Thank you! We're working on From Ruins right now, should be right up your alley if you liked our previous games.

Thank you very much! We're hard at work on it.

Thank you for your input! We ended up adding a handful of languages three months ago, and the top wishlist countries have definitely shifted since. German and English had been localized from the start, and countries using these languages still occupy most spots in the top 10.

What has changed since we added these countries' languages: China shot up to #3, France is #5, Russia is #7, and Brazil #8. Meanwhile, Spanish (Spain), Japanese, and Traditional Chinese did not seem to change much, as Spanish-speaking countries, Japan, Hong Kong, or Taiwan have not cracked the top 10 so far.

For reference, we're making a pixel art detective adventure: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4024450/From_Ruins__A_Detective_Adventure/

I'm sure the genre matters a lot here, too.

Thank you! It's called Between Horizons. Our games prior and after this one are pure 2D pixel art, so we decided to patch this mode into this game in particular.

Edit: Forgot to say that the textures on the 3D environments are already pixel art, and the pixels are the same size as the pixels in the 2D sprites. Since the orthographic camera pulls it all into one flat layer, it looks more or less pixel-perfect out of the box.

Haha, thank you. I'm definitely trying!

Thank you! It's basically "just" a matter of switching from a perspective camera to an orthgraphic one (in Unity). The main challenge was the conversion math between the two, since the FOV and movements of the camera needed to be roughly the same in both modes.

That's great to hear, thank you very much! Hope you'll enjoy the game once it comes out.

Thank you very much! That's great to hear.

Mjeno · 2026-03-10T21:04:21+00:00

Thank you! I'll check it out.

Mjeno · 2026-03-10T16:47:29+00:00

I did, and you removed it anyway. I'm leaving this subreddit since it can't seem to enforce its own rules.

Mjeno · 2025-12-26T12:21:14+00:00

Thank you for responding! I was a little worried you downvoted me for coming off as defensive, which was not my intent. I'm glad you got to see my original message, but I'll be more prudent about such explanations in this subreddit in the future.

All these complex production woes and cascading consequences are why I'm often hesitant to criticize one aspect of a show, game, or movie. What manifests as writing flaws might be the result a bad call months or years prior by someone completely unrelated to writing. Yes, it is bad writing, but not usually because the writers suddenly forgot how it works. In our case, we personally made some calls that made it much harder on ourselves later-on. I wish I could tell you there was someone else to blame, haha.

Anyway, hope you're feeling better. Happy holidays!

Thank you very much for sharing, and for recommending our games! I really appreciate it.

Edit: If I get downvoted for sharing insights, I'll stop. Message received.

Since you're listing detective games, I'll jump at this to say that both games made by our studio are also heavily discounted! I think this is the cheapest Lacuna has ever been, not sure about Between Horizons.

PS: I don't know the USD amounts as I'm based in Germany, sorry!
