- Major Demo Update - v1.1.0 - 6 March 2026
Hey everyone!A major update for the Stomp demo has just released, with a wide variety of changes big and small!New Things and Major Changes:The player now starts the game in Stomp’s house, where you can talk with Stomp’s Uncle GeorgePortstones now require finding Port Keys to access. There are two Port Keys hidden in the demo.Added cooldown for using toolsBalance experiment: Lunchbox has up to 3 uses now instead of 5New visual effects for various player movementsUpdated the engine to a newer version, which should provide slight improvements to physics performance and rendering, including a reduction in stuttering caused by loading shadersMajor changes to the save system - the default directory the game was saving to could occasionally cause problems on certain systems. However, this is a pretty substantial update to the demo so I recommend players start a new file anyways!Added these re…
- Demo Update - v1.0.5: The Gear Hole - 29 October 2025
Hey everyone! We've got another demo update out.One of the main changes in this update is some major restructuring of the area around the first gear - I recently found a Youtube video where someone pulled off a skip by pogoing off a flying enemy and never learned how to use the gears. Then they used a secret shortcut to skip the next gear. It was kind of neat to see it was possible to finish the demo without using the gears, but if you don't learn how to use the gears, there's going to be problems! So I changed things to tutorialize the gears a bit better.Patch NotesThe player now gets trapped in a hole and is forced to learn how gears workFixed reset errors with the crab elevator Fixed additional out of bounds issuesMinor tweaks and fixes
- Demo Update - v1.0.4: Map Markers - 20 October 2025
Hey everyone! Putting out a slightly larger update today, including improvements to the map system. I've implemented custom map markers, which were a feature that were ALMOST complete before the demo launch, but I noticed a bunch of weird bugs popping up, so I didn't want to launch the demo immediately with them. They're in now, so exploring and remembering paths you want to come back to should be much easier!Patch NotesAdded custom map markersAdded marker to Portstone menu to indicate the player’s current locationImproved map view controlsSlighted reduced cost of Freakbeast card pack in RosevilleSlightly reduced cutterang damageSlightly reduced blastlet damageFixed low health overlay of HP UI from not being updated correctly after being healed from a health upgradeFixed incorrect lighting in some roomsFixed several niche bugs that could occur when deleting a save fileFurther prevented…

- New Demo Release Date! - 29 August 2025
After a lot of consideration and discussion with other game devs and players alike over the past week, I've landed on a new release date for the demo for Stomp and the Sword of Miracles.The demo will now be launching October 13th! A lot of little factors went into this decision, but a really big one was how many people told me they were excited to try it out. Kickstarters typically don't do well during the holiday season, and I don't want to stretch people's excitement too thin by making everyone wait until some time next year!In the meantime, I'm going to be hard at work on development further into the game in order to keep progress on track and to have new exciting things to show off around the Kickstarter!See you all in October!
- Demo delayed - 21 August 2025
Hey guys!Some of you may know that the Stomp and the Sword of Miracles demo was going to launch on August 29th. I was waiting to announce this, but the Kickstarter was going to launch on September 12th, with the demo giving it a little boost beforehand.Team Cherry has suddenly announced that Hollow Knight: Silksong, the mostly highly anticipated metroidvania I've ever seen, is going to release on September 4th.Trying to market an indie game is already really, really hard. It's the task of trying to get attention in a deep sea of other amazing games. In the case of Silksong, however, I feel like a little krill trying to not get eaten by a blue whale. Tiny devs like me rely on word of mouth and streamers to bring in visibility, and everyone's gonna be busy with Silksong for quite a while!So, unfortunately, even though it was just a week away, I need to delay the demo for the sake of Stomp…
