I was playing the game and I noticed a new character in the game, an invisible disembodied voice! When I was finally able to talk to it, I found out that it was my own message bottle character, only it was nearly invisible, being so tiny! An update of the Unity engine used by the game had caused some 3d models to import with different settings. So here's a new version for you, I added some other updates while I was at it.

Made game window resizeable.
Fixed bug in the crypt level where you could travel outside the playable area.
Fixed message bottle and wizard hat size, they were ever so tiny!
Mystery box server interface removed because of lack of use.

Hi everyone! Driftmoon has been updated. The reason is our daughter Laura played the game almost to the very end, learning a difficult new language, and very much wanted to see the game her parents had made. Unfortunately she found out that just before the end of the game all her companions had gone missing, and the game was unsolvable without them. Turns out that it was possible to leave all your companions behind in the warehouse in the docks region, if you quick traveled out of there using the world map. I believe the problem has been there for well over 11 years now, but it's finally fixed. We're very sorry about the bug Laura, thank you for pointing it out! Here's the changelog:

Fixed companions going missing when quick traveling from the Nomon Docs warehouse.
The little box companion is now unkillable.
No longer possible to drop to lava from the end game fortress.
Fix being able to quick travel out of the locked tavern at Northrop.

Announcing: Driftmoon Enchanted Edition!

Hi! This is Ville and Anne, the developers of Driftmoon. The time for releasing Driftmoon - the Enchanted edition - on multiple platforms is finally here, yay! We've had a ton of requests about getting Driftmoon on more platforms. Initially we started work on the Enchanted version right back in 2013 when the first version of Driftmoon was released, until life put a temporary stop to our plans (kids, illnesses, money issues, etc). But we never gave up on our dream of finishing the Enchanted version of Driftmoon. Finally, a year ago we had a chance to resume work on Driftmoon again, and we've worked nonstop ever since. For seven years you've been sending us countless encouraging messages, and also tips on how to improve Driftmoon, so happily we haven't run out of encouragement, or of ideas on what to do. Thanks everyone! What's new compared to the old Driftmoon?

Driftmoon now runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android.
We've added the Mystery Box, full of surprises for both you and your friends! :)
Major graphics update: better textures to look better on modern screens, lightmapped shadows, the lot!
User interface scales better: from your smallest screen to your living room TV. (still including the possibility to adjust text size)
Updated user interface, easier to use and looks better.
New characters, items and skills (through the Mystery Box and elsewhere too)
Tons of bugfixes, dialogue fixes, quest fixes and improvements.
Improved music, with an extra melody. All music by Gareth Meek - Thank you again, Gareth!
Gameplay enhancements: quest reminders, Silver feather counter (very useful!), and more.
The possibility to recover from a broken save (not that likely, but if your disk was full or something).
And more surprises! Because we most probably forgot to mention everything. :)
If you'd like to see how the old version plays, or are just feeling nostalgic, we made sure you can still access the vanilla Driftmoon. Open the Steam game properties window (right click on Driftmoon name in Steam client), go to the betas tab, and select vanilladriftmoon. Both versions have separate save games, so you don't need to worry about getting them mixed up. For the techinally minded among us, we've ported the old C++ Driftmoon to C# on the Unity platform. We think it was a good choice, although it was a huge amount of work. What's next for Ville and Anne? Now that Driftmoon is finished, we're hoping to make enough money from it to finally get the chance to focus full-time on making our own games. We already have a list of game ideas some 500 ideas long, but we've narrowed our next pick to two top candidates that sound the most tempting. We really hope you have fun playing! If you find any problems, please tell us. The easiest way to give us feedback is through the feedback button in the game menu. And most of all, we want to wish all of you good physical and mental health amidst this strange korona struggle that the world is currently going through. Stay safe!
