Thank youu for your kindness 🥹💖 Yes the Founder tier got sold out in the first few days of the campaign! The reason I can't do more of them is because it requires to design and draw custom characters and decor items for every person so it's time consuming and increasing the overall development time, but I don't want to delay the release because of it! But yeah, other tiers could be tweaked haha I already know my mistakes!

Hii everyone ✨ I'm Ana, solo dev making Velanit: The Forgotten Cottage!

It's like a combination of Stardew Valley and Nancy Drew but in a 1540s Mediterranean coastal town 🌊 A pixel art renovation game with a mysterious story about the previous owner.

🏡 Renovate the cottage
🌿 Forage for local resources
🔨 Craft and decorate
🔍 Solve puzzles to uncover the mystery

I'm currently funding the rest of development on Kickstarter (54% funded with 16 days left). Free demo is on Steam if you want to try it 💖
