We spent all day deciding on visual effects for a new trailer... Sometimes it's really hard not to get lost in the details

So we've been discussing if our game needs a subtitle. Do you think so? Our main contenders are "Rottenroots: Beneath the Canopy", "Rottenroots: Secrets in the Soil", and "Rottenroots: A Song of Soil and Sins".

So we've been getting some mixed feedback about the watercolor splashes on the characters' faces... What do you think, distracting are adding to the artistic whimsy?

We have a thing for characters with hidden agendas and secrets... Giving a twist to a character can make them so much more real!

Sooo... Things are getting a little more serious. Now we're approaching a time when we can actually set a realistic publishing date! Most likely it will be some time in the beginning of next year!

Couple more screenshots: Detective Frizbee!

It’s been ~60 days since our last devlog -- huge thanks to Arluc Game for the Twitch love 🙏.

We’re back in dev mode after some personal work. I’m also juggling two horror side projects, so DF updates may take a bit.

Here’s Frizbee playing hide & seek—don’t you just want to boop that button nose?

Let's talk representation: how important is it to you to have a game with diverse characters?

We spent a stupid amount of time arguing if the name of our game (one word) should be divided in two words for the key art (for aesthetic reasons) 🤦‍♀️
