​You may have seen earlier this month that VIDEOVERSE has been selected to take part in The Storyteller’s Festival on Steam, from March 25th to April 1st. So, on Sunday 26th March at 5pm GMT/ 9am PST, there will be a broadcast of me playing the first online demo whilst talking about VIDEOVERSE's development – I'd love it if you could make it! You can set an email reminder from the Steam event page so you won't miss it, and the demo will available for you to download and play for free during the festival, until April 9th. Then, I'll be making some final changes to the game, and launching an updated demo shortly after.

Unfortunately, I am away during The Storyteller's Festival, so I the broadcast will not be live...but, on the plus side, there are now subtitles available for anyone hard of hearing. The broadcast will be available until the end of the festival, too, for anyone who misses it.

I look forward to hearing what you all think of VIDEOVERSE. This is the first online demo, and the game is still in development, so it's a great time to hear your feedback – Whether you find a bug, typo or just really, really like it, I'd love to know!

Also, I've rolled out some new promotional art featuring the Kinmoku Shark gaming system (see below), which is where the majority of VIDEOVERSE takes place! I'm really pleased with how this artwork came out – I think it shows off the game well...but, more importantly, if you check the Steam page, you may see the release date of "Q3 2023" – Ooooooh, exciting!! I still need to fix a few things with the game, but it won't be long until you can finally play the full game for yourself. Until then, check out the demo and let me know your thoughts!

Hello! I’m excited to announce that VIDEOVERSE has been selected to take part in The Storyteller’s Festival on Steam from March 25th to April 1st. The first online demo, containing chapter 1 of the game, will be available to download and experience during the event, and I can’t wait for you all to play it. 😀 

As for VIDEOVERSE itself, I’m happy to tell you that the following accessibility features have been added to the game:

• Closed captions
• Clear font option 
• A tip button, which can be used to conveniently find your solution without needing to quit the game and hunt online for one

Plus, I’ve recently added more chat animations, characters and side quests so the social gaming network continues to feel more like a living, breathing community.

VIDEOVERSE is approaching the end of development, and I'll shortly be announcing a release date for the full game – Stay tuned! Until then, please check out the demo available later this month on March 25th.

You may notice the 2023 release window... Once the ending illustrations are finished, VIDEOVERSE will then be feature complete. After which, I will be play-testing, implementing feedback, bug fixing and editing – All the stuff I naively assume will be quick to do but never is. Hence, I've given myself the w i d e release window of 2023.

I'll be back here with more updates for you soon!

I have some excited news to share with you all...

VIDEOVERSE has been selected to be part of Day of the Devs 10th Anniversary on November 5th in San Francisco…and I’ll be there in-person, showing the first playable demo of the game!

Day of the Devs is a free, public event where you can try out a bunch of cool indie games that are currently in development, plus there's food, drinks and live music! The event is at The Midway and general admission starts at 3pm (PT). More information and ticket reservations can be found here.

If you're unable to make it in person, there is also a digital event on November 3rd at 10am (PT) which will be on The Game Awards Twitch channel, where you can see the games in the showcase!

I hope you’ll join us all in the celebrations! :)

It's been a while since I last wrote a blog post, especially about 'Game 2', but the day is finally here! I'm happy to announce my next game is called VIDEOVERSE and will be launching on Steam and itch.io soon (date TBD).

It feels so good to announce VIDEOVERSE after all these years of development! Keeping things quiet until they are ready is really tough!

You can find out more about VIDEOVERSE by checking out its home page (Web 1.0 is back!), checking out the standard page, following the game on itch.io, or wishlisting/ following on Steam.

Thanks again to all my fans who have stayed patient with me throughout the years to hear more about my next project. I believe it will be worth the wait! :)
