Howdy! This is the first post in a hopefully long list of posts to update the progress on my game.

The Road to Draksten is a point and click adventure game set in a medieval fantasy world. You play as Jeremiah Tubbins, who wakes up in the Shifting Horse Tavern with no memory and no money :/. Talk to the people and perform favors to uncover what happened.

I have a full time job on the side, so although the progress will be a bit slow, I will try to keep the updates regular - every couple of weeks or so. 

Here's a link where you can follow the game :).

The demo is out! https://wolfmakesgames.itch.io/the-road-to-draksten

The demo has creeped its way out the woods of sunny South India! But seriously, with work and other stuff, it took a while to put this together and polish it as much as I could. Also, some of the sprites have been slightly changed since the first post.

Right now, this is just a small chapter of the larger game. I am working on completing the future chapters, each of which I will release on completion! But bear with me, this will be a journey. I am just one guy working on it. 

This demo is a vertical slice of what to expect in the future chapters. Because I dont have to build new systems, work should be quicker. Just need to pull them AdamCYounis videos to polish up and improve the art haha. In the meantime, please let me know what you think of the demo - the art, the writing, the bugs etc. All feedback and criticism is appreciated. I hope you have fun!

Hello guys! I managed to get the WebGL build out but there are a couple of hitches.

One is that it starts of boxed and the edges of the game are blocked by the border. This is fixed when you go fullscreen, so I will come back to this issue later.

The main issue is that the game doesnt save between browser sessions. I am looking into this and I will fix this as fast as I can. 

What's next for the game?

Chapter 2 : The Mayor Summons

So, chapter 2 follows Jeremiah after him leaving the tavern. I have general sketches for the content in this chapter, but drawing art can be timetaking. I will update the devlogs as soon as I finish chapter milestones.  Anyway, if you've read this far (or haven't), thanks for checking out the devlog and stay safe out there!

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've posted. I've been busy with a lot of stuff, what with covid rampaging in my country and me trying to maintain my sanity. But don't worry, I've made decent progress.

Here's a tease of what's coming:

As you can see, lot of new stuff has been added! I'm also doing a few tweaks and fixes based on feedback. All in all, just gotta put all this stuff in the engine, put in the dialogue and that's when I'll post the next devlog! Until then, take care!

Chapter 2 is here!

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've posted about new content. I hear the beck and call of the maddening crowd and thus I come to you bearing a new chapter! The Road to The Mayor. 

This chapter follows Jeremiah after he concludes his business at the Shifting Horse. He was told the mayor would know about why he is in Draksten in the first place. But, nothing comes easily to poor old Jeremiah. There are more obstacles in his way. Help him solve more problems for the people you meet to get one step closer to knowing the truth.

Additionally, I have added a few feature fixes - the skip text animation. You can see it in action in the gifs above! Also, you can skip previously visited dialogues.

I hope you enjoy the new content! Please give me some feedback or share your thoughts about the game. Chapter 3 is planned to be considerably larger than the current ones. So, I'll see you all once I've made good progress. Stay safe and have a nice day!

Chapter 2 bug fixes - v0.2.1 is out!

Hey everyone! I've received feedback from both here and on discord about what people liked and disliked. So I made some fixes and changes in the previous build. And now 0.2.1 is out!

Here's what's happened:

• Fixed a bug where Chapter 2 doesn't take you to the end screen after finishing it.
• Fixed the text at the end of Chapter 1.
• Fixed the cursor alignment to the top left corner.
• Fixed the no music issue the first time you play the game.
• Changed the Exit and Skip button icons.

That's it for now. Chapter 3 is in the works. Hope you have a nice day!

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've shared updates. A lot has happened personally and in the game's development this past month. I've been busy working on Chapter 3 and it's planned to be much bigger than both the previous chapters (at least art and dialogue wise). And there's a world map! Here's some art from the new Chapter. Have a nice day and stay safe!

Greetings one and all!! I have returned from the long silence to share good news to all ye who are looking for more content! Chapter 3 - much bigger than the previous two is out now! And there's a world map now! Check it out! 

Seriously though, this took a lot longer than expected. Life got in the way several times but I've kept at it slowly and steadily without losing too much of my sanity. And here we are. Please do note that I am just one guy working on this (music is done by TeknoAXE - link in game description) and I really appreciate all feedback - so don't be shy. Share your thoughts and suggestions for the game.

All Chapters are unlocked. If you are new to the game, welcome! I would recommend playing the older Chapters first. Returning players can just continue with the new Chapter.

What's next from here? If you reached the end of Chapter 3, then just gotta wait for me to finish Chapter 4. After that, who knows? I might continue the adventures of Jeremiah or I might start work on a different game. Time will tell. Till then, adios and take care!

PS : Music I recommend listening to. "Straight Lines" by VOLA.
