- Video Game Fables DLC - "Nightmare Arena" + Sticker collecting update! - 23 October 2022
Hello friends, I'd like to introduce you to the first DLC for Video Game Fables - "Nightmare Arena"! Aru, Nate, and Tator are whisked away to a dimension of nightmares where they meet the Scream Screen and the Concierge. Enter the Nightmare Arena and battle through over 40 challenging battles with stronger, twisted nightmare versions of enemies you've encountered. There may even be a familiar face at the end as an incredibly difficult superboss! https://i.imgur.com/3HrdbOD.png Get awesome prizes including new summon skills that deal damage to all enemies. You can use these items and skills in the normal world as well! Battles have a limited amount of XP you can spend so you can't just grind your way to the top. Guess it's time to get good! Along with this DLC there will be a free update to the base game that includes a huge new feature...A STICKER COLLECTION! You can collect stickers fr…
- Patch notes v1.0.2.b1 (7/27/2022) - 27 July 2022
Hello friends, I've released an update that gives you music and sound effect volume control from the System Options menu! WHAT'S NEW? Added music control and volume control sliders in the System Options Menu. You can access the System Options menu by opening your Misc. Menu (see controls in lower right corner of screen to see how to open that) and selecting System Options during gameplay. You can also access System Options on the main menu before you load your game by pressing the button indicated in the lower right corner of the screen there. There is now an indicator in the Monstrocomicon of how to rotate the models. You've actually always been able to do this, it was just a secret hehe. Remember if you have any other issues post them in the Bug Reports forum on the Steam Discussions: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1577690/discussions/2/ Don't forget to help Video Game Fables grow wit…
- Patch notes v1.0.1.b5 (7/26/2022) - 26 July 2022
Hey friends, here's an update that fixed Steam achievements. WHAT'S BEEN FIXED? There was an issue with Steam achievements where if you returned to the main menu via the Misc. Menu or through the Retry menu after losing a battle and then loaded save data, you would not receive any Steam achievements until you closed the game and opened it back up. That issue is now resolved. To make things easier for you, I've also added in a feature where when you load a save file it will retroactively go through and give you any missed Steam achievements that you should have earned up to that point in that save file. So all you have to do is (after you update the game) load your save file and you should be all caught up on Steam achievements. Note: There are three Steam achievements that will not retroactively activate when you load your game. These are the ones for leveling up to 10, 20, and 30. You…
- Patch notes v1.0.1.b4 (7/19/2022) - 19 July 2022
Hello friends! I've released a small update that fixes some things. WHAT'S BEEN FIXED? The issue addressed here has been resolved: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1577690/discussions/2/3466099883224800886/ In the "house dungeon" a character required you to bring her three items. This has been changed so she now requires you to fight a battle, and as a result the previous issue has been fixed. Fixed an issue with 3 achievements not being obtainable: Finishing the "autumn level" 2 separate achievements from the final part of the game Note: If you have already finished the "autumn level" or if you have already finished the game and gotten the star on your save file (indicating you've finished the game), all you have to do is load that save file and it should give you the respective achievements retroactively. Fixed an issue where if you loaded a save file, returned to the main menu, then lo…
- Video Game Fables - Patch notes v1.0.1.b2 (7/18/2022) - 18 July 2022
Hello friends! I hope you're all having a good time with Video Game Fables. Thank you so much for buying the game. I've released a small update that addresses a few issues and adds a few new things. WHAT'S NEW? You can now transfer save data from the demo to the full version. If you have save data from the demo, it will prompt you (only one time!) when you start the full version of the game and ask if you would like to transfer data from the demo. Everyone will get this prompt once, even if you've been playing the full version, if you have demo save data. Don't worry, it's set up in a way that it should not overwrite any existing data in the full version, it will merely insert demo save data into empty slots in the full version. Feel free to decline the transfer if you're not comfortable with that. WHAT'S BEEN CHANGED? Added some coins to a section in the final area to make it more obvi…
- Welcome to Video Game Fables! - 17 July 2022
HELLO FRIENDS! I can't believe we're finally here - Video Game Fables is officially released! I've been working on this game for years by myself, so to see it finally become available as a real game today is so surreal, a bit anxiety-inducing, but mostly exciting.

- Version 0.1.53 update patch notes - 19 June 2022
Hello, friends! If you found this from Steam Next Fest, welcome, and thanks for checking out Video Game Fables. I updated the demo to version 0.1.53. As always, if there are any issues, please let me know on the discussion board and I'll fix it as soon as possible. Discussion Board: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1577690/discussions/1/ WHAT'S BEEN FIXED? Screen overlay UI such as the tutorials and the Monstrocomicon should now work properly on 720p resolution. WHAT'S STILL NEEDS TO BE FIXED? There may be some issues with dialog message box position (and possibly some other UI) for resolutions that are not a 16:9 resolution. The game is designed mainly for a 16:9 resolution, so you may encounter some minor issues with any other aspect ratio.

- Video Game Fables - New demo soft launch - 18 February 2022
Hey friends, as a follow up to my previous announcement in December about an upcoming demo, I wanted to let you all know that I did release that new demo a little while ago. I was doing a soft launch, so I didn't make a formal announcement about it until now. This new demo will let you play through the game from the very beginning all the way through the first dungeon. Steam should automatically update your demo (it probably already did it automatically a while ago). If you have any issues with the demo, post in the Demo Feedback discussion forum on the store page: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1577690/discussions/1/ Stay tuned for more updates coming in the next couple months. I'm on a good track to release Video Game Fables in the first half of 2022! P.S. As always, I greatly appreciate you guys spreading the word by sharing on social media, telling your friends, sharing in Discord g…
- New demo coming soon! (And a dev update) - 11 December 2021
Dev update Hello friends, thank you so much for your interest in Video Game Fables I appreciate your patience for development. It's hard as a solo indie dev, but I'm working constantly to get this adventure finished to share with all of you. I still don't have a release date planned, but it should be in the first half of 2022. The game is very far along. Everything up to the final "dungeon" of the game is fully functional and pretty much done. The cutscenes, enemies, enemy skill animations, levels, etc. are all there. So at this point it's a lot of refinement and finishing the final area, the bosses there, and the ending of the game. Like I said, it's hard making a game by myself and with no funding. So my request for you guys is to help me get the game out there. Post about it on social media, share it with friends in Discord groups, stream the demo on Twitch, wishlist it, etc. I great…
