Hello all!
As you can see, I have decided to upload my visual novel A Great Hunger to Steam! It was originally made for the Spooktober 5th Annual VN Jam in 2023 and is a short Dark Fantasy story set in an already existing universe, but can still be experienced as a standalone story. Despite its length (some people in the jam were able to create projects with 30k+ words oh my word), I still very much love what I was able to make and would like to share it with a wider audience.
(Although I personally don't think this takes away from the overall experience of the game, please know that I was a solo dev working on this project.)
Like all Steam products, I must wait a minimum of 2 weeks before I can post the game publicly, so I'll be tweaking a few things in preparation for release! You can buy the game for 2.99 USD on my itchio right now if you'd like (also under the name: GoldieClaws), or you can wait until it's on Steam (the price is also fully intended to be the same).
Two major features I'd like to implement are a CG gallery and more professional end screens now I have a proper understanding of how to code both! This is mostly thanks to another visual novel project I have been working on, as well as tutorials from Zeil Learnings on Youtube; which I would certainly recommend for any fellow VN devs! And, just for fun, I have also implemented Steam achievements. They're one of the reasons I like to play games on Steam, as silly as that sounds haha. Perhaps that's because I grew up on Playstation.
Anyway, that is all! I will do my best to make sure to keep people updated here (and not just on my Tumblr & Twitter) but if you have any issues/questions, please do contact me on those two sites! It is the best way to get a quick response from myself.
Finally, I do have a Patreon that I am very active on! I post all of my assets on there for all my projects so if you ever want to have early access to what I'm working on, please consider checking out my page.
Thanks for reading!
