- Lexi-trivia, and one day to go! - 12 August 2024
With one day to go until the release, we thought we should give the Steam page some love and attention! We’ve been working super hard to get Leximan ready for everyone to play, and we’re so excited (and nervous) that you grublins finally have the chance to check out the full game! Since we are nearing the end, we felt it was right to return to the beginning… but in ~trivia form!~ We have collated some fun facts, it’s your chance to guess whether they are true or false. Ready? Leximan started with the word ‘repair’. True! Leximan began as a Global Game Jam project where the prompt was 'repair', so we went with the idea of 'repairing' broken words. Worked out pretty well if we do say so ourselves! Leximan started with just three encounters. True! We made one for each of us at Knights of Borria, and technically had the idea for a fourth one, but it was never created. Leximan was originally…

- 🔎 Sneak Peek #1 - ORBIT? - 11 October 2023
A mysterious entity known only as 'Orbiting Student'... And is that a health bar? What did they mean by this?? Until next time! - Programancer Max ✨ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2017200/Leximan/
- 🎬 Behind the Scenes #2 - GAMESCOM QUEST! - 7 September 2023
HELLO AGAIN! It's been a little while, hasn't it? We've been very busy, I promise! We've been away these last couple of weeks attending to extremely important business. And by that, I mean traipsing off to the distant lands of Germany to give journalists a sneak preview of Leximan! But it's not all work and no play. Our trip was quite an adventure, and one we thought you might be interested in reading about. Once again, I'm Max, the programmer behind the magic, and I'm going to tell you a tale of undersea trains, exotic delicacies, and giant robots. BEFORE THE ADVENTURE As a team of three buffoons, we are incomplete without everyone here... So we convened the day before for a night of... ...Tabletop! Our studio got its start playing D&D, so it was only right that we played a quick one-shot. This time, Chris printed and painted a bunch of miniatures for a brief adventure in our homebrewe…
- 📼 The Leximan Demo is being extended! - 16 June 2023
THE DEMO LIVES ON! A few of you were sad that you wouldn't get a chance to play the demo - a week just isn't enough! So we've decided to extend the demo all the way through to the end of Steam NextFest on June 26th! Hopefully that gives you all just that little bit longer to soak in the stupidity of Leximan and co. :) In addition... THANK YOU EVERYONE! We all just want to say thank you for how amazing you've all been since our announcement with our incredible publisher Marvelous over the last couple of weeks! We were looking forward to welcoming dozens of new wishlisters over the weekend... We didn't expect THOUSANDS!? Thank you. Seriously. ♥ Until next time! - Programancer Max ✨ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2017200/Leximan/
- Play the Super Alpha Demo for one week only! - 7 June 2023
Hi aspiring leximancers, You can now download the Super Alpha Demo! (It's like a normal game demo, but you can only get it for a very limited time) We wanted to give you a very early look at how some of the puzzles and minigames are shaping up in Leximan and what better way of doing that then letting you test them out yourselves? You've got one week to download and play the demo and we can't wait to see your epic spells so if you're planning to stream it please let us know @borria on Twitter, we'd love to tune in! Before you run to download the demo, we must give you a little disclaimer because our lawyer (who may or may not be a large trout) insists we admit that not everything in the demo is final and some stuff might change before the game's release. You may also run into some ducks bugs or glitches as it's the first time Leximan has been out in the wild but have no fear, by the time…
- 🎬 Behind the Scenes #1 - SHINY WORDS! - 31 May 2023
HELLO! Welcome to our first Behind the Scenes of Leximan! A tiny round of applause, please. Thank you. I'm Max, the programmer behind the magic, and I'm going to show you a little sneak peek at what's going on behind the screen and inside that mystical little box you call a 'com-pu-ter'. JUICE When it comes to games, there's a little thing we call 'game feel', or 'game juice', or just 'juice' for short. It's the satisfying 'snap' when you drag and drop. It's the crunchy, clicky 'click' when you press a button. It's the gratifying 'bleep-bloop' when you score a point. It's the things that stimulate your senses and get you feeling something when you do something on your computer and it shoots an effect back at you. When it comes to games, there's nothing worse than a static, unmoving screen - you may as well be staring at a spreadsheet! He-heh... 'Squaag'... You may not conciously notice…
