- Announcing Instants - build & decorate cute photo albums - 16 August 2024
Hi everyone, Endflame here 👋 As part of today’s Wholesome Games Steam event, we’re so excited to finally share what we’ve been working on with a brand-new trailer! Instants is a game about piecing together a family's life story by sorting through and selecting family photographs for a photo album. You can decorate the photo albums with stickers, coloured pens, sparkles and, very importantly, Washi tape (we love washi tape!). Okay, we know that's not what some of you were expecting of our next game. It's not Ikai 2. It's a game to help you relax after a long day purifying shrines. If you are into this kind of games, please let us know what you think of the trailer and wishlist the game - it really does make all the difference. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2948560/Instants/ That’s it for now, but we’ll be back soon with updates and new things to share.

- Ikai Patch v1.2.1 - 1 April 2022
Hello everyone, Just wanted to inform you of the things we improved for this patch: Option to disable headbob The sticks of the well are easier to identify between the bones Fixed an issue where players that played the very first prototype on Itch.io and clicked continue the first time they play the game, resulted in a corrupted save file. Minor bugfixing Thank you so much for your continued support. If you encounter any bugs or have feedback, please let us know!
- Demo Update v1.6 - 15 October 2021
Hello everyone, We have made some changes to the demo thanks to the feedback of the players in order to improve the experience. OPTIMIZATION: the game should run much smoother and at a higher frame rate than before. If you are still experiencing low frame rates, consider lowering the shadows quality, this should help considerably. DRAWING: ok, it was too hard to draw the seal and very difficult with gamepad, sorry ːsteamsadː Now, it's easier to do it correctly and doesn't require that much precision. Also, the precision needed with gamepad is different than with mouse. It won't require that much precision with gamepad. MINOR BUGFIXING: that's it, no more bugs. Thanks to everyone that played the demo and to everyone that gave us feedback to improve the final game. We hope that these fixes address the main issues of the demo and help improving the experience. If you encounter any bugs or…
