  November 25, 2025 by Aceade#devlog

• Demo released
  August 14, 2025 by Aceade#demo, #devlog

  No plan survives contact with the enemy. And by “enemy”, I mean “playtesters at the Galway Game Devs meetup” :D So, yeah. I got a lot of feedback on the UX side of things. To fix that, I’ve... Continue reading

  Minor update: the bots can now hear the player’s footsteps. And the player can run. Sound detection is a bit hacky. Sounds alert every overlapping NPC when they’re playing, and the NPC then checks... Continue reading
