(and follow the Fullbright Newsletter for updates all along the way right in your inbox!) but here's the rundown: Springs, Eternal is a lo-fi (”Dreamcast-era” or maybe late-’90s PC graphics) first-person story exploration game (”walking simulator”) that takes place at a secluded hot springs in the dead of night.

Commentary Mode?! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3098700/Fullbright_Presents_TOILET_SPIDERS/ I'm excited to bring this weird game out of Early Access with the 1.0 Update. Here's |

In the Summer issue of the Fullbright Newsletter (which you should sign up for if you haven’t!), I introduced the concept of Fullbright Presents: an ongoing series of small, strange, lo-fi games I'm producing as a solo developer, to be released into Steam Early Access as they roll off the production line. And now, just a few short months later, here it is! This isn't a super-rough alpha Early Access launch either, the game is actually a pretty polished version of itself. There's a little more in |

| Minor patch, big in size! | 2019-11-06 | Hey all! We're rolling out a patch to Gone Home that should have no noticeable impact on most users-- aside from a large patch download size! The new version of the Mac OS has security requirements that require an update to a newer version of the Unity engine, which is what this patch is all about. We're updating the game to a more current version of Unity on all OSes, which unless we missed something, should just mean the game is exactly the same, but maybe running a little smoother... and doesn't throw a security warning on Mac. Oh, we also took the opportunity to improve support for Dualshock controllers, and clean up a couple other very m |
