Development Progress 🦊
A lot has happened! Here is a short overview of smaller things like the shrine or bigger things like the filters for temperature, rainfall and more!
A heat map overlay has been added. In the cold winter night, people warm themselves by the fire and in their huts, while some animals seek shelter in the forest or underground. 🥶
The new wayside shrine - Some people like to retreat to a quiet place for prayer.
We have created over 60 animal variations. Young and old animals are now more visible For example, a family of foxes:

Hey, Ziggys! We have some exciting news for you! First, we are thrilled to share that Orten was the Case will participate in the Indie Arena Booth (IAB) at Gamescom starting August 23rd, 2023. The in-person event will be held in Cologne, Germany. There will also be an online Steam event where we will stream the latest version of Orten was the case.
This will be a chance for us to meet in person and talk about our MetroidBrainia game! We will be able to demonstrate the different innovative concepts and ideas we have implemented to ensure you have a fantastic gaming experience at the event. For our fans who will not be in attendance, we got you. All our moments will be captured and posted on our official Instagram page
And that's not all. We are also happy to announce the game is now content-complete! What does this mean, you ask? For starters, bringing to life the town of Orten is now done. This includes the main story and we can't wait for you to experience firsthand what it feels like to be stuck in a time loop. Think of it this way. You need to save the town from a nuclear bomb explosion. No pressure, though. It's not like you have lost your memory ……
Getting to this point is a great milestone for us. Lots of internal testing has been done and continues to be done to help weed out the bugs and provide the ultimate experience for you on launch day.
Thank you to everyone who took part, we really appreciate your support!
Developer UPD: Due to technical issues with reward invoicing, we are informing you that some participants may not receive the reward until September 8th, 2023. Thank you for your kind understanding,
