In this patch, I fixed a minor bug in Act 4 and I added support for resizable game window. While the game will auto-launch in full screen mode, you can toggle out of that (according to your OS) and then resize the window how you'd like. All the menus will anchor to the 16:9 aspect ratio of the gameplay window.

Hello everyone, I am happy to let you all know that The Abandoned Planet is launching for PC, Mac, and Linux on Thursday August 29th. That's in just 3 days! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42468789/92807f73f743b169262f9b811400be6561069e2a.gif First of all, I appreciate your patience in waiting for the game. I've polished it as much as I can think to do (at least, until more people get their hands on it haha). Good Reviews! My publisher, Snapbreak, organized an open beta and over 25,000 people got their hands on The Abandoned Planet. Here are some things people are saying: There is a very well known saying

Hello everyone, Thank you all for patiently waiting for "The Abandoned Planet". While the game is technically "finished", there are a few things left to do, like localization, which has been delayed. So, in talks with my publisher, Snapbreak, we have decided to postpone the launch of the game until August 29th. It will 100% come out on this date. Even so, I am so sorry you can't pick it up on May 23rd. My sincerest apologies. I do hope you all can understand. There are numerous factors to consider when picking a release date. We discussed it at length and we believe that August 29th will be a

Hey everyone! I hope everyone has been doing well over the last few months. I've been busy, and... elephant in the room... I did not meet the Q1 release date. So sorry about that. It's my fault really. With my last game I underestimated how long the final stages of making a commercial game take, and this time I repeated the same mistake. Even when you "finish" a game, there is somehow so many administrative things to take care of; screenshots, trailers, bug fixing, platform optimization, localization, Steam Achievements, etc. Each one of these can take a week or more to complete.. I am just on

HELLO! I hope all is well as we kick off 2024. First of all, I want to assure everyone that the game is coming along nicely and is almost finished. I'm working on the final cutscenes and wrapping up some puzzles in Act 5 (the final act). Thank you so much for your patience! Before we get into the nitty gritty, you can check out a bunch of gameplay and an overview of The Abandoned Planet in this video that it was showcased in. It's a video about upcoming adventure games in 2024. Here is the time stamp of when my game is showcased: https://youtu.be/zAtzAfV9waQ?t=4040 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42468789/

Hello everyone, What a couple of months it's been! I honestly should have posted an update sooner, but alas, I have been head-down working on my next milestone; completing the background artwork for all 5 acts. Yes! That's correct, I have completed a total of 303 individual scenes for "The Abandoned Planet" (TAP).... with more to come as puzzle development commences. Maybe you're thinking, "that doesn't sound like a lot". Well, it is! While games like Myst and Riven, with their pre-rendered backgrounds, contained 100s (maybe 1000s) of backgrounds, those games weren't hand drawn. They were pre-

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42468789/d40af58b83c98618281c68d56c3d7cb52176bc80.png Welcome to Puzzle Fest! By now you've likely realized that you've found the most technologically progressive... nay... the most high fidelity... nay nay!... the most puzzlely adventure game OF ALL TIME!!! I don't know if any of that is true, per-say, but it's not not true-ish. Regardless, "The Abandoned Planet" will undoubtedly scratch that retro-classic, point and click adventure itch. Expanded Demo? While the public demo contains Act 1, there is a closed expanded version of the demo that contains Act 1 and 2. This expan

Hello everyone, I apologize for not publishing a development update sooner, but if you follow me on Twitter, you likely saw that I've been quite active. There is lots to talk about and it's all good news! So, let's get into it. New UI The game now has a new UI! I got great feedback here and on social media about pixel-art UI vs. an HD UI. Obviously, each one has it's advantages and disadvantages. But I think I can summarize it by only listing advantages: Pixel-art UI advantages: Aesthetic perfectly matches the in-game graphics HD UI advantages: More detailed UI (which means it can be smaller a

Hello everyone! Welcome back for another development update for TAP. I'm happy to report that things are coming along nicely. First of all; where am I at with the game? Game Progress Well, I'm working hard completing more backgrounds, animations, and puzzles for Act 3. I'm almost done with the artwork for that Act. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42468789/3fc5458062f05aa96ed35a44d8f137769626c4d5.gif My plan is to complete the background artwork/animations for all 5 Acts, then go back through the game and add some additional puzzles and artwork where needed. It's always easier said than done, but my game de

Hello to everyone who has wishlisted the game so far! No doubt you are wondering how development is going. So, let’s get into it and here's a little teaser video to check out: Broad Overview The full game of “The Abandoned Planet” (TAP) contains a total of 5 Acts. Likely, you noticed that Act 1 (the demo) is on the shorter side. From comments I’ve seen, first time playthroughs range from about 15 minutes to 45 minutes, depending on the player. This is good! Personally, I like to design my games with a quick descent into story and gameplay mechanics. While Acts 2 through 5 vary in length, they
