Remastered edition of Home is Where One Starts..., now available
[ 2020-04-20 16:49:47 CET ] [ Original post ]
Surprise! For the past few months, I've been working on a major update for my first game, Home is Where One Starts.... I made this short, exploration title in 2015 to prove to myself I could finish a project, and it honestly did better than I anticipated (I wasn't expecting much, haha). It inspired me to make a new game that was slightly larger called The First Tree, and that release changed my life. I wanted to make sure this small game was up-to-date so future players could play it on their system without any legacy crash problems. There are countless updates, but here are the biggest one:
- 64-bit engine upgrade (helps with compatibility on all systems, especially MacOS)
- Input system totally revamped. All controllers should work.
- Added a run button! Whaaattt??
- Huge graphical overhaul
- Changed the objective of the game due to confusion. Now, it's simply "Find the 8 memories"
- Added a familiar creature from The First Tree (can you find it?)
- Countless bug fixes, performance optimizations, and quality of life improvements

“I remember when I was a little girl, waiting at the end of my driveway. I had already missed the school bus, but I stood there anyway… envying the birds.”
Home is Where One Starts... is a short, first-person exploration game in the same vein as Dear Esther or Gone Home. It’s an experience where every object has been carefully placed to tell a poignant story—a story about childhood, hope, and the miracle of memory. You play as a little girl from a broken home somewhere in the American South. Exploring the lonely countryside reveals clues and vignettes which help the player answer the question of where home is—and how one can get there.
