Hello friends, it's been a while! I'm still around believe it or not, and I'm really excited to announce my new game to the world soon. It's very different from The First Tree, but it still shares my love for personal and emotional storytelling in games.
Geoff Keighley and Kyle Bosman have invited me to share my game for the first time during the Opening Night Live stream for gamescom (!!!!!!). There's also a surprise announcement during the reveal, so be sure to watch the whole pre-show on August 20th.

If you're going to gamescom, please come find my booth in the Indies of America (in the Indie Hall, 10.2) section and come say hi! Elise, who voiced Rachel and helped a lot with The First Tree, will be there too! This is my first time in Germany, and I'm looking forward to meeting you all.
I can't wait to share this new game with you. I've been working on it in secret for years now, and I think some of you will really like it. I'm pretty nervous, but I'm excited to share this new story with you.
Sincerely,
David
From the creator of Home is Where One Starts… comes The First Tree, a third-person exploration game centered around two parallel stories: a fox trying to find her missing family, and a son reconnecting with his father in Alaska. Players take control of the fox on a poignant and beautiful journey that crescendos at the source of life, and perhaps result in an understanding of death. Along the way, players can uncover artifacts and stories from the son's life as he becomes intertwined in the fox’s journey towards The First Tree.
Key Features:
For fans of Journey, Firewatch, and Shelter.
Not a "fox simulator," but an emotional, intimate story by a one-man team with an ending you won't soon forget.
Featuring a gorgeous soundtrack by acclaimed artists like Message to Bears, Lowercase Noises, and Josh Kramer.
A short game (about an hour and a half) focused on story with some light puzzle solving and platforming.
