Preparing the Ground for Chapter 4
Hi guys, Now that Chapter 3 is out, it’s time to look ahead! Here’s what I’ve got planned for the next few weeks:Before diving straight into Chapter 4, I want to tweak a few minor things in the current version of the game. Nothing major, don’t worry.As part of my ongoing quest to make the game as fun and smooth to play as possible, I’ll keep polishing the gameplay—aiming for that sweet balance of logic, challenge, and fun. Some of you pointed out that certain branches felt a bit too counterintuitive, and I’ll do my best to fix t...

Forsaken Island Update: It’s All in the Details
Hi guys, It’s been a while! Just dropping in to let you know that Forsaken Island is still moving forward—maybe not as fast as I’d hoped, since a few outside factors have been slowing me down. The good news is that things should get better from here on out, and I’ll finally have more time to dedicate to the game. Another “problem” I’ve realized lately is that I’m a bit of a perfectionist. Every time I boot up the game to test something, I end up noticing details I don’t like and… well, I can’t resist tweaking and reworki...
Deep in the Jungle of Branching Paths…
Hi guys, Time for a quick progress update on Forsaken Island!Things have been a bit hectic lately, and I haven’t been able to move forward as fast as I’d hoped (real life’s got bills to pay, after all) but the update is coming along nicely—I’m down to the final stretch: testing the new chapter. I need to make sure all the branches are working properly. And the deeper the game gets, the more branching paths there are… which means more stuff to check and break! Especially since this update includes several sequences with a ton of vari...

Beach bugs and technical difficulties
Hello guys!I've been in the home stretch of the public release of the new Forsaken Island demo for a while now...The game is already available in early access for Patreon members, and an updated version will be released in the coming weeks.Unfortunately, I've had a number of technical issues recently that have delayed the public release of the game. No need to go into detail, but I've had some major bugs with the home-made game engine (this is the biggest project I've ever worked on, and it's certainly beyond my limited prog...

Hello guys !The development of the new version of the demo is finally coming to an end very soon! In the coming days, I'll finally be able to publish this new, longer and improved version of the game.I've only got a few details left to finalize, such as setting all the sound effects (which are taking me a hell of a long time to implement) and testing all the possible branchings, but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!I've made quite a few internal changes that aren't necessarily obvious at first glance (the fil...
Forsaken Island DEMO+ Spoliers
Here are a few out-of-context spoilers as we await the arrival of the Forsaken Island demo update. 😉See you very soon !
The long road ahead…
Last week saw the launch of the demo for Forsaken Island, which was my first time launching a game (or at least a piece of it) online. I'm pretty happy with how the game has been received, even if it hasn't been without incident. Indeed, my poor video game development skills meant that I initially released a shaky, under-tested version that many people weren't even able to launch... Sorry about that...In the meantime, I've received a lot of useful feedback and ideas on how to improve the game, which I'll be working on over t...

It's with great pleasure that I announce that the first version of Forsaken Island has finally been released! 🎉You can now download the playable demo on itch.io!See you very soon !
The demo is almost out!
Hey guys, here's a bit of news for this week. The development of Forsaken Island is progressing, although not as fast as I'd hoped. I'd say the final game is about 60-65% complete, having had relatively little time to work on it in November and December.I'm planning to release a first playable demo shortly, which will include the first chapter of the full game. The demo will be available for free download on itch.io. However, with the holiday season approaching, I won't be able to release anything between now and New Year...
Introducing: Anna & Clara
Anna (the brunette) and Clara (the blonde one) are Juliet's best friends. Practically inseparable, they attach great importance to their looks and spend most of their time on their phones, browsing social networks.Haughty and contemptuous, their favorite pastime is making fun of other travelers, both boys and girls, while basking in the sun. A great program...It's going to be hard to live with them. The girls have convinced themselves that Remi, our protagonist, is nothing more than a perverted little nerd and make fun of him as soon as...
Introducing: Gigi
Gigi is the youngest of the group, only a few months behind. She has a nerdy, awkward side that doesn't leave our protagonist Remi indifferent.Rather shy and reserved, Gigi tends to believe everything she's told. Although she won't admit it, she hasn't had much experience with boys. Some ill-intentioned people might take advantage of this, but luckily Remi is on the lookout.Gigi was supposed to meet a friend on the island of Pom Pom Galli, but she disappeared just like the others. What's more, Gigi has just lost her suitcase...
Introducing: Juliette
Juliette is the typical high school queen bee. Snobbish, contemptuous and always in a bad mood, she takes great pleasure in bashing Rémi, our protagonist, whom she considers a miserable virgin nerd unworthy of the slightest attention.Juliette comes from a wealthy family, very different from Rémi's. So finding herself abandoned on an island like a piece of trash, in a hotel with no staff and all by herself, is far from the vacation she'd pictured for herself. She imagined herself sipping piña coladas on a deck chair all day long...Alw...
Introducing: Vicki
Vicki is a tour guide for a travel agency. She's in charge of showing Remi - our protagonist - and the small group accompanying him around the Pom Pom Galli archipelago.In her early thirties, deeply caring yet sometimes bossy, the blonde Vicki quickly stands out as an authority among the castaways. Her strong-willed, determined character and natural charisma make her an excellent leader for the other travelers.However, Vicki tends to put a lot of pressure on herself. After realizing that she and her group have been abandoned on the island o...
Introducing: Sacha
Cute, funny and sporty, Sacha has all the qualities of an ideal girlfriend. She's just the kind of girl for Rémi, our protagonist.The only hitch: she's in a relationship with Alex, a boorish, obnoxious, vindictive bastard (incidentally, her boyfriend of several years) with whom she's come to spend a few weeks' vacation on the Isle of Pom Pom Galli.Rémi can sense that behind their appearance of a perfect couple lies a much darker reality for Sacha, but she can't find the courage to rebel against his boyfriend, fearing his o...
A Stranded Harem
It's really bad luck for Rémi! He has just arrived on this small Pacific island and the troubles begin! When he and the small group of tourists dropped off on the boat arrive to check in at the reception, all they find are suitcases spread out on the floor and furniture knocked over. No sign of life, it was as if everyone had disappeared, staff and guests alike.Once they'd got over their astonishment and incomprehension at what could have happened here, the small group of travellers suddenly realized with dread: if there's nobody l...
