Exophobia News

Hey everyone!

Fulqrum Publishing was kind enough to invite Exophobia to take part in this year's Lovecraftian Days celebration! Exophobia will be part of a selection of games featuring out of this world horrors, and what are Zarkonians if not "cuter" versions of Cthulhu? :P (minus the wings)

During the duration of the event Exophobia will be 25% off, so take this opportunity to experience it for the first time! Exophobia might be action and puzzle focused, but it's mood and scares are not to be overlooked!

Also, I will have something great to announce before the end of the week related to this sale, so stay tuned!
Best regards

Hey everyone!
Sorry for being a bit inactive lately, been focusing on a lot of other stuff (maybe news soon!)
So, Steam finally approved Exophobia to play on Steam deck, so you now see the green symbol on the handheld.

The best part was that I had to do nothing! The game has always been working well on Steam Deck, but I guess Steam goes at each game individually and approving it.

So yeah, have fun with Exophobia on the go!!

Hey everyone!
If you're still on the fence to buy Exophobia, it is now at 25% off for the first time! Also it is already Steam Deck approved if you like to play on handlheld ;)
Hope you have fun

Hey! First time posting since the new year! Hope you are all doing well and happy with how the year is going so far. For me it has been progressing at light speed, and excited with the potential of great things coming up this year.

I'm just taking the time to announce that Exophobia got nominated at Quirino Awards, for the category of Best Iberoamerican Videogame Animation!
I'm going to be honest, I wasn't expecting my pixel art to have a chance at competing with the other games in the same category. I submitted it just because, well, there usually isn't much portuguese representation in stuff like this, and it is an IBERIAN award show after all.
But as a big fan of the animation medium, as in cartoons, shorts and yes, videogames, this gives me a lot of motivation to push my art to new places :) even if I never felt like a full artist myself.



So here's some positive news about the game, with a tease of something more to come this year. I haven't been focusing too much on it yet (I'm taking my time with sorting all other aspects of my life first) but I'm slowly getting more and more excited to eventually update this game with new content!

So see you soon, and keep working on those new years resolutions!
Best,
Zarc

Hey!
Just a reminder that the Steam Winter Sale just started and it's another opportunity to grab the game with a 20% discount.
Perfect game for to keep you warm during festivities!

Also, last patch of the year everyone!
Just added japanese localization by Hiroshi Ashida, a fan of the game that offered to help!
If you would also like to translate the game to your language let me know.
I had to tweak some code to make it able to see japanese characters, but it looks awesome! Only thing is that you can't switch the font type with japanese language selected, unless you know legible and cool 'sci-fi' and 'pixel' japanese fonts I can use.

Also, explore the 3rd floor during Christmas eve and day for a little festive surprise :)
Happy holidays and see you next year!
