The September update has been posted on Steam and itch!

This last month has been BUSY, both online and in person!

Game Updates

We made it to in-game August!! The game is now 2/3 complete, with the September Early Access update adding July 28 to August 1.

Early Access v0.4 Changelog

  • Added in-game days July 25th to August 1st.
    • This includes a pass on story branches, conditions, writing, backgrounds, music, and voice adlibs.
  • 8 new backgrounds: 8 dream scenes.
  • 3 new characters and a rough sketch of their sprites.
  • More voice lines! From July 5th to July 23rd.
  • Added dust particle VFX for some of the dreams.
  • Updated the content warnings to be a bit more specific.
  • June 28th: If the dream is repeated, it starts after the second "wake up" so it's less long and repetitive.
  • July 11th to July 26th: Adjusted the relationship pacing.
  • July 26th and 27th: Updated expressions and adlibs.
  • UI: Semi-opaque text box on in-game gallery image moments is now the default.

The Queerness and Games Conference

This month, my wife and I went to Canada for QGCon! DEVIL'S LIMINAL was part of the arcade, alongside a ton of other amazing games. Unfortunately I didn't have time to attend any talks, but I did get to play some of the featured games and chat with attendees!

Seeing the game played in person and talking with other devs was extremely rewarding and just the morale boost we needed.

Cool games!

I only had time to play a few games, so I wanted to share them!

​Love in the Time of Spellphage
​Super cute story, and I love Dustin.

​Parfum Nostalgique
​The art and characters are SO charming.

​Psychroma
​It's been a minute since I played this type of adventure game, and the atmosphere is very intriguing.

​Skate and Date
​Clever premise and adorable characters.

Steam Festivals

DEVIL'S LIMINAL was part of two Steam festivals last month: The Hungry Ghost Festival hosted by South East Asia Game Aesthetic, and the Fall in Love Visual Novel Festival hosted by Studio Élan.

Both of these were pretty fun! Lots of wishlists and new players, and I reached out to several streamers to cover the game. I'm very thankful for the support and coverage from them. On my Bluesky I've tried to repost each one as they post about it.
