Added a visual hint when movement in direction is not possible - that makes it a bit more clear for the player but also helps a lot on records so you can understand player's intention

IF YOU MAKE A GOOD GAME, PEOPLE WILL WANT TO PLAY IT!

But indie game marketing is such a damn crapshoot...

Do you know this feeling when you think you missed something and then you find out that the missed part will impact half of the project? I finished script and found out that I'm missing one gameplay mechanic and bunch of art๐Ÿ˜…

It depends on source of funding. Just check all those indie/solo like me who have their daily jobs and then they work on their games. Just to complete the game will cost me ~$20k and I really doubt I'll sell enough to cover it. And that would be a death sentence for a small studio.

I do coding myself, art is mainly assets, music is custom. I may need help of a sound designer to work on cartoon/cut scenes for the game.

Olaf had a big night, and now he can't find the royal crown!

Every puzzle sees you retracing your steps as you put it all back together, and hopefully... not lose your head for it ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Retracing your steps should be easy... unless you had a big night!

Olaf has spent his #WishlistWednesday figuring out just what happened last night, one puzzle at a time ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿป

Whole plot of Olaf and the Crowning Hangover is inspired by Terry Pratchett's Discworld, so I decided to add Death to the intro. Do you think it is a good fit? #discworld #indiedev #indiegamedev

Itโ€™s #ScreenshotSaturday! ๐Ÿ‘‘

Olaf woke up with no memory, a royal order undelivered, and one hell of a hangover!

Now he's gotta piece it all back together...
