In a dark world somewhere between dream and nightmare you find yourself alone, cold, and without memory of who you are or where you came from. Guided by little more than a silver locket and questions, you must find your way off an isolated island in pursuit of answers.

Hey there retro gamers!

Last week was a bit incommunicado. That was because there wasn't as much time to focus on game dev stuff as I would have liked. Trying to play catch up this week. Today's post goes over some of the things currently going on over here.

Hey there retro gamers!

Today's post is an old album I converted from MIDI files. Two of these tracks were adapted for #TheAching , perhaps the other two will someday get used for another title.

We hope you enjoy these couple of tracks!

Did you know we had a discord server?

Roles have been added to it to match with Patreon tiers but thus far they're mostly just for show.

The plan is to use this as one of several independent channels for communication and documentation for our games and our engines!

From @silentshoalssoftware and Hadrosaurus Software: the anticipated follow-up to The Aching, "IN SILENCE WAITS", is now in development!

Lost in a forgotten valley, it falls to you to guide a lonely bard through the collapsing remains. Explore the ruins and uncover the history of this settlement's fall from grace.

Ate too much for dinner and don't have the cognative capacity for creativity tonight. So instead I decided to put together a collage of all the screens in #theAching.

Watching @Tijn's stream of #theAching and I didn't notice hawk7000 wave at me. I accidentally blanked a dude on stream. >.<

Sorry, hawk7000, where ever you are!

This morning I was looking at #theAching's community pages on Steam and Itch. I really should do that more often because there was stuff there I hadn't responded to for well over a year. It's hit me how the past year or 2 I've barely done anything. Looks like a lot kinda fell apart when I took my new day job.
