The interview I talked about a while back is now up in English as well on Rampant Coyote: part 1 and part 2. And be sure to play Frayed Knights while you're at it, it's definitely a game worth checking out, and one that doesn't take itself too seriously.
Progress on the new content in the final alpha version:
That means we've completed at least two thirds of the NEW content (or about 98% of the whole game) for the final alpha, which will be the final version before release! Yay! I don't yet know how long it will take to complete the rest, but rest assured, you'll be the first to know if you've signed up for the release newsletter.
We've extended the game's ending just a bit, and included a few more endings you can get. The hard work of writing the story and the dialogue is nearly complete! Anne is eagerly making sounds and dragon-shaped fountains, and I've already placed all the dialogue and the plot-relevant events into the game. Now I'm adding all the juicy bits in between: puzzles, enemies, lava, more lava, and the Pit of Pain All Night Takeaway.
The Retro Maniac magazine has a long interview with us about Driftmoon and being an indie dev in general. It's in Spanish, but I know a lot of you speak it, so head on over and tell us if they're making fun of us. Just kidding. Thanks to Ruber Eaglenest for the interesting interview!
"...I actually cared about the characters and the quests, and the gameplay is tough enough to be challenging without being so tough that it stops you progressing. A gold star is richly deserved by this offering. Well done, Instant Kingdom!"

Andrew Williams of Bytten.com has reviewed Driftmoon, and on top of all those great numbers he doled out, we got this pretty golden star! Maybe I'll print it out and hang it on the wall.
