I told you in an earlier announcement that I have been developing a smaller project. Well, here it is!

This is a different game than Gleaner Heights, it is in fact a challenging puzzle platformer. Since many of you playas appreciated Gleaner Heights and are esteemed gentlefolk of old-school taste, I thought you may be interested in this.
The game will be live January 23 for the exorbitant amount of $5.99
On other news, porting Gleaner Heights to GameMaker Studio 2 is almost complete! There are a lot of code optimisations that should make the game run at least 50% faster in some areas. I will probably upload the build when it's ready on the Testing branch and make another announcement about it for all of you who want to try it and give feedback/bug reports before it becomes the default game build. The new engine will serve as the foundation for all subsequent content updates/bug fixing/expansions/console porting so it's important to take my time and do the best possible job with it.
Also, remember when I told you about Gleaner Heights being brought to some consoles? At the time, there was just Microsoft. Now, after some months, Nintendo also expressed interest for the Switch. Just keep in mind that since I have no prior experience with these things, I don't know whether there will be any insurmountable obstacles during each porting process. Maybe the deal will go bust in the certification section. Or Nintendo's age rating section. I really don't know how certain stages of porting work and I'm learning as I go. So take all that with a grain of salt.
When things become smoother and I'm close to releasing with them, I will resume adding content to the game. As I said, I have many ideas on what direction things could take. From more mysterious plots and new characters, to new areas to explore, boy this will be a hell of a ride!
Thanks for playing and supporting the game and I also appreciate your patience while I'm fiddling with the Big Guys' paperwork. Here's hoping it won't take long. You are all awesome. Have a good one.

"Today is another typical day in Gleaner Heights. I got up, went to the general store, bought some seeds, planted them. Cooked some spaghetti bolognese, went out to chop wood. Milked my cows, fed them too. Got in my boat, went underwater with my diving suit. Found a cave entrance, fought a giant crab, grabbed some treasure. Got back up, went to the showroom for a drink. I think the hotel owner's daughter is throwing funny glances at me. I shouldn't have gifted her that boot I fished out the other day..."
