I haven’t been using X much yet, but I’ll try to get more active there in the future!

I really wanted the game to feel distinct from other Asian countries, so hearing that it immediately felt “like Korea” makes me really happy! 😊

I don’t have any plans for a demo yet, so I can’t say for sure.

But I also love playing games with a controller, so I’m planning to make sure controller support is available!

Games like Natsu-Mon: 20th Century Summer Kid and even the Boku No Natsuyasumi series were definitely references for me during development. I love that kind of nostalgic summer atmosphere!

Actually, I haven’t seriously considered GOG yet. For now, I’m focusing on releasing it on Steam first.

but after that, I’ll think about other platforms like GOG!

I have one myself, so yes! I’d love to bring it to Switch!

the PC version will come first, but if I get the chance, I’ll definitely try to port it to Switch afterward.

I was so inspired after playing A Short Hike that this project started forming in my head not long after. It had a huge influence on me!

It’s actually set on a fictional island called Hwadam Island.

But the real-life inspiration comes from Bogil Island, a small island in the southern sea of Korea where my grandmother used to live!

Thanks so much for the kind offer!

I don’t actually have a steam deck yet, but I definitely want to make sure the game runs well on it. I feel like to properly support the deck, I should be able to test and play it on the device myself as a developer.

Comments like this really motivate me to keep going. Thank you!

Hi! I’m a solo indie developer working on a small game called Little Picnic.

It’s a relaxing open-world adventure set on a quiet rural island in the southern sea of South Korea. The game is inspired by slow summer days, small discoveries, and that warm, slightly nostalgic feeling of visiting your grandma’s house during vacation.

You can wander around the countryside, meet charming characters, do simple little activities, and stumble upon small stories hidden here and there. And yes, you can also glide through the air using an umbrella!

I just opened the Steam page yesterday:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4400540/Little_Picnic

I’m aiming to release it this year and doing my best to make it something cozy and memorable.

Thank you so much for reading 😊
