I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who downloaded the VIDEOVERSE demo during The Storyteller's Festival. It was a huge success with many new followers and thousands of downloads, helping VIDEOVERSE find its audience! The first demo was intended to only be available during the event, but was extended until today as it was also selected to be part of the Women-led Games event from April 7-9. In case you didn't get around to playing the demo yet, there will be another chance soon with an updated demo that will launch before the full game's release. Also, thank you to everyone who sent me their thoughts and feedback about the demo. I received some great suggestions which I plan to implement next. VIDEOVERSE is now entering the final stages of development, so if you still have some feedback or thoughts on what you played, it's not too late to send them! I can't wait for you all to experience the full game soon. Until next time!

Help Videoverse thrive and survive!
Take a trip back to the days of the early internet and fan forums, when the video game console "Kinmoku Shark" and its online social network "Videoverse" were still popular...
VIDEOVERSE is a 1-bit love letter to old-school social gaming networks where you play as Emmett, a video game-obsessed teenager. In this narrative adventure game, you’ll browse community pages, share artwork, make friends and report trolls to help this retro-inspired social network become a better place for everyone.
Will your actions help Videoverse thrive or will you get caught up in teenage dramas, video game fandoms and corporate conspiracies?
Videoverse features:
- A decision-based narrative adventure that can be enjoyed in around 6 hours
- A chill, retro-inspired soundtrack composed by Clark Aboud (Slay the Spire, Kind Words)
- A nostalgic throwback to retro social networks like MSN messenger, Miiverse and online message boards
- Original artwork and 1-bit pixel animations
