• 1k Wishlists + Demo Update - 24 May 2026

  "We'll live in Dreamland night and day."After slow and steady progress, VERISMO has surpassed 1,000 wishlists!I was going to wait to make this post until June, which is the 2-ish year anniversary since I started working on VERISMO, but I figured this is a good enough excuse to celebrate early and share some updates.By random chance, an old meme animation I made 3 years ago got picked up by the Youtube algorithm (you can find the youtube link on the main store page), and I seized the opportunity to shamelessly promote my game, of course!I've been accumulating about 1-2 wishlists a day since I've been more focused development than marketing, but enough people have been discovering my game through that youtube video alone that I went from 950 to almost 1,100 wishlists in 48 hours! I am extremely grateful for all the new support and interest.Here's the carnival entrance mostly cleaned up an…

• Updated Key Rebinding - 6 February 2026

  A small update to remove the plugin I was using for key rebinding. I wanted to include AZERTY keyboard options but since default controls are either WASD or arrow keys, I figured it's a fine compromise for now. Proper key rebinding options will be supported in the future.It was removed because it was strange to be stuck with only Z to confirm on the main menu. Now:"Z", "Enter" or "Space" to confirmWASD or arrow keys to move

• Demo Update 1 - 1 February 2026

  Better give them a show, then.What's new in this update?A SPOOKY new intro teeming with mysteryNew original tracks as well as public domain music remixed to perfection. Demo will no longer flag any copyrighted music.Revamped UI, though it's not completeUpdated footstep sounds that change with the terrainAdded an indicator over most interactable items, focusing on the more story relevant finds.Tightened some writingBugfixes:Made it clearer that you could talk to Papà and Ennio in the orchard, as well as interact with the orchard workersFixed sprites weirdly flickeringFixed title screen going to black after the demo endedMade player unable to walk over the split olive oil (you can try...)Fixed clipping through the exterior house stairsFixed many grammatical errorsFixed multiple collision errorsKnown bugs:I left in some playtesting saves by mistakes, if you try to load them they'll either…

• End of the Year Updates + 2026 Wishes - 30 December 2025

  Backstage, where the performers prepare and stave off the December cold...Hard to believe it's been a year and a half since I started working on VERISMO.I thought I’d be much further along in development by now, but the extra time has given me a lot of inspiration to polish everything I’m working on. It will be worth the wait.Some interesting stats...This year I started tracking my hours more diligently, and I did over 400 hours of work on VERISMO. That includes art, programming, writing, music, the whole shebang. Also:17 fully animated character spritesOver 100 unique animationsFinished most of the additional demo maps, 13 new ones + all night scenesHired musicians to recreate classical and 1910s-20s melodies as MIDI files for my remixing pleasureWrote a couple original tracks tooWrote a lot of the final script + many optional interactionsLots of stressful coding to get the world inter…

• Little Update - 20 June 2025

  On a chilly December evening in 1925, the stage is set...It's been a year since I started working on Verismo with my complete focus. There's been plenty of breaks and empty days but just as many intense weeks of focus.I can't believe it's been almost 6 months since I uploaded the demo. Time is flying fast.Before I disappear into the void again I wanted to share how my babies have changed over the year.The main cast in June 2024 (the first time I drew any of them. I had no clue what style to go for)The main cast today. Looking spiffy.I've been mulling over my progress since I uploaded the demo in January. I've decided to think of that demo as my first "game", the final demo as the second game, and the release as my third. I feel a little more accomplishment having finished the first step of this journey.My goal is to finish this next demo by the end of the year. There is a ton of art to…

• Prologue Demo is on Steam! - 18 January 2025

  The first version of the demo is live! Here's some new art for fun. Based off Perfect Blue, of course. And here's a little glimpse at how far this game has come since last summer. This is the first art I did of Vittoria's home, back when I was still trying to learn RPG Maker at the same time. And here it is in the demo. Anyways, I've already started work on the main demo, which should be about an hour playtime. Thank you if you've given VERISMO a shot and wishlisted, I can't wait to share more of this beautiful and tragic world with you. Alla prossima!

• Demo Release Update + 2025 Wishes - 31 December 2024

  Ciao everyone! I wanted to throw a little update here on Verismo's demo progress. When's the Prologue demo coming out? I still have a handful of sprites to draw and a couple cutscenes to refine, but after that I’m ready to release the demo. It’ll come out sometime in January, and first on itch.io. If I need to refine the build (as it’s my first game release ever), I’ll do that then launch it here on Steam shortly after. It's about 15 minutes long, maybe a little longer if you want to interact with everything. What’s next after this demo? If all goes well, I’ll move forward with the full demo. It’ll have around an hour of playtime I’m guessing. And that demo will go to Steam Next Fest. Not sure which one I’ll make it to yet. Part of a cutscene in which nothing goes wrong and nobody dies! What about the full release? No set date yet. But I’ve learned a lot from making this initial demo, a…
