NORMENHILL Chapter 1 "Your New Look" Act I


1 month ago

"Will the game be available on mobiles?"

This is one of the most frequently asked questions that my audience never seems to leave me alone with (mostly from the Russian-speaking audience (and a couple of my friends)). It seems it's worth listening to.


SO BE IT, I'll release Chapter One (the first act of it for now, but the full version will come later) on phones, but I'm unsure about the rest.

BUT! You won't be able to download it from the Play Store or the App Store because releasing a game there costs money, and my budget is two sandwiches, so the release will be on GameJolt and Itch io, as always. As for why I was so reluctant to release it on mobile, I wrote about it on the game's page on GameJolt, but mobile gaming itself is something I don't even want to touch these days. You all see a bunch of junk, slapdashed together using models downloaded from the first website I came across, that somehow managed to rack up tons of downloads, or games with intrusive donations. And yes, I'm sick of that too. We used to have Angry Birds, Minions Rush, and mobile versions of FNAF... Now, that service has become a collection of trash (mostly).

Well, anyway, I already said it: if you want Normenhill on your phone, I'll make it sometime early next year. But again, don't look for it in the Play Market or the App Store; it'll be on GameJolt and Itch io. (By the way, I noticed that some Undertale fan games that were once available for download on the Play Market seem to have disappeared (and they were actually pretty high-quality games), so maybe that will be an additional reason to look for something high-quality elsewhere.)

10 Unused Normenhill Music Tracks (2021-2025) Although I'd like to use some of them in future Acts and Chapters of the game. (Some of them may not sound good, but these were my first tracks, so what's surprising?)

Hey, guys!

Today I'd like to announce a new addition to the team, and in fact, the creation of a team of sorts, as I've been doing everything solo before.

Happy Devruary! Devruary Day 4 celebrates @ElPichon ! They're just a bird who likes to draw! They're also the developer behind The Bunny Graveyard II and Chunky JUMP!. We also have a question for the devs of Game Jolt: How Did You Learn Game Dev?

Well, guys, hoi everyone again! I had a satisfying Birthday today, thanks to it being as chill as possible.
