Next round of patches is up. Most of the work since the previous patch has been against ongoing, difficult issues, but expect fixes in the next day or two on Act 2 failing to save, and for Russian text layout problems. Main points here are some various quest fixes, and solving an issue that had broken the mouse smooth toggle (forcing it on all the time). Mouselook will still be a little bit... imp...

Playstation 4 & 5 controllers now have playable sensitivity settings - that's what happens when you set up your config on a cheap third party controller, I guess. Alongside that, work with this patch has focused on fixes & stability for the drink mixing sequence. I think between this patch & yesterday's we should have gotten most of the issues, but... there's a lot to this game, and plenty of room...

First proper patch has gone live. Main focus with this one is tackling the dialogue softlocks that keep biting at people. With the softlocks we've been seeing, there's generally two causes - an error in the code driving the actual flow of dialogue, followed by the dialogue management or user interface failing to bounce back from that error. A lot of my work with this patch has gone in to identifyi...

Oof. Due to a build script misconfiguration, the game went live without Steam integration or Achievement tracking. Took a bit of time to fix this in order to make sure that changing backend data stuff didn't brick anyone's save files, but achievements are up and running now, and tracked by Steam. Please note - Due to it not actually tracking them before, unfortunately previous gained achievements ...

I completed Roman Sands RE:Build late last night, and haven't had nearly enough time to digest it, but I'm keen to help get the word out and energise whatever algorithmic chicanery might contribute to this gorgeous, ugly thing making money. So! Roman Sands RE:Build is two exquisitely grim games locked in a collapsing binary orbit. You should play it, preferably before reading the rest of this revi...

I've been excited about Roman Sands RE:Build since the moment I laid my eyes on it, particularly because it's from the same studio behind the ever-haunting Paratopic. Roman Sands just has a ridiculously strong art direction to it, very much one that could easily be dubbed Y2K, but I think more accurately should be seen as an evolution of the aesthetic/ era. Almost as if this is the direction it co...

Doki Doki Literature Club is one of my favourite games, and one of the best free games of all time. It’s not exactly innovative or outstanding, if I’m being honest, but it is one of the most memorable gaming experiences I’ve had. The visual novel may look like just that - a narrative game - and nothing more. You’re a boy joining a literature club of girls, all of which end up being romantic intere...

First-person adventure Roman Sands RE:Build was announced during Nintendo’s House Of Indies holiday event, and it’s coming to Steam in summer 2023 too. Described as an “end of time adventure gacha puzzle apocalypse visual novel simulation horror trip”, Roman Sands RE:Build hails from the devs behind horror game Paratopic. It’s got a vaguely vaporwave sensibility that reminds me a smidg...
