A long time ago, in a modest office not so far away - Cateia Games began work on Kaptain Brawe...
It was 2009, most of us were still in College, and we were living the dream - We were finally developing games full time!
Sure, the games we worked on weren't blockbusters, but we poured our heart and soul into them, making best of what we could do and afford at the time.

Kaptain Brawe was our 3rd point and click adventure game and the first one that looked really, really good! Needless to say, we were all very excited to work on the game and enjoyed every minute of it.
To this day, dozens of games later, Kaptain Brawe still remains at the very top of the games we're most proud of.

And now, 15 years later, after a lot of work, we're excited to present a very special birthday gift to our beloved Kaptain, and to all of you - Kaptain Brawe is getting English voiceovers!

We worked hard on this, iterating countless times to get everything as close to perfect as possible! We hope you'll like the result :)



P.S. We have even more updates planned for Kaptain Brawe down the line, next on our agenda is getting full gamepad support implemented, so stay tuned!

New temperate biome has been added for higher altitude areas. The weather's getting chillier!

This biome contains coniferous trees, mountain grass, clovers and shrubs. The vegetation is also less dense, a stark contrast to the lush tropical rainforest at lower altitudes.

There will be more biomes added later. Snow, desert, lava and etc. It's a really lively world full of variety!

The game now hides shortcut info when on Deck, in accordance with Valve's requirements for Deck compatibility. Also, if you are on Linux and the game incorrectly thinks it's on Deck, you can disable Deck support by adding the following line to vmArgs in config.json: "-Ddeck=false" (don't forget to add a comma after the previous line).

[h5]Hey everyone,

It’s time for another quick update. [/h5]


While waiting for Chapter Two to be releasable, I decided to push some of the new updates 2 weeks ago. These included features such as dialogue portraits and brightness settings.


You may have noticed that the new marketing material has been released across all platforms - a big thanks to Izzy Huizen Art for the amazing work.




Here’s a sneak peek at the revamped shifting clips coming soon. Thanks to Izzy Huizen Art.




I’m excited to share this sneak peek of the film that Chapter Two revolves around. Big thanks to Skye Wolken @skyewolken for their amazing work!




I’m super excited to announce that we’ll be showcasing the game at PAX Australia in October. If you’re attending the event, make sure you swing by and say hi!

We’ll also have some exclusive merch available at the booth. I’ll be sharing more on this over the next couple of months.





I blinked and it was the middle of July.

If you’re reading this part of the DevLog update, then I can tell you’re just as keen to see Chapter Two as I am to release it.

I believe I might have mentioned this before, but being new to running a studio has been one hell of a learning curve and is eating up more time than I thought it would. In the future, there are many things I would approach differently or implement sooner to mitigate risks. But for now, I’m doing the best that I can to manage a lot of different tasks that I’ve never needed to consider before - such as the major admin side of running a studio.

I’ve been considering releasing an early beta version of Chapter Two, which is still missing some of the minor elements, but it would still give players the vast majority of the chapter. Then, I can release the other elements in some minor updates. I feel as the game is still in Early Access, this could be an effective way to not only show that the game is being worked on, but also give you, the players, the chance to let us know if something feels off, or if you are concerned about elements of the story. You could even tell us if you like the direction the story is taking.



In a previous announcement, I mentioned doing Twitch streaming every Sunday (my time). For the last couple of weeks, I haven’t been able to stream dev work, and I hope to pick things up again very soon, once I’ve got a lot of the admin side of things back on track.

In this devlog I'd like to show you the next progress of the work.
Let's start with the fact that we have a game menu! In the following screenshot you can see how it looks :)



We have introduced the first player assists in the form of tutorials. When a player does an action for the first time, he will receive a description of it at the bottom of the screen and an explanation of which buttons to use :D



Quest markers in the game world have also been added. When a player receives a quest to complete it will be visible as an exclamation mark in the game world :D



From now on we will also display a list of quests on the right side of the screen and a percentage progress bar for completed activities, we can see this in the gif below:



Also, slowly more and more sounds are appearing in the game. You can see a sample of the initial sounds in the video below (they may change as the game develops):




That's all in this devlog. Don't forget to visit our discord and until next time! 😄
