I don't know why, but I think walruses are awesome. I also managed to finish the demonstration. I can't wait for this game to be released.

Not sure if he is a playable character or not, but he looks kind of vanilla.

I've finished updating the phone call system for all current content. Once you borrow Salom's phone, you can call different characters to help flesh out Bob's story and the shape of the world.

This is one of those things I feel most people will skip, but it's been a lot of fun to write.

Not me! I love those extra bits of trivia and content.

Glad to hear it!

Here's a very early look at the city of Flopsberg. This is the first day I've worked on actually building this city and I'm still getting a feel for how it should be laid out.

This works better with sound, but the UFO now slows down its rotation when picking up dudes and speeds up again before taking off.

I hope you make some kind of Gravitron reference after their first flight. (And maybe they get a little sick, too.)

Looks great nonetheless.

That UFO is just an ordinary ferry helping passengers get to their vacation destination.

Yes, I plan on releasing the Android version a little while after the Steam/Itch version. It will likely require a little time to further compress/crop the music and sound effects to fit within Google Play's 100 MB limit.

Currently the only character in Walthros: Renewal based on a real person, Lanni provides a form of fast-travel via his taxi stands found in each of the game's cities.

Here's a look at some of the tourism that drives the economy of the Odobenus Archipelago. Things haven't been so hot in the tourism department lately and all of the islands are starting to struggle.

In Flopsberg, a Spooky Bunny tells you about spooky sounds coming out of the basement of the apartment building. You going to go check on that?
