Hi everyone!

It's been a while since I last updated this game here, or had anything major to talk about regarding the game. But honestly, if you're unaware (I've been keeping the updates pretty sparse) -- for the past year and some change, I've been developing a complete remake of DELUGE, this time using the much more powerful RPG Maker engine, MZ.

DELUGE Remake Announcement

This new version treats the original game like a skeleton, completely revising the plot, activities, combat and mechanics, all while staying true to the design and atmosphere I was proud of in the beginning. It's been an immense joy to revisit all of this work and add flourish in completely unexpected ways -- much of it due in part to the hard work of great friends and collaborators!

Gimmer has been an incredible collaborator on the project, helping to turn some of my wildest dreams for this iteration into a reality. Bandkanon has been designing the fantastic art that's given the new encounter system a new life. I've been working through new ideas with many forthcoming participants I can't wait to announce. Even some of my best buds on Twitch are providing their voices and music. This game is much more collaborative -- graciously! But still completely my own.

I've added tons of new music tracks, cutscenes, and expanded the game's history — the whole world has been brought to life in a bigger, more immersive way. Think of it like the Final Fantasy 7 Remake; plot holes are patched up, the story's been deepened, and everything feels more vibrant. It's been an absolute blast to put together!

Appearing at TooManyGames

Anyways, that's just a bit of a ramble out of excitement because... well, we were invited to participate in this year's TooManyGames convention at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center the weekend of June 27! As an attendee and fan of this convention since I was a high school kid, this is an absolute dream for me and I'm super excited it'll be for DELUGE! I can't wait to man a table and share the game with so many new friends...

I'll be slowly rolling out details and things to share as this event rolls closer, hopefully culminating in a couple of new pages and a release date to look forward to, but until then, I wanted to just bask in the excitement I've been feeling and make a public post about it. Thanks for supporting the game and the stuff I make! :0)
