Thanks to @edmundito.com and his coding wizardry, I now have a cool magnifying glass effect in my game. Doing little tricks like this in AGS is always fun.

It's such a fun game with a lot of heart and incredible VO work. It's also very technically impressive (those closing doors!) and gives players a lot of freedom. Get it now so on the 5 year anniversary you can say, "I played it when it came out." Give future you some clout in advance.

Today marks six months since Rosewater’s release! It seems both like it was yesterday and an eternity ago. If you haven’t played it yet, now’s a great time!

I made a stupid oversight and painted something over an existing layer, losing 3 hours worth of work. I swore, but decided to just go right back and redo what I’d lost, vowing to make it look better this time. So: don’t let mistakes get you down (and also make sure to back up work constantly)

Nearly 6 months after release, Rosewater finally had its first 0 units sold on Steam day yesterday. BUT it’s also only a couple of hundred units away from hitting Lamplight City’s one year record, so I’m not too upset :)

Fancy sporting some Rosewater threads? Exclusive merch on the adventure game merch store. adventuregamemerch.com/collections/...

If you can read french, I have written an article about this game. It is available on Bluesky as a thread (bsky.app/profile/mage...) or on Medium (medium.com/@mageicia/ro...).

Despite still being in the design phase of my new adventure game, I've somehow managed to draw 5 backgrounds. Procrastinating by doing other work is real.

Good news, everyone! 🔥🦇 Cabernet / Party for Introverts merch is now available at The Adventure Game Merch Store! 🧛‍♀️ Shirts, cups, hats, hoodies and more here: adventuregamemerch.com/collections/...

I think it's becoming clear that if you like indie creators, you're going to need to support them any way you can. And that doesn't mean money, just spreading worth of mouth can be powerful as well.

A wonderful discussion of Rosewater! Thanks so much @mattaukamp.bsky.social and @pushinguproses.bsky.social for the kind words :) youtu.be/rcdNLogVE9Y?...

This year has been AMAZING for point & click adventures. Rosewater, The Drifter, Old Skies, Foolish Mortals, Elroy and the Aliens, and Kathy Rain 2, among plenty of others. So yeah, they made a comeback already.

I finally got around to make a new video about all the new adventures I've played through in recent times. 😄 www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmj8... @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social @clifftopgames.bsky.social @grundislav.games @beyondbooleans.bsky.social @perfectlyparano.bsky.social @postmodernadv.bsky.social

ADVENTURE MERCH @zidandzniw.bsky.social @grundislav.games #ZniwAdventure #LamplightCity #Rosewater

Big fan of the main character of the wild west adventure game Rosewater, Harley Leger. Charming performance, really fun character, really feels like an older protagonist.

My 2025 @narrascope.org talk is up! I talk about The Crimson Diamond's inspirations, development, and how I got the word out. youtu.be/xSAKHOy9jyo?...

While I try not to think about where I'm going to store these, look what's arrived for the big boxes and KS rewards!

Monday throwback: Episode 4 of my indie developer interview series highlighted Grundislav Games / Francisco González, the developer of Lamplight City and Rosewater, among many other point & click games. Read it here: www.gtogg.com/News/en/Insi... #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #pointandclick

Hearing Dave Fennoy’s voice pop up in Rosewater by @grundislav.games is just so lovely. I’d recognize that voice anywhere! (But mostly from Curse of Monkey Island and King’s Quest 6!)

I'm so used to posting game art that it's very hard to resist doing it because I don't want to reveal what it is I'm working on just yet.

His game is not "good" it's a modern masterpiece and you should buy and share your favorite moments! ❤️

This year, I have played only two Point'n Click, Old Skies and Rosewater, but I like both of them 🙂. A lot of promising adventure games are being released these last years 🙂.

I recommend #Rosewater by @grundislav.games, #OldSkies by @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social, and #Expelled! by @inkle.co. 👍 All different to each other, but all top of their class. (Expelled! especially 😉)

The final episode of my playthrough of @grundislav.games's Rosewater is now up on YouTube! You should definitely check it out! It’s a charming hang with a great cast of characters, and easily one of my favorite modern point-and-click adventures.

I'm not saying Rosewater is perfect because it's the first video game that actually put me in the credits, but I AM saying that's an exceptional reason to buy a copy for your library. 😁 store.steampowered.com/app/1226670/...

Took a break from writing up my design document to draw a couple of backgrounds and do a tiny bit of animating. I guess you could say I'm a fan of how the next game's going to look.

All three of these games are great, you should by them, and then also you should leave a review.

Narrascope talks are up! Here’s one I did with @jesshaskins.bsky.social about running a scenario in Rosewater as a TTRPG, and the Twine model she built to test the companion relationship mechanic: youtu.be/4l5YMIuQoRo?...
