Hello Trip Tenders!

We had a blast showcasing Tempest Tower at Gamescom this year, we even had a line of people waiting to check out the game! Seeing players engage with Tempest Tower and chatting with fans was such a wholesome experience. If you were one of the people who stopped by then you should know that you had a big impact on the team 😁

Unfortunately, all the Gamescom commotion meant that I have been slow to update the Demo build here on itch. Today I rectify that, by adding bringing you the latest Demo build as well as some info on what is new (see below).

Patch Notes

• Updated tutorial flow
• Updated "Desert World 1"
• Added Level Selection HUB
• Added player stat tracking: jumps, gusts, deaths, kills, etc.
• Added level challenges to "Desert World 1": collect all peepers, take no damage, clear all goop
• General QoL improvements

Future Plans

Our trip to Gamescom wasn't all about showcasing. We also had meetings with potential porting studios for Tempest Tower. We don't have anything to report just yet, but we would love to see the game on consoles and we are working to make it a reality.  At the moment, we don't have a plan to release Tempest Tower as a purchasable game on itch.io, but we do want to see the game on as many platforms as possible so we will keep you up to date here if anything changes. 

In terms of future content updates, we have nothing to report at the moment. We will be keeping a close eye on player feedback and providing hotfixes for any glaring issues that the community discovers in the game. If you have any feedback for us, feel free to post comments here on itch or join our Discord.

Gamescom - Pitch Please!

I'll leave you with a one of our main Gamescom highlights! we were lucky enough to participate  in the Indie Arena Booth Livestream. Max and Terri had 90 seconds to pitch Tempest Tower to a panel of judges and they knocked it out of the park! Tempest Tower was selected for a 30 minute showcase on the Indie Arena Livestream 🎉

You can check out the Half Past Yellow pitch strategy below and let us know what you think!
