at https://twitch.tv/duzzondrums)

In each entry, I say what I’ve been working on, and then briefly chat about a topic, related to what I’m working on, or to adventure game development in general.

Check ’em out!

PowerQuest

A nifty 2d adventure toolkit for Unity

I posted here aaaages ago about PowerQuest in it’s early stages, but haven’t really mentioned it since. However, I’ve been working on it steadily, alongside The Drifter, and it’s pretty fully featured now. It even has its own itch page!

There’s a bunch of others using it now, hanging out on our Discord. So if you have the urge to make your own point ‘n clicker, now’s the time!

The Telwynium

A cosy 90s Fantasy Adventure

I got all nostalgic for Adventure Jam this year. With an EGA game inspired by the games and fantasy novels I grew up on.

It seemed to strike a chord with a bunch of other devs, because it was voted #1 in the Jam!

Intergalactic Wizard Force

It’s Twins (1988), but with wizards… in space

I teamed up with Jacob Janerka (or Paradigm Adventure fame) to make another point ‘n click over the last couple of weeks for AdvXJam!

Travel between planets, solving space mysteries and casting spells from the spellbooks of both Prince Xandar, hero of the cosmos and Maldrek, the galactic wizard!
