Look who stopped by to see the final stages of Foolish Mortals! @adventuregamegeek.bsky.social! We got to show him the prologue (he wanted to play more!) and we got to give him one of the first big boxes: "It's the best big box I've ever seen. Beautifully crafted and bursting with goodies!"

As soon as we pin it down, @aghotspot.bsky.social will be one of the first to know! :D

Big boxes DONE!

107 big boxes packed so far!

The final delivery for the big box content has arrived! On Wednesday, I'll be getting my parents round and setting up a production line of big box packing!

Unsere deutsche Steam-Seite ist jetzt online! Wir freuen uns zu verkünden, dass Foolish Mortals zum Release eine vollständige deutsche Übersetzung vom Point-and-Click-Adventure-Veteranen @marcelweyers.bsky.social (Return to Monkey Island, The Drifter, Loco Motive und viele mehr) haben wird!

I feel no shame that this spreadsheet had to be put together for the German translation 😎

Let me just say this: the sheer amount of meticulously designed paper-feelies for just one single game is absolutely bonkers (and only four of many more items are shown here). For me this is already one of the most impressive big box releases ever.

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!

Our newest Kickstarter update for August 2025 is up! Take a look at it at: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ink...

Based on my observations of Sophie, I think programming primarily involves shouting at your monitor until things work? #programming #indiedev

Our voice of Murphy, the incredible @ajlocascio.bsky.social, has just released an adorably spooky book - SPOOPS The Little Spirits of Halloween, & it's a must-have for anyone who loves Halloween! My own two little spooks were glued to the pages yesterday, & Oliver's reading it AGAIN tonight!

So we don't forget what Murphy expressions are available during our acting playthroughs, I'm printing off this cheat sheet to stick next to our monitor!

As if we don't have enough boxes filling up every spare space in our house, look what's arrived for our big boxes! 👻

Sophie and I have got our tickets! See all you fellow adventure fans in November! :D #AdvX25 @adventurex.bsky.social

We're excited to be part of #debutfestival launching tomorrow! Celebrating games by 1st time #gamedevs. FOOLISH MORTALS is a full-length, hand-drawn, point & click adventure game of the merry & macabre. What happened in Bellemore Manor thirty-three years ago...? #steam #indiedev

Francisco has done a WONDERFUL write-up of all the voice actors we've been incredibly fortunate to work with! It's a lot of work doing this much dialogue, but working with Francisco and Jess made it an absolutely delight. Sophie and I were sad when it ended!

Cast reveal finale! Bringing to life Murphy McCallan is the incredible AJ LoCascio @ajlocascio.bsky.social! AJ has voiced MARTY MCFLY in @telltalegames.bsky.social Back to the Future: The Game, HAN SOLO in LEGO Star Wars, GAMBIT in X-Men '97, & SO much more!! #indiegame #adventuregame #pointandclick

If you thought A Pirate I Was Meant To Be from The Curse of Monkey Island was an earworm, wait until you hear The Bellemore Boogie. I’ve had it in my head for weeks.

We're continuing to reveal our Foolish Mortals cast! Joey Sourlis @joeysourlis.com returns from our demo, joined by Phillip Sacramento @thenivoiceguy.bsky.social (Old Skies, Hob's Barrow, BROK the InvestiGator), and the stunning singing of Mirabel Ukpabio! Tomorrow: Murphy McCallan!

Excited to be joining the fright fest 👻

And today, another reveal of our Foolish Mortals cast! Andy Mack is back! Joined by the incredible Rhiannon Moushall @rsmoushall.bsky.social (Old Skies, The Drifter, Prim, 3 Minutes to Midnight), and Will de Renzy-Martin @willvoice.it (Old Skies, Loco Motive, Hob's Barrow).

Rosewater, my Wild West adventure game, has been out nearly 4 months and has been very well-received! But I also feel like it’s reached a fraction of its potential audience. If you can spare a repost and help spread the word, it would be greatly appreciated! www.grundislav.games/Rosewater.html

We're continuing to reveal our FM cast! Returning from our demo is Gerald Hill @voicesofgee.com, plus the incredible Tara Langella @taralangellava.bsky.social, and introducing Robin Hardwidge (who just might be the 2.0 version of Lucy Dreaming developer Tom Hardwidge @tallstorygames.bsky.social)!

Today we're starting to reveal our Foolish Mortals cast! The first three? James Brown Jr., Marilena Gant, and returning from the demo, Matt Curtis @micthematt.com (Crowns & Pawns, The Hand of Glory, Unforeseen Incidents). Check in each day until Thursday for more!

We just hit a huge milestone! Our voice director & producer @grundislav.games just let me know that ALL the dialogue is cut up and ready to import! Our game is ready to talk!

Foolish Mortals is on @aghotspot.bsky.social's hotly anticipated list! 👻

Only a few days left to apply to speak or exhibit your game/narrative project in London this November at #AdvX25! You have until midnight Monday 14 July. Check adventurexpo.org for the details and links to the application forms!

What's an adventure game without an interactive song..? Your ticket awaits!

I am 150 sound effects into sourcing roughly 300 sound effects for the game! But listening to thirty different 'thunk' sound effects on FreeSound is making me loopy..!

We have big boxes! Read all about them in our newest Kickstarter update: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ink...

Yes!! I'm so pleased to read this!

And a huge thank you to Francisco and Jess for helping us make this happen!

We are part of Indie Assemble Steam Festival! Running May 5–11, take a look at more than 1000 indie games just like Foolish Mortals! store.steampowered.com/app/1848440/... #indieassemble #indiedev #steam #adventuregame #adventuregames #pointandclick

Last call for Foolish Mortals newspaper headlines! We're recording Murphy McCallan's dialogue on MONDAY, so if you'd like your newspaper headline to appear in the game, head to the Foolish Mortals Store on our website before SUNDAY!

Another voice recording session with the incredible @grundislavgames.bsky.social done! Now only three actors left to record! ... Although one of them is Murphy, and his 4k+ lines might take a while!

Foolish Mortals is in one of our testers' latest blog posts! "I’ve had this going on in the background since last year and, in my personal opinion, it is shaping up to be one of the best point and click adventure games I have ever played, and I’ve played a few crackers." 💚

Sophie had to hide herself off-camera at one point because she was laughing too much and didn't want to distract the voice actor!

Eighteen characters now recorded and in the bag for Foolish Mortals - we've reached half way!

It's great to be back in the director's chair! Foolish Mortals has some great writing and quirky characters (not to mention a fantastic cast) And it's now the second @sagaftra.org game I've directed!

The first nine characters for Foolish Mortals are now recorded! With a huge thanks to @grundislavgames.bsky.social and Jess Haskins (thegameeditors.com) for voice producing the game, and laughing at the jokes I've written.

Big moment just now - we have exported the game's script ready for dialogue recording to start tomorrow! Foolish Mortals has 7,289 lines of dialogue. 💀

And get Paul to test your game! :) pauljamesgamestesting.com

Thank you so much! :D
