Unfortunately, Dawnfolk just lost its “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating today. 🫤 If you haven’t left a review yet, it would mean a lot if you did. Thank you. 🙏

A contest is taking place on Dawnfolk: Snack The Cats! The last contest winner TolkaKiska designed a new tile for the game, the "Cat Village", which inspired that new challenge. Find all the cat villages and feed the cats! (link in bio and below)

I'm running a Community Contest on Dawnfolk. 🏆 You’ll have to build a castle on a chaotically generated map. And when I say chaotic… I mean everything wants you dead. More info on the discord and steam hub (link in bio).

Dawnfolk was just picked as one of TechDweeb's 20 favorite indie games to play on handhelds. 🔥 It really hits different when your own game shows up in a video from a YouTube channel you regularly watch, such a great feeling.

Not all reviews are straightforward… some are strange, poetic, and strangely heartwarming. I love this one. ❤️

Aaaaand Dawnfolk is out on Switch 1 & 2! 🎉 Unless it suddenly goes viral (it’s still sitting at ~100k wishlists on Steam), this will likely be my last time working on Dawnfolk. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who supported me. ❤️

I made collectible Steam cards for my game Dawnfolk! 🃏 Super happy with how they turned out. I love seeing those "high-res" versions of both characters!

After careful consideration, I’ve decided to rename my game Dawnfolk back to 'Lueur' because French is objectively superior. It’s elegant, sophisticated, and totally not confusing to English speakers. It just feels right. Merci for your support. 🥖
