NORMENHILL - April 2025 Devlog

Widescreen resolution

In addition to working on the plot, fixing bugs that some complained about, I decided to hold a vote on whether the game should have the ability to change the aspect ratio and 55% voted for it, so I began to adjust some rooms to the 16:9 ratio.

I also decided to redraw some decorations and add new ones where they were not there before. And you probably noticed that I decided to make the game less gloomy than in the Act I version of 2024, making the environment a little brighter.


Collectibles

Also, one of the problems that players complained about is the emptiness of locations, I mean, in some secluded places in the game you can find some chests with bonuses, but in others there is nothing, like for example on the edge of the city, if you explore it before going along the story. I decided to add collectibles to such places, which are not required for completion and open up all sorts of concept art and other funny stuff.

And finally, something completely new

A screenshot of one of the rooms of the new forest location and grinning Avery. The forest location is still in the project and I need to change the grass in the background, and also add some different vegetation.


And that's all

Once again, I want to say thank you to all the followers and several letsplayers for their support. I will continue to share content about the game in posts here and on Bluesky and in videos on YouTube. I don't expect the next month to be very productive in this regard, because exams are coming up, but I will try to add new things to the game as best I can.

See you next time!

I just noticed one thing

Chill and Quiet - NORMENHILL Chapter 1 Act II Soundtrack

Madeline is the main protagonist of the mountain climbing platformer, Celeste. The game has been praised for its visuals, gameplay, and introspective narrative. The game's creator Maddy Thorson confirmed that Madeline is trans in 2020.

Bon on the way to Lidgard

Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."
