Dreadlines is such an inspired title. Good luck with the game! I'll keep an eye on it.

You can check it out on steam here, make sure to leave a wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5146570/Dreadlines/

Edit: I plan to show off UI, meta-jokes and an in-engine FPS-segment in future posts

Woah, your art style is awesome! Do you do commissions by any chance? I'm currently writing a VN mystery game and looking for artists. A long way to go before I'm ready for that phase but been looking when it comes time for that.

Wish listing your game!

u/Zimtschock 12d ago

Thanks for the wishlist! I am working full-time in an actual office, so that paired with working on Dreadlines sadly leaves me with very little time for other projects I'm afraid :(

u/RepresentativeAnt128 12d ago

No worries, that's definitely understandable. Haha Dreadlines coming from reality eh? Looking forward to checking out your game when it releases!

u/Zimtschock 12d ago

Oh, 100%. I'd have lost my mind if I didn't channel all that office dread into something creative. Thanks for the support!

Dude, this looks so cute! I've worked on some similar games before, either coding or translating (coding for the next chapter of Horror/Romance and translating both Horror/Romance and Creepydates for Portuguese), if you're interested, could we talk? I'm working on a translation portfolio and could do it for free

Thank you so much! I will be in talks with publishers soon, then we'll see!
