- v2.1: quick & dirty fix for windowed problems - 21 May 2024
Some users reported that they couldn't click on anything after switching from fullscreen to windowed mode. I sadly can't seem to fix the problem in itself (probably a Unity bug) but I added a keyboard shortcut, CTRL+R (or CMD+R on Mac) that will reset video settings restoring fullscreen. This should allow players suffering from this problem to keep playing the game (albeit not in windowed mode, sorry again)
- TWoAF wins accolade for best adventure game at the GDWC - 16 March 2024
The Game Development World Championship Winter 2023 season recently announced its winners, and The Will of Arthur Flabbington won the Accolade for best adventure game! I even got a shiny plaque for that! https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GIkOwtvXYAA0V7A?format=jpg&name=large I still find it hard to believe how well received the game has been, and this has motivated me to get back to work on a new adventure. Thanks for supporting indie games and adventure games, and please consider leaving a review if you liked the game. Not only I love to read your feedback, but also reviews are an actual way of supporting the game, as more reviews means increased visibility on the platform. It takes just a minute, but it makes a big difference 😁 And now, on to the next project 💪
- v2.0.1 - 10 March 2024
Minor bugfixes - I'd tell more but one of them is a bit of a spoiler 😁
- TWoAF joins the NiceGameHints catalogue - 23 February 2024
I see two main problems with walkthroughs: first of all, they're linear. And most adventure games aren't. If you're stuck in a puzzle you often end up reading solutions for stuff you haven't done yet before reaching the hint you needed. And second, they often tell you what to do instead of explaining why. NiceGameHints tries to fight these problem in an elegant way: a website dedicated to offering low-spoiler hints and walkthroughs where everything is incremental and goal-oriented. I'm happy to announce that they have an entry for The Will of Arthur Flabbington! Often the solution to a hard puzzle is just a gentle nudge away. I love when you ask in the forums, but if you want a quicker response, go visit https://www.nicegamehints.com/guide/will-of-arthur-flabbington

- v1.1 - a new map color scheme! - 4 December 2023
A few days ago Google Maps changed its color scheme and... well, since my game has a map whose colors reflect that, I didn't want it to be obsolete after not even one month! https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GAWduckWMAACruL?format=png&name=large But since I personally don't like the new colors, I also left the option to switch back to the traditional color scheme in the "Extra" category 😁
- Nominate TWoAF for the Steam Awards! - 21 November 2023
Adventure games are all about story. Well, also puzzles. And if you played The Will of Arthur Flabbington, you know this game is a lot into those... but still, there is a story. If you grew fond of the characters, and their relationships, and felt a bit of emptiness inside when the game was over, please show your appreciation by nominating The Will of Arthur Flabbington for the Outstanding Story-Rich Game award 2023. Or the Best Game You Suck At award if you think this game is too difficult 😁. Either way, your support is vital for this game!
