In this patch, I fixed a minor bug in Act 4 and I added support for resizable game window. While the game will auto-launch in full screen mode, you can toggle out of that (according to your OS) and then resize the window how you'd like. All the menus will anchor to the 16:9 aspect ratio of the gameplay window.
Hello everyone,
I am happy to let you all know that The Abandoned Planet is launching for PC, Mac, and Linux on Thursday August 29th. That's in just 3 days!
First of all, I appreciate your patience in waiting for the game. I've polished it as much as I can think to do (at least, until more people get their hands on it haha).
Hello everyone, Thank you all for patiently waiting for "The Abandoned Planet". While the game is technically "finished", there are a few things left to do, like localization, which has been delayed. So, in talks with my publisher, Snapbreak, we have decided to postpone the launch of the game until August 29th. It will 100% come out on this date. Even so, I am so sorry you can't pick it up on May 23rd. My sincerest apologies. I do hope you all can understand. There are numerous factors to consider when picking a release date. We discussed it at length and we believe that August 29th will be a more ideal date than the one we had previously chosen... especially considering there are still some important things left to do. But there is good news... there's a new demo!
Hey everyone! I hope everyone has been doing well over the last few months. I've been busy, and... elephant in the room... I did not meet the Q1 release date. So sorry about that. It's my fault really. With my last game I underestimated how long the final stages of making a commercial game take, and this time I repeated the same mistake. Even when you "finish" a game, there is somehow so many administrative things to take care of; screenshots, trailers, bug fixing, platform optimization, localization, Steam Achievements, etc. Each one of these can take a week or more to complete.. I am just one person after all.
HELLO!
I hope all is well as we kick off 2024. First of all, I want to assure everyone that the game is coming along nicely and is almost finished. I'm working on the final cutscenes and wrapping up some puzzles in Act 5 (the final act). Thank you so much for your patience!
Before we get into the nitty gritty, you can check out a bunch of gameplay and an overview of The Abandoned Planet in this video that it was showcased in. It's a video about upcoming adventure games in 2024. Here is the time stamp of when my game is showcased:

Hello everyone, What a couple of months it's been! I honestly should have posted an update sooner, but alas, I have been head-down working on my next milestone; completing the background artwork for all 5 acts. Yes! That's correct, I have completed a total of 303 individual scenes for "The Abandoned Planet" (TAP).... with more to come as puzzle development commences. Maybe you're thinking, "that doesn't sound like a lot". Well, it is! While games like Myst and Riven, with their pre-rendered backgrounds, contained 100s (maybe 1000s) of backgrounds, those games weren't hand drawn. They were pre-rendered using 3D assets and then just moving the camera and taking snapshots. A huge task, for sure, but nothing compared to hand-drawing the backgrounds. On the other hand, games like Monkey Island or Day of the Tentacle offer around 100 backgrounds each. This is because hand drawn artwork is extremely time-consuming. For TAP, I draw each background. I choose each color from a pre-determined palette. Each pixel has to be precisely placed. So, 300+ backgrounds is a lot, especially for a solo-developer who also has to animate, do puzzle-design, program, and bug fix. Yikes!
Welcome to Puzzle Fest! By now you've likely realized that you've found the most technologically progressive... nay... the most high fidelity... nay nay!... the most puzzlely adventure game OF ALL TIME!!!
I don't know if any of that is true, per-say, but it's not not true-ish. Regardless, "The Abandoned Planet" will undoubtedly scratch that retro-classic, point and click adventure itch.
Hello everyone, I apologize for not publishing a development update sooner, but if you follow me on Twitter, you likely saw that I've been quite active. There is lots to talk about and it's all good news! So, let's get into it.
Hello everyone! Welcome back for another development update for TAP. I'm happy to report that things are coming along nicely. First of all; where am I at with the game?
Hello to everyone who has wishlisted the game so far! No doubt you are wondering how development is going. So, lets get into it and here's a little teaser video to check out: [previewyoutube=JHS2A6W9uIc;full][/previewyoutube]

Play an Astronaut, sent through a worm hole, and stranded on an abandoned planet. Where is she? Where did everyone go? Is she truly alone?
Enjoy this 15-30 minute demo which includes Act 1, "The Crash", which is likely to be the shortest of the final game's 5 Acts. Download and enjoy!
