Hello, Poopsy here!
It's been a while, but I'm here mostly to assure you all that I'm alive and the game is still very much in production.
The truth is that I'm genuinely terrible at marketing and I prefer to focus my efforts on developing the game rather than promoting it.
Unfortunately, it also means that the general public awareness of The Lies We Tell Ourselves has been quite poor so far, which is a shame.
To partially address the issue, I've decided to participate in the upcoming June edition of the Steam Next Fest, which hopefully will provide the opportunity to showcase the game to a wider audience.
In preparation for the Next Fest, I've decided to take the current demo off the Steam page: I believe it has served its original purpose (collecting feedback) and by now it's not representative of the final game anymore. The good news is that I'll release an updated demo during the Next Fest, which will be slightly longer in terms of duration and will include the latest game features.
On the same note, I've finally got to update the Steam page with new screenshots, a better overall description section and the first gameplay trailer!
Speaking of updates, the game now features -among other things- full voice acting for the main character, gamepad support and full multilanguage support for UI and texts (including audio subtitles).
Finally, speaking of languages, the game has been been professionally translated from English to:
- French
- Italian
- German
- Spanish
- Portuguese (Brazilian)
- Turkish
- Japanese
However, all systems are in place to allow for further localizations, so if you're interested in having the game translated in your specific language and you have an excellent understanding of English, please get in touch with me and we might make it happen.
Besides, nothing beats not understanding an incomprehensible story than not understanding it in your OWN native language! ;)
Cheers,
Poopsy
