Good news: I'm about to finish the first chapter of my new game.🥳 Bad news: In a silly accident, I fractured a finger on my right hand. I can't continue developing the game until the bandages are removed and the pain subsides 😬

And... done! This scene took me two days. I would like to thank @donutdroid.bsky.social for their advice when creating it. What do you think of the final result?

In the new game in dev, there'll be a museum inspired by Gabriel Knight 2 & 3, more focused on the background of your investigation. Visit museums! It's enriching, broadens your horizons, and if you're a dev, can spark great ideas!

The inspiration comes from the wonderful The Lost Crown by Darkling Room. In Saxton, there’s a museum where you can immerse yourself in the town’s historyor simply have a good time, as it has no impact on solving the puzzles. I’ve always thought it was a fantastic idea.

The museum itself is based on the L.A. Paranormal Museum, which appears in my first game: Urban Witch Story. The same thing happened there. You can go in and head straight for an object that will solve a puzzle, or you can get lost in its rooms and take a break from the gameplay.

This museum was integrated into The Dark Rites of Arkham for several reasons. One was narrative: you’ll have to solve a puzzle there. Another was to give those unfamiliar with H.P. Lovecraft a quick introduction to his themes and obsessions. 🧵

After two months of well-deserved rest, it’s time to get back to work! We’re also in talks for "some things". We’ll see what happens! For now… let’s keep pushing hard on Adventure Game Studio!

That said, they don’t know what they’re missing out on with Tex Avery and Chuck Jones’ Looney Tunes. I’m sure they’d love them!

They really appreciate it, and it creates an extra level of trust.They’re building their own pop culture, just like we did back then with everything we were constantly exposed to on TV.

My daughter doesn't know who Han Solo or Luke Skywalker are. But I know what Heartstopper and My Life with the Walter Boys are, and which movies Sunny Sandler stars in. It’s really enriching for them when their parents take an interest in what they watch.

These are the portraits from the new game and the ones from NF before they were replaced (thank goodness) by @encomplotgames.bsky.social' artwork. If you feel like your art isn’t up to par, keep practicing. There are no magic tricks, and we’ve all been there.

The new game features radio stations. This one plays 1980s Euro disco. So far, there are two licensed songs and this little preview of an original track, with music by Matías Olmedo, lyrics by @deadidlegames.bsky.social and vocals by Fia Janninge. We're working on more!

I can't wait to share the progress of the new game with you all. But for now, it's time to take a break!

The tone of the game is more serious this time around. There are very few of the little touches of humor that were so well received in the previous games. But don't worry. It still has all the DNA of a Postmodern game.

Postmodern Adventures @postmodernadv.bsky.social · 08/07/2026
One of them will probably be controversial, but as you play through the game, you'll see that it makes perfect sense. It's a bold choice, and I think people will end up seeing it in a positive light.

Postmodern Adventures @postmodernadv.bsky.social · 08/07/2026
The good news? I'll come back to the game more motivated than ever. The story I've created has me completely hooked. I've come up with ideas I've never tried before, and I can't wait to start working on them.

Postmodern Adventures @postmodernadv.bsky.social · 08/07/2026
I've been away from AGS and Photoshop for a couple of weeks now, and it'll probably be a few more weeks before I'm back. I've been making games (almost) non-stop since 2020, and I think I've earned a well-deserved break. 👇

Postmodern Adventures @postmodernadv.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
And you've heard of me without a promotional post! 😅 Jokes aside, what really works well for me in X and here is posting about new games, new screenshots, progress reports, and things like that. They're still great places to showcase your work.

Postmodern Adventures @postmodernadv.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
But I think your case is different. I mean, you're Wadjet Eye Games, the most well-known adventure game studio out there right now. What works for you might not work for everyone else. And I'm glad this approach works for you!

Postmodern Adventures @postmodernadv.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
But it's something I've discussed with a few developers who are at roughly the same stage as me, and we've all come to the same conclusion.

Postmodern Adventures @postmodernadv.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
There have been Steam Sales where I didn't post anything, and the numbers were actually even better than during the previous ones. Of course, some Steam Sales perform better than others.

Postmodern Adventures @postmodernadv.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
And of course, word of mouth is far more effective than forty posts on social media. So if you enjoy an adventure game, tell people about it! These days, it's the most powerful marketing tool indie developers have!

Postmodern Adventures @postmodernadv.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
I don't know if constantly posting about discounts works for other developers. I guess X and Bluesky are no longer effective marketing tools for increasing sales. It's Steam, with its algorithms and its magic, that really gets a game in front of players.

Postmodern Adventures @postmodernadv.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
For example, this sale has been the most successful one since I started making games. We're talking about thousands of copies sold, and I only made one post several days after it had already started. And trust me, that post isn't what drove the increase in sales.

Postmodern Adventures @postmodernadv.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
One of the reasons I don't flood your timeline every three hours with posts about my games being on sale during the Steam's sales is that it barely makes any difference. Social media or not, my sales stay about the same. And they're good numbers! 👇

I put a lot of care into the music and sound design to highlight the period in which the game is set and make the immersion as complete as possible. Thank you very much for your kind words!
