We’re only 30 days away from the release of Alex Hill: Whispers at White Oak Inn! This past month was exhausting trying to optimize the game as much as possible. I’ve been learning that game optimization is a skill all it’s own. I’m doing my best to optimize and take notes about how to do things better for future projects. I did take a week off for a much needed break, but I’m back at it getting prepared for release.

As we inch closer, I’ve been fixing/adding small things in the game. It’s nice having the bulk of the work done so that I can focus on polishing where it’s needed. I also realized that the Mac version of the demo was not working on Steam! My apologies to any Mac users who had issues. It’s been fixed now.

Leading up to the release date, Alex Hill: WWOI will be part of Steam Next Fest going on February 24-March 3 which will help the game get in front of more possible players. I noticed that the Steam discussion board for Alex Hill had activity! Steam doesn’t notify me when people post, so it was a pleasant surprise! It’s fun for me seeing the excitement for the game.

Creating a buzz will be important leading up to release so I have been contacting media sites to cover/review my game. if anyone knows a good site that writes about adventure games or games like Nancy Drew please let me know so I can let them know about Alex Hill!

Thank you for following along on this journey. It’s been an exciting one!
