The Cave Oasis demo is now on itch.io! Downloads for Windows, Linux, and macOS. https://bluespruceinteractive.itch.io/cave-oasis-at-shylake

(It's also on Steam, but I finally made a page on itch.io and uploaded the latest version of the demo there too. Maybe a little backwards but doing my best, hoping to reach indie game lovers one way or another!)

I just finished making a new trailer for my game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tG11aquS3CY

This one shows more of the game’s main story, with dust storms on the surface of the moon threatening to block the town’s precious sunlight.

That means we need to diversify the town's energy tech (solar field and geothermal battery), adding wind turbines, biodigesters, compressed air and buoyancy storage, etc.

I've also added the first dust storm-related events to the demo on Steam, hoping to get feedback on those before Next Fest! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3689220/Cave_Oasis_at_Shylake/

I just read this from Wired: "Activists Are Using Fortnite to Fight Back Against ICE"
https://www.wired.com/story/activists-are-using-fortnite-to-fight-back-against-ice/

Focused on the New Save Collective, a group of kind, supportive activist gamers, who've been organizing events to teach gamers about their rights when dealing with ICE in real world situations.
