[h3]We're a part of Steam's NextFest June 2023![/h3]

It's really exciting for us to be along side such an exciting selection of up-coming games and demos!
Obviously our demo went live with our Wholesome Direct announcement- HOWEVER! For the duration of NextFest, we'll be broadcasting a bunch of playthroughs and commentary from the developers (us)!

🔴 We recorded all of the streams in the front of our shop! So we get interrupted a little bit and you can see some of the books and things on the shelves. The streams involve Jack, Sam, Terry & some cameos from people wandering through the studio.

NextFest runs from June 19 - June 26 @ 10:00AM Pacific so be sure to watch us talk a bunch.

🌦️ Demo Update Notes:
- Fix bug preventing players from starting the game if their device has a touchscreen
- Fix Birch registering the wrong item as their favourite thing
- Prevent Dragoljub from trying to hold the tram handle
- Allow players to submit menu elements with Enter and Space button
- Update dialogue with improved hints for some quests and favourite things
- Fix some bugs that occur when navigating menus with a mouse

We've been working tirelessly for months with a huge amount of effort from the whole team to get this all together in time.

There is still heaps to do on the game and we can't wait to share all of the new and expanded content. We will obviously share more in the later dates. But for now, please enjoy our little silly demo, flick us a Follow/Wishlist too (we hear they are important) .

A big shout out to Sam, Cole, Jack, Jarod, Mickey, Ryan, Alice, Gleeson, Dan, KPOW, House House, Wholesome Direct, VicScreen, Guck & Shape Shop. Without their support we wouldn't be here xo.

We're going to have a little rest and get stuck into the next thing soon!

Thank you all for the kind words, they honestly mean the world to us. ❤️❤️❤️

We hope you all can tune in and watch. Who knows what we'll be announcing! Is the game actually cancelled? Will it get released before 2050? Did we pivot back to pizza again? Only one way to find out!

For the rest of the week (until Sunday 23rd of April), we'll be answering any of your silly questions about our game Wood & Weather. Post a question and we'll get back with an answer! 🍃

👉 Head over to our Steam Discussions and look for the 'Developer AMA' section.

Some things to keep in mind:

• If we don't want to/or can't answer a question for various reasons, we wont.
  
• The game is still in development, so some of this (ref: 'Pizza Pivot') will probably change. Please don't hold us too tightly too our word! Game dev is hard!
• If the question (or similar) has already been asked, we'll probably give it a miss.
  
• Be cool and don't be mean.
  
• Once the AMA is over, we'll lock the Discussion and go back to making the game.
  

Thanks heaps! Look forward to answering all of your questions!
