Wormventures - Barrier 51: Demo released / MacOS dropped / Steam Next Fest

Basement Society :

Duisburg, Germany - January, 19th 2024

Wormventures - Barrier 51 is a funny classic 3D cartoon point and click adventure solo developed by Marcus Röckendorf. It will be available for PCs running Windows or Linux. A Steam page and a press kit page are available. It will feature German voice overs and subtitles as well as subtitles in English.
 

Steam Next Fest
 

Wormventures - Barrier 51 will participate in the February Steam Next Fest. The event will start at February, 5th and will last until February, 12th.
 

MacOS support dropped
 

After several unsuccessful tests on MacOS I decided to not release the game for this operating system. Since I don't own an Apple system myself and would not be able to track down errors and give technical support it would be irresponsible to do so. My motto is: Better not to offer the game on a system at all than to disappoint the players and not even be able to help them if they encounter a technical problem. More on this in this blog post: https://www.mac-bs.de/public/post/wormventures/wormventures-macos-support-dropped/
 

Demo version released
 

In preparation for the Steam Next Fest the Demo version of the game is out on Steam now. It features the first 1.5 chapters of the game and is available for Windows and Linux. The play time should be around one hour. I'm still looking for a DRM-free solution for the Demo to be downloaded. Unfortunately it is too big for itch.io. More information and the development blog can be found on the official Wormventures - Barrier 51 Homepage.
