Misc. A Tiny Tale
Updated Release Plan: Steam on July 31, Switch on July 22
[/p][p]However, we’re still on track for our original launch for Nintendo Switch on July 22nd, so if you’re eager to jump in early, that platform version will be ready to go first![/p][p][/p][p]Misc was originally built around the Nintendo Switch hardware, and we’re so proud of how it runs on that platform. With this short delay, we’re taking a bit of extra time to make sure the PC version feels just as polished and comfortable to play, with high-end performance, better options for PC, and quality-of-life tweaks suited to mouse and keyboard. We’re also using the time to address feedback from early reviewers and fix up some final bugs, so launch day on Steam can be the best experience possible. On top of that, the Steam version will now include a big set of achievements exclusive to this version. We’re working hard to make sure they feel fun and worth the effort for completionists to find![/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for your patience and support. It truly means the world. As a small thank you to our PC players, we’ll be launching Misc. A Tiny Tale on Steam with a 15% discount to celebrate and welcome you into our tiny world![/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/37749929/89570d6719c08a8482dcb8a30045d5344452352d.png"][/p][p]We’re a small team, so a few extra days to polish and get everything sorted will go a very long way, and we’re incredibly thankful for your understanding and support. The game is so close now so please look forward to its release! Thank you for being on this journey with us. We’ll see you then![/p]

Hello everyone! We're back with an all new video.
Can you believe it's now been FIVE years since we started this project? It really blows my mind how far it's come and what we've made possible. We couldn't have done it without the support of the many people who've helped along the way, the support of Screen Australia & Screenwest, and everyone who has watched these videos. I can't wait to see where Misc brings us and I can't wait for you to play it! Please help us spread the word and share this video.

Since starting development way back in 2020, it's been an incredible journey working on Misc and seeing it grow over time. This year our focus has been completing the game by the end of the year, with a release aiming for sometime early 2025.
We were lucky enough to be part of Wholesome Games Steam Celebration, which highlights incredible wholesome games. As part of this celebration, we wanted to release an updated demo of Misc which brings the first two chapters of the game to it's current stage in development.
This updated demo has some new features and improvements.
- You can now get around faster by sprinting. Careful, don't use up all your battery!
- Better support for controller, letting you access every screen and menu with just a gamepad.
- Totally re-worked Gus challenges, if you played them the first time around it's well worth a revisit!
- Refined cinematics, which now feature subtitles and a skip button.
- More options for the player in the settings menu, including audio and visual options.
- You can now freely move around while cleaning with your brush for more control.
- Many bug fixes, dialogue changes, audio improvements and visual upgrades.

DEVLOG 8 🎁 - A New Demo!
It's time for an update!✨
We've been working on the game for over three years now. Last year we focused on the final three chapters of the game, so we could make sure the ending had enough love and care put into it. This year our focus is on completing the game by the end of the year, with a release aiming for sometime early 2025. In today's devlog we take a look at how the game has progressed, as well as celebrate through an all-new demo release.
This updated demo lets you explore the first two chapters of the game with some new features and improvements.
- An all-new cleaning system, letting you collect small, medium, and large trash pieces around the area.
- Recycle your trash at the RECYC0TRON machine near every shop. This will help you get some extra cash!
- Quests have now been added which let you keep track of your objectives, stamping them off with a unique design for each.
- As well as quests, you can see your overall progress with the help of the notes menu which features collected cogs, current items on hand, and more.
- You can now zoom in and out at any time using three different zoom levels.
- Many overall improvements to gameplay, controls, dialogue, visuals, and bug fixes.

DEVLOG 7 💡 - Stamps!
Did somebody say... STAMPS?!?✨
An important aspect of our game is simply keeping track of everything you're doing. We could just add a quest menu and call it a day, but in today's devlog we'll dive into how some all-new features give regular mechanics a fun twist!

DEVLOG 6 🌼 - New Collectables
Rapid-fire new updates!🌼
Since the start of this year, we've been focusing on the final few chapters in the game. Because of this, it's been hard to show updates as a majority of our new work dives deep into spoiler territory. In our latest devlog, I thought it might be good to showcase just some of the newest additions to the games development that are either present in the early game or are by nature spoiler-free.

DEVLOG 5 😲 - Another Grant?!
Another opertunity!🌱
It wasn't long ago that we received our first grant from Screen Australia, so to be here and announce another is truly something special (and something I'm still getting used to!😱) It is with huge honor that we get to announce we're a recipient of Screenwest's Digital Games Production Fund! 🎉
This grant will focus on contracting some extra work from the Western Australian game dev community. It will also be used to further promote and improve the game.
A very special thank you again to all the amazing folks at Screenwest for their support. It's really fantastic to see my state have this kind of support for indie developers. It's been a lot of work on all sides to get to this point, so I can't wait to see what comes of it and what's next! Please check out the full list of games funded here.
Thank you again to everyone for your support along the way. We have a lot coming, including some new dev logs in the next few weeks so stay tuned!
