How do you let go of the life you’ve built due to circumstances beyond your control? No Longer Home released last year and is now on PC, Mac, Switch and Xbox! 🏡 You might have seen us nominated for Games for Impact by The Game Awards

Recently it's been nominated for Best Art Direction by the Webby Awards! If you'd like to vote for a narrative game made by and about two non binary people you can do that here: https://vote.webbyawards.com/PublicVoting#/2022/games/features/best-art-direction

Hey everyone!

No Longer Home is a magical realist point and click game series, following the personal experiences of two university graduates Bo and Ao...

Alongside the Kickstarter launch, Friary Road, a short prequel to No Longer Home, is now available for free on itch.io! Bo and Ao are the last ones left after a barbecue and find themselves stargazing.

Hope you enjoy, and back us on Kickstarter!

No Longer Home will be coming to Kickstarter this month!! We’ll be making updates here and on all other social media about the launch day, so keep your eyes peeled 👀

Also...

Alongside the launch, we’ll be releasing a free game called Friary Road which acts as a short prequel to the series. Bo and Ao are the only ones left after a barbecue and find themselves stargazing, pondering about their future, their identities, and what lies beyond their universe. The game is based off a very short vignette we made for the Fermi Paradox Jam on itch.io.

Friary Road is immediately available if you've pledged over $1 on our Patreon, but if not, don’t worry! As stated above, it will be available on the Kickstarter launch day. 

@hanadrawsthings & @celdavison play tactical space game FTL!

Watched us both make some terrible decisions, while Cel also attempts to use well timed Eric Andre gifs for comedic effect. 🚀

We streamed FTL awhile back. Now we’re now editing previous streams into more digestible 10-20 minute episodes, for those who find it difficult to sit through 1-2 hour let’s plays. You can expect Bloodborne with @eli-rainsberry and @celdavison soon.

New FTL episodes will be going up every Tuesday!

Episode two is now up!

We take a moment to reflect on what went wrong, as we make a fresh start.

29 Delayed

Ok, so as you can tell from the title we’ve got some unfortunate news, here’s the short of it: we’ve decided to delay 29. It’s still coming, don’t worry it’ll just be later than we said it would be. For a myriad of reason (some of which we’ll go into below) 29 will now be coming out sometime during early 2018. Sorry to anyone who’s been excited to play the game, but we promise the it’ll will be much better for it. Thank you for your patience.

While I was in Japan with Hana for Tokyo Game Show we had sometime to talk about the current projection for the game. We concluded that if we wanted it to reach the level of polish we’d be happy with, as well keep our mental and physical health, we’d have to spend some more time on it. This is pretty much entirely because we are a small team, most of whom have other jobs and currently we are unfunded, outside of our patreon.

This last month has been especially exhausting for Hana and I, but 29 is still coming along really nicely and we’re still really excited to be work on it and other ideas we’ve been discussing for the following chapters to No Longer Home.

As always if you have any questions you can tweet at us (or follow for updates) @humblegrove on twitter.

We’ll update you with an revised release date closer to the time. Until then keep being great, don’t crunch and thank you for your support!
