| A Personal Update

I wanted to take a moment to share some exciting news that’s been keeping me busy lately. I’ve been hard at work on my own game, HalfMoon Adventures. Being a solo developer has been both challenging and incredibly rewarding, and I’m thrilled to announce that the Steam page for HalfMoon Adventures is now live!

HalfMoon Adventures is a blend of action, adventure, and strategy where you play as a shop owner by day, selling maps and gear to adventurers. By night, you explore those very same dungeons to uncover secrets and treasures. The game combines exploration with the strategic elements of managing a successful shop.

Current Progress and What’s Next

I’m targeting an early 2025 release, and things are moving along nicely. Right now, I'm focusing on refining the gameplay mechanics and adding new content. As an solo developer, there is a lot to do, but seeing it all come together is very exciting.

How You Can Help

If you’re interested in following along and supporting the development of HalfMoon Adventures, I’d greatly appreciate it if you could add the game to your Steam wishlist. This not only helps me gauge interest but also ensures that you’ll be notified about all future updates.

Stay tuned, and thanks for being part of this journey with me.

| What to Listen to This Week?

I recommend listening to the “Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts OST”. It's a wonderful soundtrack that might bring back some nice gaming memories. You can listen to it here:
