We're very happy to reveal the name of our new game:
Shadows of the Afterland.
And allow us to introduce Isidro, the zookeeper of "Casa de Fieras", the old zoo of Madrid.
Although Isidro isn't a main character, he'll play a crucial role in the story.

For our game we had to reject a few translation agencies because they refused to list their translators and editors in the credits.
And that's just because we asked. Because we heard from people like you. Imagine what happens when devs sign a contract without asking about that...

Welcome to the Eternity's Vault, where Carolina Alarcón begins her adventure in the afterlife (by dealing with bureaucrats 😆).
Imagine being Carolina as she arrives here - what thoughts or feelings does our art evoke in you?

Hola
@angelmartin_nc
Somos Silvia y Rubén, de Coruña, y mañana lanzamos en Steam nuestro juego Intruder in Antiquonia.
Es una aventura gráfica de misterio en un pueblo que odia Internet. Nos haría mucha ilusión si lo mencionas, y consigues pronunciar Antiquonia a la primera 😅
We have just exceeded 3000 downloads of the demo in less than 2 days 😱
I can only compare to our previous game, which took 12 days to reach that many downloads.
Thanks to everyone who downloaded the demo of Shadows of the Afterland! I hope you are enjoying it🫶
📢Announcement time📢
After tons of work, we have finally chosen a name for our upcoming
#pointandclick
adventure game 🎉
Intruder in Antiquonia
And there is also a small website!
Sooo happy to finally be able to refer to the game by name!!!!!
📣Time to reveal a new location: the Institute of Life Cycles.🌀
This is the place where the reincarnations of souls👻 take place and where Gregorio works.
I wrote my first line of code in this beauty here at the age of six. My father bought it so he could learn some programming, but his interest didn't last long.
I, on the other hand, have been hooked on programming ever since...
What was your first computer?
It's only 3 days left until the release 🚀 and we want to share with you the final trailer 🎬 of

I'm labeling inaccessible demo areas. I want to avoid breaking the fourth wall with a protagonist saying "Closed in the demo".
I like this approach because it keeps Carolina in character while the players know what's going on.

Today I want to take you on a journey to the enchanting Casa de Fieras, which served as Madrid's zoo 🐒🐅🐼 from 1774 to 1972 and was located in the beautiful Retiro Park.

What's your opinion on the use of
#pixelart
for point-and-click adventure games?
Something we wanted to improve in "Shadows of the Afterland" are the opening lines in conversations.
We wanted to avoid repetition, but having more than one option was very complex and error-prone, so I built support directly into the engine and now it's safe and easy!
Ok, I finally got the camera to move the way I wanted it to. That took a lot of whiteboarding and adjusting the math...
PS: Ignore the ugly fog, that's for another day 😅
I am so glad I can finally share this news 📢.

I keep reworking the fog effect in different scenes of Shadows of the Afterland. I'm trying to find a balance where the fog is noticeable while still allowing Emilio's beautiful art to shine through.
What do you think? Should I make it denser instead?

Today has been incredibly overwhelming with the support we've received!
I'm feeling exhausted but overflowing with gratitude for all the love and encouragement. 💙
I genuinely never expected this level of support. Thank you, everyone! Now, it's time to catch some sleep. 💤
I started retweeting some other adventure games on sale and decided it would be much better to create a thread where you can discover them all (all the ones I could find, anyway). I've decided to go in alphabetical order.
If I've forgotten something, feel free to add it.

Our "monkey test" (also called fuzz test), which plays randomly, hasn't managed to break the game in the last two weeks, which is a great sign!
Here is an example of the test in action, in case you are curious:
