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 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!

Blog update!

Comments are back!

After years of neglect I (Dave that is) have finally fixed wordpress so that comments show up on pages again! WordPress keeps updating automatically on me and breaking things, and I’ve been pretty lazy with fixing it. This site was really hacked together back in 2013 and it’s showing the signs! We haven’t exactly been writing much on this blog for the last few years either, poor thing’s been lonely.

Tshirts are back!

We have a new Tshirt Store! Thanks to my wife Clare for getting that sorted for us! Go grab some powerhoof shirts!

Infrequent updates are back!

So what else’s been happening? Well, we’re still going strong, just haven’t posting much here. We’ve been mainly hanging out on Discord (https://discord.gg/powerhoof) and sharing things there. Barney shares a lot of nice Acid Knife gifs on the twitter too.

So check out either of those places if you need more powerhoof in your life!

Read on for an update on The Drifter…
