é£Žē‰©ę‹ę­Œļ¼ˆThe Memory of Mallet) - ēŽ‹č§destory
After receiving a large amount of feedback from players, the game development team of "The Memory of Mallet" has carefully discussed and made some modifications to the game content. The content includes: certain plot and scene CG in the Ab chapter of the character; Place names of certain real-life scenes (* school names)
The original intention of the production team of "The Memory of Mallet" was to promote the school, but the actual purpose of promoting the school after the promotion did not fit the game content, which brought a bad experience to classmates. The production team of 'The Memory of Mallet' has conducted a solemn review of this and deeply apologizes for the confusion caused to all classmates.
All the protagonist prototypes in this game are familiar with and have participated to some extent in the production of 'The Memory of Mallet'. Although the game is based on real-life stories, it has undergone sufficient artistic processing. Please do not overly associate the characters and plot in the game with reality.
Finally, the production team of 'The Memory of Mallet' apologizes for the inconvenience caused to the players. Sorry, it has affected everyone's normal gaming experience.

Horticular: Build a Garden, Attract Wildlife - francescasoph
Howdy Keepers!

How is it the end of July already?! We're over half way through the year...where did the time go?
Well, maybe it's not so surprising that July passed us by, with how huge a month it was for us. Shall we take a look at some of the things we got up to this month?



Release šŸŽ‰

Horticular has now officially fully launched! 3.5 years of love went into this game, and to see it out in the world, where it's being enjoyed by so many of you, has been a wonderful experience. Whether you played the demo when it first came out, or didn't discover us until launch day, we're so appreciative of each and every person who has taken time to play, provide feedback, or support us on our social media channels - as a solo dev and a small publishing team, every single piece of support means the world šŸ’š
You can find out more about the full launch version of Horticular, including some of the new features, over in our launch post.


Launch Livestream

Of course, we had to celebrate the run-up to launch with a livestream! Fran, Mike, and John from Slug Disco were joined by Robert, the incredible solo developer of Horticular, for a pre-launch chat and some slightly chaotic gameplay. You can catch up above, or click here to watch the VOD on YouTube if you missed out!

Free Demo Update

With our demo having been out for a while, it only felt natural to give it a bumper update ahead of launch, so that those of you just discovering Horticular could still try it out before committing to buying the game. We added a new creature tool to help you build your habitats, made adjustments to the quests, animals, and decorations, and even gave our beloved Keepers some fancy upgrades.
You can read more about the changes here - the demo is still available, so if you haven't had a chance to try Horticular yet, you've got plenty of time to fall in love with it!

Community Creations

Since Horticular is now out in the world, we thought we'd share some of our favourite community gardens and habitats that you've been making with the full game!


This incredible garden comes from Aly on Steam - we're absolutely in love with the use of lighting and the amazing pathways!


Atweeds on our Discord channel shared this phenomenal garden - between the incredible vegetable patches and the stunning randomised flowers, we're sure they have plenty of happy creatures lurking!


Our final garden to share comes from ThePillowFortG on Twitter - we're in awe of how many creature habitats they've managed to create in one space!

We'll be sharing some of our favourite gardens every month in our round-up posts, so be sure to send us your screenshots on Twitter, Facebook, or Discord if you'd like the chance to be included!

That's everything we've got for July, but be sure to check back next month for more monthly round-up goodness!

Code.Breaker() - Princess Potato
This is a relatively small patch, but it packs some very neat features!

  • Improved CRT Shader: New shader that adds a nice CRT effect, complete with chromatic aberration and a mild, authentic flicker.
  • Difficulty Settings: You can now select between multiple difficulty settings! Difficulty is set at the beginning of the game. Loading older save states may cause issues, sorry for the inconvenience.
  • Easy Mode: The puzzles too hard for you? Play easy mode had have an easier time getting through the game.
  • Hard Mode: Not difficult enough? Try hard mode and put your hacking skills to the test.
  • Story Mode: Just here for the story? Try story mode. Be forewarned, though, some branches of the story are locked behind the hacking mini game and can't be reached in Story Mode.
  • Achievement Menu: In preparation for our release on other platforms, we added an in game menu where you can look at all the achievements for the game. You can find the Achievement Menu under Extras on the Title Screen.

Next patch, we will be expanding the roster of potential Hangout sessions with our resident bookworm.
Stay tuned for that!

Thank you for supporting the development of Code.Breaker()
