Breaking! Good Children Say Grace is coming out on October 16!

Sep 29

Good Children Say Grace releases on Steam on October 16! You heard (read) that right!

I made it on Vancouver Island and co-wrote it with Milha Vek. Originally, it was supposed to come out in August, but we ran out of money and had to take on other gigs to avoid being, let's say, "unhoused." But who cares, we made it work, and now the game is coming out!

I want to make it publicly known that this idea to put myself on TV was totally not inspired by Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. Not. At. All.

The game

You play one day in the life of Martin and Amelia. Your dialogue choices and where you walk decide which version of that day you're living. Small moments add up to 15+ different endings.

The story was rewritten quite heavily after we revamped the scope of the game. It was originally supposed to be a demonic mystery, but we moved the storytelling toward grief and losing people, while still focusing on dysfunctional families and distorted beings.

The protagonist is grieving the disappearance of his girlfriend, and he breaks down while everyone around him refuses to do anything about it.

It's... uh... a pretty personal story for both of the creators.

Steam page and trailer

The Steam page has been updated, and the release trailer is up there now. Watch it. Please. Our assets also got a makeover. I finally don't hate my own Steam page!

Demo

The Steam demo is getting updated. The final demo and the full game both release on October 16.

Launch details

Price: USD 6.99, 10% off at launch
Languages: English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Russian
Bundle: through launch week and Steam Scream Fest (October 26 to November 2), it's in a bundle with BrokenLore: DON'T WATCH from Tokyo-based Serafini Productions
Supporter Pack DLC: for those who liked the game and want to support us further, you will be able to purchase a DLC that enables some fun cosmetic features, and provides you with a walkthrough of how to fully complete the game and unlock all achievements.

Thank you so much. Wishlist it now, buy it on October 16.

My Review!

I wasn't able to post a review of the Demo but wanted to leave some feedback! I found this game through a friend of mine and thought I would give the demo a go. The music was quite nice and the art style was very unique (which intrigued me most about the game). I really enjoy the eerie atmosphere. The story very much confused me (but I assume this will develop further as the game nears completion). I was also perplexed as to what the player was meant to do and spent a lot of time just exploring the space...

Check Out GCSG at Monochropoly Steam Festival

Jul 27

Good Children Say Grace is taking part in Monochropoly, starting today.

Monochropoly is a curated Steam event run by Skull Queens Games, dedicated to games built on black and white and limited color palettes. GCSG is in the accent color category, which is exactly where it belongs. If you enjoy the way this game looks, there is a good chance you will find something else in the lineup worth your time. Go click through it.

Now the part I have been putting off writing.

This summer was difficult. I went through a severe burnout and had to step away from development for a while. I rested, I got my head back, and I am working again.

The full game is coming out at the end of August. Exact date and details will be announced soon.

The demo is also getting a significant revamp to match the new flow of the game. The structure has changed a lot since Next Fest, and the current build no longer represents where the game actually is.

I have been humbled by how many people have responded well to this. It is still one person, fully self funded, doing all of it, and I did not expect this many people to care. I did have some conversations with publishers, and they rejected the game at the last minute because it was "too hard to sell", so no dice.

Thank you, everyone. I can't wait to deliver the final game.

Wishlist and follow if you want to see where this goes.

Patch Notes #2: Steam Next Fest Continued

Jun 17

Thanks for all the feedback! Here is an additional batch of fixes. The game should be mostly stable now, so I can focus on developing more content without technical worries.

Gameplay & Progression

Weird Place now loads the correct level. It was showing the Coffee level.
Fixed all level loading logic. Weird Place no longer loads the wrong place if you've already played it.
Stopped the audio cue from auto playing when you exit after loading Weird Place.
Fixed Amelia's dialogue choice and text position at the window.
Fixed the 2D camera so it stops wandering into the new zone from outside.

Roof

Fixed the roof section that previously broke the game.
Removed the incorrect shader area. Things look better now.

Lighting & Visuals

Brightened the bad Amelia room. You can see her now.
Fixed a bug where the wrong eyes showed up on different versions of Amelia. You would not have known this was a bug. Now it is not one.

Audio

The bad Amelia room was extremely loud. Reduced the volume on the first four honey lines.

Performance

General performance and optimization improvements.

Known Issues (Not Bugs, Coming in Future Versions)

There are still some story placeholders. In places it may feel like you're being rushed. That's the placeholder, not you. The bigger content integrations are happening now.
Performance is much better, but I'm still trying to get the game running on 2GB RAM systems for the sake of total accessibility. Super low mode may work. It looks REALLY bad.
Technically the build is getting there. I'm now mostly finalizing choices, story, and journal entries.

Wishlist and follow if you want to see where this goes. 🥚
