- 5 Days Left - 8 September 2024
5 Days left until Nocturnals releases on Friday 13th! I'm super excited to see what you guys think of the game! It's been a long time coming and it almost doesn't feel real to think that the game is finally going to be released... The steam build got approved which is awesome! All that's left for me to do now is search for bugs and iron out some little details. We'll be posting more on the Cowboy Toad Games instagram @CowboyToadGames this coming week, including a Q&A with the voice actors and potentially a giveaway for a copy of the game! This is all managed by Becca (who also voices Maggie!) so a big thank you to her for that! Once again I brought back this beautiful fanart by Tam for the cover art. Check them out!
- September Release Date (+ 30,000 Wishlists!) - 16 July 2024
Hi everyone! I hope everyone's summers have been good so far. I went to South America in June/July and volunteered at a monkey sanctuary which was an amazing experience, and my Spanish has improved significantly because of it. I'm happy to announce that the game will be released in September 2024 as long as I don't run into any major problems or issues during the last stages of development. I'm also happy to say that the game has reached over 30,000 Wishlist's on steam, this is an incredible achievement and I'm so proud and thankful to everyone! As for pricing, I know I've been keeping it a secret so far but only because I hadn't quite figured out a good price yet. I'm thinking it will be around $7.99 (£6.99) - and other prices for different currencies will be adjusted fairly. I'm hoping to release one last trailer before launch, and I've acquired the rights to a really cool song by an…

Now, less than a month later, I can't believe I'm able to thank you for 4,000! I'm so grateful to every single one of you for reading, interacting, and leaving feedback. Even the negative comments have been helpful, and I'm so happy you guys are sticking around. I can't wait to share this story with you all!

- Thank you for over 400 wishlists! - 8 May 2024
Hey everyone! Just want to thank you all for 400 wishlists! That's incredible! I woke up this morning to see 300 new wish lists after Alpha-Beta Gamer posted a playthrough of the Demo on his YouTube channel. You can find it here! The Demo shall be released publicly around the beginning of June. Just a week ahead of Next Fest. It will be an awesome opportunity to hear everyone's feedback. So far the comments on his video seem mostly positive! There were a few that gave me a good laugh. I really value everyone's feedback and read everything everyone says. I noticed one person said they hoped there would be accessibility options. So far I have: Story Hints Subtitles Mouse/Controller Sensitivity options Has anyone got any suggestions of some more accessibility features they feel would be an important addition? Thanks again everyone, Max :)

Hello everyone! I hope you've all had a great new year so far. Just wanted to drop in and let you all know that Nocturnals development is going smoothly. I've not missed any set deadlines for myself so far within the development, and with that in mind my predicted release date is around August 2024. (Not confirmed or set in stone!) Nocturnals is almost at 100 wishlists! Thank you everyone! Your support means the world to me, and each new wishlist gives me such a boost in productivity! Nocturnals has also been entered in a couple summer game dev competitions, so we've got that to look forward to as well. Thank you everyone for your continued support! - Max
