Castaway Trails | Play the Demo!

The Castaway Trails demo is now available! store.steampowered.com/app/3883020/... I'm also participating in the “Party-Based RPG” festival. I hope you like it! #gamedev #indiedev

Another tool for the project: a dungeon previewer 🗺️ I change the settings and instantly see what the algorithm will generate. 🏰 Fortresses: large and labyrinthine ⛺ Bandit camps: small and straightforward #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d #proceduralgeneration

I built a tool to generate random backgrounds 🎨 It imports layers from Aseprite into Unity, I choose how many elements I want… and it starts generating! ✨ #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d #aseprite

A locked door? 🚪 Time to explore the dungeon in search of the key 🗝️ …and come back to find out what’s hiding on the other side 👀 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

I'm working on dungeons! 🏰 You'll find better loot… but also dangerous challenges ⚔ Some areas will be locked, and you'll have to find the key somewhere inside the dungeon 🗝 And to test them, I made a debug menu with a minimap (plus a few other tricks 🤓) #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Every week, you'll have to pay your fellow mercenaries' wages. 💰 If you manage to earn their trust, you can negotiate to get them to stop charging... but don't expect them to easily agree to give up their pay. #gamedev #indiedev

Without wood, there's no fire and no camp. 🔥 Chop down trees, gather resources, and get ready to survive throughout the adventure. 🌲🪓 #gamedev #indiedev #wishlistwednesday

Some ancient trees have lost their healing power 🌳 Restore them and they'll awaken like this ✨ From then on, you can rest and heal for free whenever you return. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Each game begins in a different world. The map is procedurally generated, featuring unique paths, locations to discover, and dangers to overcome as you explore. #gamedev #indiedev

Skills improve with practice… or with a few coins. Use your skills during the adventure or train with masters to level up much faster. #gamedev #indiedev

New demo version is out! 🎉 ⚖ Alignment: your companions react to your moral choices… and may leave the party 🛡 Party order: your position decides who enemies attack Hope you enjoy it! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

The Castaway Trails demo is still available! It now includes the game's initial progression and a first look at the main story. If you decide to give it a try, I'd love to hear what you think! #gamedev #indiedev

Offensive spells pierce the enemy's armor… but they don't always hit. Each one uses a different attribute, so choosing the right spell can decide the outcome of the battle. #gamedev #indiedev

Your party members judge every moral decision you make 👀 If you let them down too many times… they might leave the party💔 Some get so mad that they’ll even attack you! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

A boy is picking mushrooms for his grandma's dinner… but are they edible? 🍄 🧠 Use your wits to find out 🎒 Give him some mushrooms from your stash 👿 Walk away and leave him to fend for himself What would you do? #gamedev #indiedev #wishlistwednesday

I think the old dialogue panel took up too much space on the screen. What do you think? #gamedev #indiedev

I tried to help a juggler using my Dexterity. It turns out my Dexterity had other plans 🤹💥 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Creating a very important animation for a very important in-game event. #gamedev #indiedev

it won’t stay still! #ドット絵 #pixelart #kiwisuper6

Sometimes you can use attributes (like strength) to solve problems. In this case, a shepherd needs help holding down a sheep so it can be sheared. But be careful! If you fail the roll, you'll take a tumble. #gamedev #indiedev

Sometimes you'll find buried treasures waiting to be discovered But just finding them isn't enough: make sure to bring a shovel to dig up their rewards #gamedev #indiedev

Kick someone out of the party? Be careful 👀 Depending on their personality (or if you owe them money), they might leave quietly… or stand up to you in a fight. ⚔️ #gamedev #indiedev

At camp, you can cook delicious meals that boost your characters' morale A good meal can make all the difference… as long as the cook doesn't end up serving something inedible #gamedev #indiedev

In the levels, you'll find objects you can interact with. Some will let you obtain resources, tools, and other useful items that will help you throughout your adventure. #gamedev #indiedev

In the inns and villages, you'll find quests that will put your party to the test. Completing them is the best way to earn gold, experience, and valuable items. #gamedev #indiedev

Demo version 0.2.1 is now live! You can check the patch notes here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/388... #gamedev #indiedev

1,000 wishlists! Thank you so much for your support. I'll be releasing a patch soon to improve the demo based on the feedback you've given me. 🙇‍♂️ #gamedev #indiedev

Fun fact: In the current demo, there's a bug that lets you equip items that are normally off-limits to your class. Until I patch it in a few days, you can play as a mage in heavy armor, and even wield a spear! #gamedev #indiedev

Small improvement coming in the next patch 👀 Equipment items will now show these icons so you can quickly see which ones are upgrades for the selected character. And if they already have the exact same item equipped, an = will appear.

Use the resources you find to craft new items. Good preparation can be the key to your party's survival. #gamedev #indiedev

Oh my gosh... Hi, Taiwan! 👋 I didn't expect to see so many wishlists from there. Thank you so much! ❤️ #gamedev #indiedev

Here are some of the places you can visit in the Castaway Trails demo #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

It looks like participating in Steam's events (such as the Party-Based that is running right now) is a good way to gather wishlists! Check the festival out here: store.steampowered.com/category/rpg... #gamedev #indiedev

Yesterday, they showed the trailer for Castaway Trails on Devinitive Showcase in Madrid. It's an honor to have been part of this great event. Thank you! #devINITIVEShowcase #gamedev #indiedev

4 days until #WelcomeToMars9 launch 🚀 Have you already tried our demo on Steam? Remember to hit the wishlist button on #NintendoSwitch & #Steam and get ready for the #adventuregame nintendo.com/us/store/produ… nintendo.com/es-es/Juegos/P��� store.steampowered.com/app/2434330/We… #indiegame

Camping out comes with its risks. 🏕️ While the party sleeps, you could come under a surprise attack. You can have one of your characters stand guard to reduce the risk... but you can never eliminate it entirely. #gamedev #indiedev

This week I'll be releasing the Castaway Trails demo! I've included locations that weren't in the playtest. I hope you like them! #gamedev #indiedev

At inns, you can spend more gold to get a better room. The more comfortable the room is, the more rested your party will be, and the better their chances of getting a good night's sleep. #gamedev #indiedev

As they travel, the party members will talk among themselves about all kinds of topics. Their conversations and reactions can also give you clues about what they need. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

I've added ray tracing to Castaway Trails. 👀Well... pixel tracing. Now the water reflects the world around it 🌊 #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Cloaks are perfect for keeping you dry. Plus, they come in different colors to give your character a personal touch! #gamedev #indiedev

Need better gear for your adventure? Weapon shops are the perfect place to buy new weapons and armor… and sell anything you no longer need. #gamedev #indiedev

I'm making some changes to the game's dialogue system. What do you think? I still need to add sound effects to the new version. #gamedev #indiedev

Did you know you can now play Castaway Trails? If you like turn-based RPGs, putting together a group of adventurers, and NPCs with their own personalities, the open playtest is now available on Steam! #gamedev #indiedev
