Dear players! We are glad to announce that the game now supports different types of controllersyou can connect PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch controllers to your PC and enjoy playing the available chapters with them. We have put in the effort to ensure direct navigation for EVERYTHING, including:
- Moving Jase directly with the joystick.
- Navigating menus, inventory items, spells, and hotspots using the D-Pad or joystick.
- Each minigame has its own custom implementation for a better experience.
- For those who enjoy moving the cursor and getting the classic Point-and-Click feelno worries! You can also use the joystick to move the cursor. Your choice!
Why are we focusing on other platforms instead of developing Chapter 2? In our last update, we mentioned that the game is available on mobile devices, and now we are targeting consoles. As an indie studio working part-time with a tight budget, Chapter 2 is taking more time than we would like. We don't want to compromise by shipping a low-quality product just to say we completed it. We want to continue the game with the same quality of humor, graphics, puzzles, and everything we've put our effort into so far. To speed up the process, we MUST reach a larger audience, which will eventually help increase our budget. Ultimately, this will assist us in finishing Chapter 2a milestone we are eager to achieveas well as the rest of the chapters. As you can see, we are still working on the game, and we will ship more chapters one way or another. This game will be completed as promised. I hope you understand our position. If not, I can only focus on making the game with passion Yakir

Porting and Publishing to Android and iOS
We now support touch screens! We have completed the porting process for both Android and iOS. Both the prologue and Chapter 1 are fully playable on mobile devices and tablets. This is our first time porting a game, and we're really excited about it. We hope you are too! Moreover, the game has also been self-published on both Google Play and the App Store. We can't wait to see you playing the game on iPhones, iPads, and various Android devices as well. Here's the links:

More Resolution Support
While the native resolution is Full HD (1080p), we have adjusted the game to support a wider range of resolutions, such as HD (720p), Quad HD, Wide Quad HD (1440p), and even 4K UHD! You can also play the game in different aspect ratios other than 16:9 (with black bars for the missing areas), such as 16:10, 4:3, 3:2, 18:9, 20:9, 21:9, and many more.
Achievements
Both the prologue and Chapter 1 now have Steam achievements. Go get them!
Languages

Optimization
We have managed to significantly reduce the build size from 3.6 GB to 1.7 GB without compromising the end result.
Chapter 2
Yes, we are working hard on this chapter. We expect it to be released in 6-8 months, so we appreciate your patience. We are a small team doing our best to create a great game. I can tell you that this chapter is going to be a lot of fun; we have already crafted an enjoyable story and introduced new mechanics. We've even built our own visual effects tool to make the game more appealing. Here are some work-in-progress sneak peeks:

While we work on Chapter 2, many players have requested additional languages. Going the extra mile, and with the support of our fans, we have successfully added French, Spanish, Czech, Japanese, and Polish translations for both the prologue and Chapter 1.
PS
This version includes not just translation but also many bug fixes
and support for other aspect ratio than 16:9 such 16:10 and 3:2
We are aiming to release Chapter 2 in a few months!
Happy new year everyone!

Version 4.3 include the following fixes: - Saving after finish prologue and then loading - game being stuck with save prompt and state of the game become messed up - Saving in potion room then loading, in certain case it's making Jase floating in the room - Sometimes when characters ending their animation they're changing their scale\direction for one frame (looks like a glitch) if these bugs stop you from making progress in chapter 1, you can restart the chapter from the main menu. IN THAT CASE - DO NOT USE YOUR OLD SAVE FILES!

Say no more! The new chapter of Plot of the Druid is here!!!!
Buy the game and leave us a nice review, LET'S DO THIS !!!!
[ 2022-11-01 12:54:53 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hurray!
A new chapter of Plot of the Druid will be released on 01.11. So save the date!
The game will be released in 'chapter-by-chapter' format, so it will appear in Steam as Early Access. Attaching a NEW cover
The new chapter will be followed with another 3 chapters as soon as they are ready. Since it can take time, I think it's good to give you a ready-to-play chapter. And for me - getting feedback during the dev, and more funding help going with.
A teaser of the upcoming chapter =>

The first 24 hours of the campaign have passed, and the project is already 33% funded.
That's a really good start! If we get to 60% of the base goal in the next 24 hours, Kickstarter will tag it as a 'Project We Love' and that means more help from THEIR side.
