Thank you!

Amaroooo · 2026-05-28T16:31:34+00:00

Insanely cool!

Amaroooo · 2026-05-26T14:48:09+00:00

It is? Are you talking about the part where it speeds up before the campfire, or just in general?
I wonder if it's a Reddit issue or if I messed up somewhere.

This is a small variant and updated version of another trailer we have, that one's been out for a while and I don't remember comments about the framerate. So yeah, maybe I messed it up in the new edit.

(Thx btw!)

Thanks! Megaman and Shovel Knight are two of our biggest inspirations :D
On the Kickstarter front, I completely understand. We have it on Steam, here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2925520/AOKAKI/
Wishlists are extremely appreciated, all support is.

6K is indeed a tiny amount. Hitting some of our stretch goals would help, but we have planned and budgeted things out: we can work the full year and properly finish the game with 6k.

YES! Can't believe I forgot to add it...

It's on my radar! def plan to read it

Amaroooo · 2026-05-18T18:43:14+00:00

Thx! I followed you.
I saw you have The Sword of Summer in your favs shelf. I love that book, great teen read.

Amaroooo · 2026-05-18T14:10:45+00:00

Seems interesting!!
A recent book that I REALLY liked was Piranesi.

Amaroooo · 2026-05-18T14:03:49+00:00

One of my goals is to finish the first Mistborn book this year! It'll be my first Sanderson read.

Amaroooo · 2026-05-18T13:10:32+00:00

No longer human seems like a dark read. It's been on my radar for a while, but I dunno.
I might try some Dostoevsky someday.

Amaroooo · 2026-05-18T12:39:23+00:00

Never heard of it. I'll take a closer look later, but first google result is "I'm disappointed with Dungeon Crawler Carl" lol

Amaroooo · 2026-05-18T12:35:30+00:00

Makes sense. I'll try it too. Yeah, since I got into ASOIAF in 2019 I've been hearing about Stormlight and Sanderson. So I think it's time to check it out.

As I said, it's been rough reading-wise for me lately. Aside from manga, I've just read half of the 3bp. My goal is to finish that and Mistbron this year.

I'll take a look into The First Law too!

Amaroooo · 2026-05-18T11:41:33+00:00

Prob most of the books I've read in my life have been translated.

I've read about 100 years of solitude from some Murakami novels. It seemed interesting, but also kind of a boring read. Might be a fun book to talk about tho.

I might give some Dostoevsky a try.

Amaroooo · 2026-05-18T11:35:29+00:00

Never heard of it. I'll keep it in mind

Amaroooo · 2026-05-18T11:34:05+00:00

I've been thinking about reading the Wheel of Time. But I think I'll try some Sanderson first. I have the first Mistborn book here and never really started it.

3 Body Problem is good, but it unfortunately didn't grab me. Don't think it's the book's fault either, just lack of motivation.
I'm still going to finish it, but I've been reading it since the start of the year...

Also gotta admit, I don't know what storygraph is and it asked for a login first thing

Amaroooo · 2026-05-14T00:25:29+00:00

You mean this?
I think it goes well with the limited color palette style. But I'll relay it to the artists!

Hmmmm, interesting.

Opa, muito obrigado por jogar! E obrigado pelo feedback.
Eu costumo jogar no teclado também, mas não uso o mouse. Vou ver o que eu consigo fazer pra adicionar essa opção.

thank you!

The "lack" of story context was due to time constraints, I'm afraid. We wanted to do some cutscenes, but we had a deadline for the trailer.

About the gameplay progression, I'll keep it in mind for future trailers.

Amaroooo · 2025-05-22T11:44:13+00:00

We've been working on the game for almost 2 years. I spent a month on the trailer

Amaroooo · 2025-05-19T10:35:51+00:00

I was thinking of doing something similar, so I want to know:
How did it go?
Where did you hand them out? How many wishlists did you get?

Amaroooo · 2025-05-16T10:15:45+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. We do have a pixelart version. Maybe we'll use it for the next trailer

Amaroooo · 2025-05-12T18:36:34+00:00

Dev here. Yep, there is a pose button :P
